Mooning Vadar

By Talism, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So I've gone all in on the 2 cymoon build with Vader , since im a sucker for the old man in the black suit

A Couple of things i'm tossing up is changing if H9 are better then trying to use Jonus. which will let me drop both intels.

changing the intel officer to strategic on the avenger is a better spend. for an additional activation

In my experience Vader is quite solid fishing accuracies with Cymoons by his own.

When I really need that accuracy I reroll every dice what makes up to 12 dice in practice so there is your accuracy. With xi7 and intel officer I am not sure what else you need.

IMHO SAd does nothing. You have three activation. Any other three activation fleet will have some big ship so also SAd giving you any true advantage. Fleets with 4 will probably have a big ship too so much more the same. Put him if you really want to have the same level than others three and natural-4 activation fleets but learn how to play without that is a better idea IMO.

interesting idea on just forgoing the strategic officer, and just going with out it. ill try that first and see how often i would of liked it of have it.

another thing i was thinking of was the possibility of a slicer on the goz, to use on a yavaris or any main style carrier

That could be a good idea. SFO will laugh at it but only once. An there are also navigate commands and crucial engineering to switch off.

I didn't try gauntlets yet which are another alternative.
