The Devavegorgon

By ovinomanc3r, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Bad name I know. But this fleet came to my mind after talking in two different threads about new ideas on Devastator and Avenger.

DSD - CYMOONS Dev+Ave (398/400)
=============================
Cymoon 1 Refit (112 + 67)
+ Darth Vader (36)
+ Strategic Adviser (4)
+ Gunnery Team (7)
+ XI7 Turbolasers (6)
+ Spinal Armament (9)
+ Avenger (5)
Cymoon 1 Refit (112 + 39)
+ Intel Officer (7)
+ Gunnery Team (7)
+ XI7 Turbolasers (6)
+ Spinal Armament (9)
+ Devastator (10)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 + 20)
+ Minister Tua (2)
+ Slicer Tools (7)
+ Suppressor (4)
+ Electronic Countermeasures (7)
Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 + 2)
+ Comms Net (2)
Most Wanted
Contested Outpost
Solar Corona

Quite simple. Each of those two is a beast by its own right. Even without accuracies they can one-shot cr90 and HH at long range quite easily. Avenger is also able to do the same to a raider. Also able to cripple mc30 and arquitens and quasar (avenger). Whatever, 7 and 8 dice shot at long range. Redirects already doomed. No braces against Avenger and good chances of accuracy from Devastator. They are pricey though and vulnerable against squadrons but slicer could buy one round and those long range shots will pit down the carrier quite fast I hope.

I like this.
I like this a lot, although " No braces against Avenger" this is a bit of an overstatement.

As you said squadrons might be a hard matchup. Sloane and Rieekan could put you in a world of hurt but I feel your ture nemesis would be 8 YT-2400s because you have no way of countering them.

double post, please ignore

That is what supressor is there for. Nebs are not that tough. LMC80 will brace though.

But whatever even with defense tokens that's a lot of dmg coming your way just with the first shots of the game.

I know that this is the plan but I think a good enemy will try to be either out of Suppressor range or out of the Avenger Front arc ^^
And there are probably times where you really want to activate the ISDs first.
I always look at Supressor as a bonus nothing that brings with it any sort of gurantee.
I think you should be able to manage the carriers fast enough thoughb at least in a lot of cases.

Good news are that I already played Cymoons without titles and other techs, just GTs so not a real problem. Also whenever I had to activate Avenger first it won't be a problem either, that's how Avenger always worked. BT and Sloane came after.

Good hunting then :)
