I wanted to build a list with Saw and **** is it hard. Hard in that there are a lot of options to go with.
Here is what I settled with for a tournament this weekend:
Wedge Antilles (30)
-Integrated Astromech
-Sfoils
-Predator
-Renegade Refit
-Flight Assist Astromech
Norra Wexley (41)
-Vectored Thrusters
-Alliance Overhaul
-PTL
-C3PO
-R2D2
Saw Guerrera (29)
-Title
-Wired
-Thrust Corrector
-Renegade Refit
-Ezra
-Hera
Wedge and Norra are fairly standard and solid. I guess if you went with a VI Wedge, you could swap Norra for VI Poe. Tankier, but less hard-hitting. That's a personal style thing. I'd take Poe every time, but I just like Poe more than Norra. Other folks are different.
I've played against a similar Saw, seemed pretty cool. My opponent went with VI/Collision Detector, but the defensive benefit of Wired is statistically beneficial, even if in practice Wired never rerolls but into Blanks. Thrust Corrector isn't too bad (blanking out on 2 Wired dice happens ~28% of the time, and it's potentially a tool to generate a stress without a red move), but then again, it can shut off if you get into stalling tricks before you happen to defend. I might just go with Collision Detector. Park on a Debris and never worry at all. Something I have a thought to try on a similar Saw is Stay On Target. Dialing in a 2-speed would give the most options to swing from side to side. I dunno. Might not really be worth anything on the table, but it seems like it'd be a reasonably solid way to put Stay On Target onto a ship.
As to my opponent's full list:
Those Snap Zealots are kinda nasty. Saw's pot-shots hurt, and Wes stripping tokens is always good in multi-ship lists. I'd say that's about two-thirds similar of a list, with two generic X-Wings instead of a single Norra, and swapping between the two X-Wings aces.
Edited by theBitterFigI think Nora works out perfectly with Saw's ability. She TL/focus, and when she attacks, Saw's ability will let her re-roll a blank, she can than spend the TL for the extra die. That's very consistent 4 damage, 5 if you get in range 1.
Wedge is solid. you could PTL him to take advantage of Saw, and Wedge could potentially do more things. But stressed Wedge has limited green maneuvers, so, it's kind of a toss up.
PTL wedge would have plenty of greens with an R2 instead of FAA
PTL Wedge with R2 sounds great. Still all fits too.
Thanks!

try this, it hits like an absolute truck. if you don't want the 2 point bid, put targeting computer on Wulffwarro
