The difference is that Resistance feels like Poe & nothing else, while First Order feels like Kylo's not great but there's plenty of other stuff in there.

Maybe, but the Falcon looks solid and the other T-70s look quite playable IMO. I just think they missed the mark on Kylo not being a top pilot; he's already expensive enough for it. I think that removes him from top tables. His grandfather is a hugely better choice; maybe should have been only slightly better?

You mean Poe and Rey

While fo feels like...quickdraw?

Quickdraw had a perfect spot in 1.0.... I'm not seeing it as much in 2.0.

But he'll do far better than his movie opposite Kylo. FFG gave him the spit, he's only a 5 and his boat costs too much for it's hopeful output. On the new movie squads, Poe will be the obvious one to fly to victory... and he'll be better than the T-65 pilots, though they are loved.

I disagree about Kylo Silencer.

I think the "movie squad" combo of Kylo and Snoke is meant to be good.

Support Kylo thematically with Snoke in a Bat and look at Poe's dial the whole game.

Oh yeah, and bio-Hex coordinate Kylo from across the board...

No big deal.

Sounds like a purposefully-designed, competitive FO list archetype to me!

This is what I’d like to try:

Poe (total: 73)

-R4 (2)

-Heroic (1)

-s foils (0)

-Black one (2)

Rey (total: 87)

-predictive shot (2)e

-Rey’s Millenium Falcon (5)

Tallisan Lintra (total: 40)

-Heroic (1)

-Crack Shot (1)

-Homing Missiles (3)

Total 200 points:

its running all 3 ships extremely cheap, but tallisan adds some good survivability and all 3 ships have good stats alone without all upgrades.

What is all the love for R4?? It only gives a blue 2 turn, thought BB or BB8 would be much better. I know it costs more, but still.

I thought about BB8, and Heroic, and shield upgrade, giving him lots of movement, and 8 life.

I got a damaged engine crit and r4 really helped mitigate that

Ooo I hadn't realized it makes your turns more difficult rather than just red (Because lets face it most ships it just turns them all red.) Real cool that R4 isn't made useless on those.

That's gonna be a real nasty crit for Vultures, though, for sure. Maybe worse than the ion one.

Predictive Shot is a (4) point force upgrade not (2) points. Unfortantely the list cost is actually (202).

My bad, the launch bay app has it as 2

As it says, now he is out, well kinda, how fat are you building him, I am going for a shield upgrade, to give him 8 life, seems legit, but how much more are you gonna put on him, and... What are you running him with ?+

192 total

83 -poe , F paint, r4, black1, hlc, heroic

64- Ello, m9g8, heroic

45- Lulo heroic, outmaneuver

It’s probably not the most competitive list but here’s what I’m hoping to run once they are out.

Poe: BB-8, primed thrusters, config, HLC, heroic, b1

Temmin: BB Astro, config, composure

Talli: heroic, predator

190 total

I have a soft spot for Snap and will be trying desperately to make him work in 2.0. Poe is definitely loaded up but always possible to trim later

Yea, Rose is a disgusting card, and the reason Im going to give Resistance a try. You can never have a bad roll with Rose crew. Slicers is just icing on the cake. I think Rey at I5 works fine with all the I5s out there that want you to move first/fire first

Predictive Shot might actually be quite good with Rose and FLS.

While I don't know that I'll fill the Tech slot on Poe (empty is almost surely fine), I tend to think the right pick is Primed Thrusters.

1. Ferrosphere Paint is probably going to be fine. A lot of ships would probably find it somewhat awkward to deal with.
2. Weapons Guidance? I don't really like it. It seems like saving a focus for defense is a good idea, if folks have shots on you.
3. Pattern Analyzer, which I think is generally good, seems out-of-place with Poe. He'll often have stress from his pilot ability and be unable to take red moves, and if he does take a red move, he won't want to use his pilot ability, which is kinda most of why you're bringing Poe in the first place.
4. Primed Thrusters seems pretty handy, though. Stress control isn't too common in this game, but it does happen. Primed can give you an out. 4-LOM throws a stress on Poe when he was already stressed? Without Primed, you'll be in a pretty bad situation. With Primed, you could dial in even a white move, and perform a single movement action afterwards.
   1. Or maybe Poe is just single-stressed, but in danger of getting blocked in a bad position. Pulling a white move could give him the space he needs, and he'd still get a movement action.

I think until and unless the FAQ explicitly states that the combo doesn't work, my prime choice for Poe's talent slot will be daredevil.

Both Poe's PTL ability and Daredevil speak of a white action (i.e. boost) that is " treated as red", not that it is red, so it technically still is white, but will give you a stress. At least that's how it can be interpreted, thus the need for a FAQ. Being able to use the sharp 1 turn for boosts - and at no extra cost if it's your special Poe action gives Poe quite a bit of extra maneouverability, especially with BB8.

So one fun list I want to try is

Poe Dameron (68)
S-foils (0)
BB 8 (8)
Primed Thrusters (8)
Daredevil (3)
Black One (2)

89 points total (expensive, but almost impossible to pin down. Even an ionized and stressed Poe has multiple quite far-away end positions available thanks to BB8 and Primed thrusters.)

Rey (80)
Finn (10)
Title (5)
And then either Rose or engine upgrade (9)

104 points total.

193 points total, even leaving a few points for the initiative bid or for predictive shot.
