The goal of the list is to abuse token stacking and sharing. Kyle loads up on Focus, then each turn can Evade + pass a Focus to Esege or Evade to either Esege or Shara. Esege loads up on Focus with optional Evade, and in optimal scenarios Esege is sitting on either 3 sharable Focus tokens or 2 + 1 Evade. Shara is free to Target Lock and get Focus from Esege or Kyle.

Does this look like it'd work?

It could, but once kyle goes down (which is very likely considering the Hwk's statbar) esege will have a much harder time staying alive, giving all his tokens to shara and his rockets.

And in my opinion, these are not good endgame ships. They depend on each other way too much to survive on their own, and I'm really not comfortable with it.

I'm not saying synergy is bad, but the list can't depend on synergy alone. Howlswarms have synergy, but if howl stays alive long enough, it won't matter when she goes down, and that's what Iden is for. My point is, your list seems to be heavy on offensive synergies, but light on holding those synergies together.

To fix it, I say ditch kyle, and swap him for Dutch with R4, Proton torps, Dorasl turret, and Expert handling. From there, you won't really need jyn, so you can drop her for extra points, and with those points, you can add a hull upgrade to dutch or give shara expert handling.

Now, the list is much more powerful. Lose Dutch? Target lock with shara. Lose esege? Focus with shara. If the enemy targets shara, use her ability on defense and pound your enemies with protons and rockets!

I'm not saying kyle, or the hwk in general, is bad. He has a place in plenty of squads, but here, esege does the job of feeding focus to a single ship, and does it better!

Hope I helped!

I like the idea personally, it would be fun, but yeah those ships may be too dependent and may go down fast once one goes down.

I have a similar list where everyone can share to one other, but each ship is a bit more independent. :

Shara Bey — ARC-170- 53 Veteran Tail Gunner- 4 R3 Astromech- 3 Ship Total: 60

Garven Dreis (X-Wing) — X-Wing- 47 R4 Astromech - 2 Servomotor S-Foils- 0 Ship Total: 49

Jake Farrell — A-Wing - 40 Daredevil - 3 Cluster Missiles - 5 Ship Total: 48

Airen Cracken — Z-95 Headhunter - 36 Expert Handling * Cluster Missiles - 5 Ship Total: 43

Total - 200. and may trade Airen's expert handling for a tactical scrambler for Shara and Keep Airen or Jake behind her. might be better to keep the Expert handling though to make sure he has a shot. Or I might trade the expert handling for upgrading to concussion missiles instead of clusters.

the main goal was to have shara with every other pilot who can either give extra focus tokens or entire actions to each other. Contemplating a similar Norra build in her Arc-170, with Zeb, intimidation, and tac scrambler on her, I just worry she'll be prime target and get focused fired down too quick.
