So the idea is that you move Arvel into position back a bit and focus or TL, then ram your primary target with Hera, and Fenn follows up coordinating Arvel into a barrel roll—>boost (or just the latter if it works better.) If you can manage to line it up, the enemy gets -2 defense dice against everyone for the turn.

I left 10 pts for a coordinate bid (also moving Hera after enemy i5s)... I could replace Kanan with Saw to save a few more points... I threw elusive on Fenn for a bit of cheap surviveability, though obviously you can’t plan on using it much if you’re using his pilot ability. Chopper is a bit of insurance for the coordinate if you absolutely need it after a red move (Kanan can help destress him, too, if it’s an issue).

Any other suggestions to tweak the upgrades on Fenn or Hera? Obviously this is more for janky good times than anything else.

It just occurred to me after posting that Fenn could be docked if you wanted... Heh

Can't Coordinate if Hera bumps with Fenn Rau docked.

The docked coordinate happens at the start of the activation phase.

Missed that it has the option to Coordinate before activation when docked.

I worry this is an over-investment in the bump plan. Certainly cool when you pull it off: -2 agility is BRUTAL.

But if you don't, it's just an A-Wing. I'd advocate replacing Arvel Crynyd with a Sabine Wren Attack Shuttle. She's pretty self-sufficient and can hit a lot harder than Arvel when Arvel isn't able to bump.

And it'd be a SUPER FLUFFY list of all the major Rebels cast except Ezra. Like, cartoon bears cuddling toilet paper rolls fluffy.

I guess with Fenn Rau, there's a question of whether you'd want to run Chopper-Astromech or Chopper-Crew. An extra shield for Fenn Rau can be handy. Or just switch to R5 Astromech? I dunno. It's an option.

Either way that wasn’t the idea, ? but thanks guys

My first attempt at flying Intimidation/Zeb/Kanan Hera was actually with Sabine-shuttle and Ezra flying the Phantom II with Chop crew. Worked pretty dang well for a fluff build. (Ezra was largely extraneous, though, yes.)

The point of bringing Fenn was to make it twice as plausible to get Arvel’s bump. If it was to boost Hera with an action is just use AP-5 and call it good there.

Competitively, yeah, Arvel’s probably not the right move, but I also have yet to fly 2.0 A-Wings.

On the topic of Hera ram lists, I tried another build with Lando flying behind her for the “coordinate.” Again, mostly aiming for fluff based on his first appearance in Rebels, but 2x i5 large bases sounded fun, and I gave Hera a double-tap option in that one.

I like the thought.

It reminded me of this squad.

And one of my lists.

Oh hey that looks familiar

That was my latest pondering, not the whole list. Been tweaking and adjusting this ever since 2.0 dropped and I spotted that Hera had been given an EPT slot.

I’m just gonna throw this out there in my defense, that I got on the Hera-bump-train all by myself towards the beginning of all these lists with her ?

(Whoops double post just an update, been thinking about this list)

I threw the titles on both ships so that he can actually technically dock, and doesn’t have to be bumping in order to do so. I think(?) this means if he’s stressed or ionized or doesn’t have anywhere to go, he can hop aboard the Ghost to cool down a bit (can anyone confirm if you lose tokens upon entering reserve? I need to give the rules boards a scan again.), and if Hera’s not stressed (50/50 chance) you can still get that free i0 coordinate to give Arvel a token or move him to a better place.

And then, since Fenn is already squishy and likely to be hiding behind Hera to begin, I threw tactical scramblers on Hera. Still 6 points for bid.
