Vader VS Dodonna Corellian Confluct

By Sasajak, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I’m in the second round of the Corellian campaign tomorrow. I’m up against the same player with a Dodonna fleet and including a MC30 with XX9 Turbolasers. My proposed list is below but I’ve been thinking should I change the RBD on the ISD to Damage Control Officer to shut down his Admirals ability or I could get rid of Engineering Team on the Arquitens. My reluctance is I usually spend the contain token to play Vader’s ability! I’ve gone defensive with the upgrades as it’s a Hyperlane Raid and don’t want to give the Rebels too many resources. Any help appreciated.

If she’s not already in use, Brunson would be a much greater help than Engineering Team. If Brunson’s taken, then DCO is a great idea. I’d probably go with ECMs over RBD on the flagship, but that depends on what you’re facing besides Dodonna. Good luck!

Thanks, I was thinking about changing to ECMs and DCO so glad someone else did! Never thought of Brunson. Very interesting I’ll give her a bit of thought.
