Swarm Tactics to PS5. 15 red dice. Will average over 9dmg on a Ywing at range 2. Just over 7dmg at range 3 (8dmg avg if Maarek pulls a direct hit). People like taking Howl swarms into rocks, so take advantage with a seismic on dutchess, to counter those Leia kturns from rebels or the stops from Uwings, or a flank from a fang fighter, or flyby from Awings.

Wampa still PS1, so can block other Swarms if you need it.

Ditch swarm tactics (3pts each) and swap Wampa and Hask out for Mauler and Scourge? Drop the seismics to give Howl, Scourge, Duchess and Mauler all crack shot each? 1pt bid :D

I'd take swarm tactics off howlrunner since she already has a lot of target priority, and put it on Marek, then use that point from marksmanship to put a crack shot on one of the ties. The crack shot will help get rid of the shields, the swarm tactics will last longer on a ship with 5 hits versus your standard tie, and Marek already has the push to crit off of advanced sensors.
