Kuat Arqs

By MandalorianMoose, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Really wanna try this out, the thought is that the arqs could blow shields off targets to set up for the ISD to finish them off while also acting as extra hull for the ISD. Not sold on the fighter screen but it opens up objective choices and should be able to get two mauler splashes off if I play my cards right. Thoughts?

Love the concept. That screen won’t do anything for you unless they pick Intel Sweep. I’d drop it to Ciena and Valen, and swap a Gozanti for a third Arq. If you take Jerry + dice control, you can take Navigational Hazards. Just sayin’...

Edit: you could alternatively drop both Gozantis for Strategic Adviser and Demolisher. Not necessarily endorsing it, but it could be fun.

Eh Not too keen on JJ tbh, I always prefer Vader with arqs

As someone who has run something similar to this, slaves turrets can be.....disappointing. not even being able to flak was often killer enough, let alone possibly a shot out the front to plink a damage. Maybe you can get it to work better than I could but my experience was rough.

I don't mind the squadron screen. My usual go to for around this many points or so is Valen, Ciena, Gamma, Zertik (or mauler if that's your style) for the same amount of points. Pretty tough to get through for 54 points.
