Raddus Dolls?

By RogueCommander, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

First attempt at Raddus. Thoughts? I had also thought about Ordinance Pods, but went with ER for a bigger initial punch.

Looks pretty good! I wouldn’t bother with Strategic Adviser, as he’s most useful early on. By the time you’ve jumped in, you should be ready to shoot right away. Lando could really help vs BTAvenger though. Intel is super important with B-wings, even if it’s just an HWK in the RLBs to ensure the B-wings get their shots, it keeps enemy squads from covering their targets. If they get engaged, they’ll have a hard time being relevant.

Yeah, I wondered about a HWK as insurance. Probably worth adding, b/c it’s all about trying to maximize that first bout of burst damage. Can’t really afford to have those Bs tied up.

As as far as Strategic Advisor, I have no experience with it yet. Just wanted to see what it could do, but what you’re saying makes sense.

thanks!

Any other officers that make sense? Besides Lando?

i haven’t played against so many of the newer fleets... BTA, still haven’t faced Sloane, Thrawn...

Hondo offers a token to the Raddus ship. Damage Control Officer gets some use from the contains. Leia can turn another ship to a Concentrate Fire command. Note that Chart Officer doesn’t affect deployment, Intel Officer is exhaust, and the others are useless/fringe for various reasons.

So there’s this. Swapped out Ruthless Strat for Jan. I’ve never used RS, so I don’t know if that’s a good swap. I know Jan is usually a good bet, but I know she’d struggle without Escorts.

Probably worth it; I like this. She’ll pay off much more than a minimum turn 4 flak attack (3 should be a double arc on something.) Dropping just one B to an X might buy a crucial turn for a pretty small bombing reduction. Shara is a little weird with this fleet because you won’t be forcing them to attack her with so many juicier targets. Swapping out her and Tycho is another way to get those escorts in.

Swap out the CR-90a for Yavaris with Flight Commander. Double-tap with 3 of the B-Wings. Watch stuff melt.

Now that’s just dirty.

I know everyone else calls this the Raddus Dolls, but I prefer the “Turducken”.

Oh ****. I basically just remade one of yours.

:o

No worries. It’s a fun fleet.
