Stress has become a huge thing in our local meta. Lots of 3 ship rebel lists that just throws out stress tokens like they are cotton candy. Typically this shuts down my lists as I love stuff like expertise, actions, and jan ors. So... lets play.

Should be pretty self explanatory here... Tycho is the original "I don't give a ****" about stress pilot. Sure, his 2 die attack is going to be very underwhelming, but hey, he has a missile of doom! Keyan also likes stress, and will be fine without actions in this build. He would like a barrel roll sometimes sure... Ezra? Ezra throws all the stress back atcha!

is this going to win a store kit? no... but it's going to be fun!

Rage Tycho is a lot of fun. Gotta bring some D10s to keep track of that stress. I've had a friend of mine get up to like 40 stress in a game (more in a game fully off the clock). I've only flown him twice personally, but I only got up to like 18 or so, I think.

Another somewhat stress-resistant ship is Intensity Poe with BB-8 and Primed Thrusters. If the stress gets too heavy he's not in a great spot, but he'll easily handle 1 or 2 stress. It's too late at night for actually doing the math, but at least PS 8 could fit in there instead of Kyle.

While I love your Ezra (I fly him with Snapshot myself) and Tycho is fun, though idk how competitive, but Keyan is absolutely BONKERS good with Maul. Right now he is WAY over-invested. VI, E2, Maul, and Collision Detector is a 34 point bomb with fully modded, actionless attacks who is super flexible with movement.
