I have a last hurrah 1e tournament coming up in a week and I want to make sure I understand how Vader and Krennic work together.

Krennic gives Vader Optimized Prototype, this Vader gets an extra shield.

When Vader attack’s with primary, if Krennic is at range 1-2, then Krennic’s ship gets a target lock on that ship.

Is this correct?

•Darth Vader (33) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Stealth Device (3), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

•Captain Feroph (31) - TIE Reaper
Adaptability (0), •Director Krennic (5), Courier Droid (0), Advanced Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Correct!

Vader is perhaps the most ideal candidate for Optimized Prototype (outside of Whisper carrying Krennik around herself). He typically wants to save his tokens for defense anyway, so his two attack dice are usually pretty garbage in the modern 1st Edition era... but when he can spend a junk die (focus/blank) to automatically eat a shield, all the better. And if (given your above setup) he can also gain a target lock, he still gets to add that critical result... all before giving Feroph a target lock of his own!

I would, however, strongly suggest trying to find room for ISB Slicers on that Reaper. Double-Jam is SOOO powerful in the current meta.

ISB, really that good huh? In practice (ie vs myself lol) I find the evade is very strong for the Reaper. Only noticed a few times for Jam to strip a token. I will practice with it. Thank you for advice.

I keep toying Vader with Stealth Device or Boost though

slicer is very strong, yes

You spend one action on your worst ship for two on their best.
