(12) Han Solo
(6) Millennium Falcon
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(8) Saw Gerrera
(4) Shield Upgrade

Total points: 198

The addition of Juke makes the Hawk fearsome.

Very legal. Very broken. People are using it more with Dash.

Why do you have PerCo AND Saw?

Can you explain why its broken?

2 PS 7 modified attack is, if not overpowered, VERY powerful

I don’t think it’s necessarily overpowered. Your whole 200 points are going into hoping it works, and you only get one other attack to back up the double-tap at i7. Could still easily get out-swarmed by the right list.

More so that Swarm probably don't even care that much that Lando attack at 7 instead of 5 lol

The combo is good, but you can still be arc dodged and Roark is still kind of easy to kill so it could even work only for 1 turn, then back to 7 and 5 PS attack

  • I don't feel like the combination of Saw and Perceptive Copilot makes sense. They both work on Focus results, and while another way to say "redundant" is "consistent" I think diversifying the crew could be more powerful.
  • Saw allows you to avoid taking focus actions, so perhaps something like R2-D2 crew would help cover the damage from Saw.
  • Contrarily, someone like Magva Yarro or Leia Organa could allow more flexibility to your ships if Lando is using PerCo for double focus tokens.
    • Magva won't come into effect until the second round, but she'll allow Lando action flexibility, since she'll provide Locks to back up his Focus/Evade actions.
    • Leia would do some sweet things, like letting Lando pull a White K-Turn or Segnor's Loop, and allow Roark to use his otherwise red moves. The stop is potentially quite sexy--I've heard good things about Auzitucks pulling White stops with Leia, and it ought to work quite well with a HWK, too.

Perceptive Copilot is there for the focus evade from Jyn. Blue maneuver then a TL focus evade is awesome. If I am trying to be behind debris then the focus is handy for defense, the evade is there to allow the rerolls from the title. I had Gonk on before but was only able to use him maybe once a game at most. The hawk is solid, but like stated the correct swarm i.e. ordanace bombers would tear this list to shreds. I had the Hawk duking it out with Whisper and Echo for about 5 turns before he was taken off the mat.

Magva is a good option, this list was just an answer to the 200 pt dash build someone was brining to the tables in my local meta. I did win that match also. Stayed away from Dash and dangled the Hawk as a lure, then hit dash as he was out of the rocks. With the defense mods i was able to midigate the damage from his hits.

It’s legal, and it’s better with Dash or Leebo. If you are doubling down on the one big gun then make that gun as big as possible
