Lando can boost with his first action to get range for a TL, thanks to Engine Upgrade. And he can also attempt boosts even when they’re risky, and falls back on a cushy 2 focus tokens for his efforts.

Hera’s mostly the same as I had her before, though I don’t recall if Saw fit back then. At this point I’m debating FCS and shield upgrade vs a 6 point bid so she can potentially ram people. Feedback there in particular would be appreciated.

I personally think you want to be doing those white k turn after a double tap ion from the ghost and a Han Solo first engagement joust. #SomethingIsGonnaDie

While my first game of 2.0 involved Kanan pilot (because I just wanted to fly all the Force sensatives), Hera’s actually my most-flown single pilot, I think, in 2.0 😜

I’m just glad I didn’t watch Rebels until after the reign of Fenn/Kanan at the end of 1e, because I love Rebels characters, but I hate oppressive Metas 😂 It would have been sad to get burnt out on the VCX so long ago.

@davidwynne interesting. I like flying matching initiative across the board, but I do love the Leia crew, generally.

My biggest question is, are people jousting you? 😂 Good Pilots don’t tend to joust against a VCX, and I don’t feel like you’d end up ionizing too regularly, but I’d be glad to see otherwise.

Hera (Intimidation, Zeb, PerCo, FCS, VetTurGun, Dorsal)

Lando (Trick Shot, Nien, Magva, Title)

A little more consistency with mods for everyone, including more survivability on the Glorious Lando

That’s... less consistent than my original list, I feel like? Hera doesn’t need defensive mods, she doesn’t get dice. So having two focus is only food for her double-tap or the occasional long-range potshot. I’d rather Saw them into crits, personally.

Lando gains the title, great, but Magva isn’t necessary for him. Especially with Saw on Hera, she’s a scary ship to ignore, so most people won’t touch Lando ‘til she’s dead. On top of that, Lando’s excellent action economy allows him to target lock pretty much whomever he wants when he needs to. If I wanted better reroll mods I’d give him Lone Wolf and just keep him at R3 of Hera for the occasional pilot-ability-coordinate.

To each their own, but I just don’t see it being better that way.

The switch to PerCo keeps her from killing herself as fast, Magva is on Lando so that when he gets targeted, he can focus, evade, and still have a TL

Drop Zeb, I got burned bad by whisper and took a R0 shot to my behind. Plus Zeb says only primary shots so you lose the vet turret gunner ability.

How about this?

Veteran Turret Gunner doesn't do you any good on the falcon

You don't lose the ability to shoot your turret, you just can't shoot the same target again. And what are you doing letting a silly phantom get behind you? 😜

The reason I asked about a bid in the OP is because if Hera moves after their i5's, she can change her blue or red maneuvers. The idea behind Zeb is allowing her to ram a target on purpose, thus getting 5-dice shots and knocking their agility down a notch.
