Asajj in 2.0

She's just bad. Fly something else.

How does that leverage stress clearance?

Maul lets you take a stress to recover a force charge when you take damage.

I have literally never read that bit of the card before. Thanks!

It's stuck at the bottom as a bit of an afterthought on top of the force charges. To my knowledge the Lancer is the only Scum crew carrier with native blue turns, so it seems like the most natural fit for Maul. It's something I intend to at least test out, as the blue turns are one of the Lancer's major selling points.

I had similar thoughts. While Ketsu + title might end up as better option for a Maul Lancer in the long run, I’m most interested in seeing Maul on Sabine. His Force point plus her defensive ability has some tanky potential I look forward to testing.

I found this list and have been flying it a little bit recently and it uses a combination of asajj and the falcon to make this stress based list that's super fun to fly. Here's the list:

Escape Craft - •Autopilot Drone - 12
•Autopilot Drone - Set to Blow (12)

Customized YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Han Solo - 82
•Han Solo - The Corellian Kid (54)
Trick Shot (1)
•0-0-0 (3)
•4-LOM (3)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Engine Upgrade (9)
•Lando’s Millennium Falcon (6)
•BT-1 (2)

Lancer-class Pursuit Craft - •Asajj Ventress - 104
•Asajj Ventress - Force of Her Own (84)
•Latts Razzi (7)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Shadow Caster (6)
Heightened Perception (3)

Total: 198/200

I recently played her in a tournament and ended up going 3-0 with her. She synergizes really well with Koshka Frost in the Firespray. Also having 0-0-0 to assist in giving stress seemed to work.

Lancer-class Pursuit Craft - •Asajj Ventress - 94
•Asajj Ventress - Force of Her Own (84)
•Latts Razzi (7)
Heightened Perception (3)

Escape Craft - •L3-37 - 24
•L3-37 - Droid Revolutionary (22)

Firespray-class Patrol Craft - •Koshka Frost - 82
•Koshka Frost - Icy Professional (71)

•0-0-0 (3)
Marauder (3)
Veteran Tail Gunner (4)

Total: 200/200

She just seems poor in 2.0 compared to her cost. Seen plenty flying Ketsu by contrast as her ability offers synergy.
