My son played in a local store tournament or two in v1, and will be doing his first one in v2 very soon.

His list is as follows:

Pure Sabacc, shield upgrade

Whisper, 0-0-0, Adv Sensors, Juke, Stealth device

Darth Vader, FCS,

196 total

He's used a variant of this (Outmanoeuvre instead of Shield Upgrade on Sabacc and Agent Kallus instead of 0-0-0) in his last three games and won each one.

First against someone at our club who is a pretty decent player (who used scum), the second against someone in the local store (not sure what they used) and then against me flying rebels recently.

I'd be interested to know if you think this is a decent build, what would you change etc.

I'd really want supernatural reflexes on Vader, tbh. Ditching AdSen from Whis would be enough

Looks fine as is. I'd probably build it a hair different, but that's a personal taste issue, more than "I think it's wrong" or anything like that.

• Pure Sabacc (Shield Upgrade) 50
  • I also like Duchess (perhaps with Lone Wolf?) who's cheaper, but then that starts to change the character of the list a good deal more.
• Whisper (Juke, 0-0-0, Collision Detector) 64
  • I've really loved flying Collision Detector on Phantoms. I don't think of it as insurance against mistakes (although that can happen) so much as a tool to get into place you couldn't otherwise get. Deliberately decloaking over an asteroid has often put me somewhere unexpected.
• Darth Vader (FCS, Supernatural Reflexes) 85
  • Supernatural can do some pretty potent stuff on Vader, with pre-move actions, particularly before a red move.
• Currently 199, and Shield Upgrade off Pure Sabacc would be my first cut for a bid.
