10 point bid is too much! (Republic)

By Pa Weasley, in X-Wing Squad Lists

"Wolffe" (51)
Elusive (3)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
Stealth Device (4)

"Odd Ball" (38)
Swarm Tactics (3)
Cluster Missiles (5)
Synchronized Console (2)

Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Cluster Missiles (5)
Synchronized Console (2)

Luminara Unduli (44)
Total: 190

Obviously the Torrents keep together for Swarm Tactics shenanigans. The intent of Wolffe's build is an shallow attempt to make an I4 Norra; at least as long as the damage deck is left alone. Luminaria exists purely to support the rest of the squad.

Now a 10 point bid is a bit much for my local casual league. So I turn to you, oh collective consciousness of the internet, for feedback on those last few points:

- Upgrade GST to Tucker.

- Wolffe's astromech slot with either R2 to help the shields stick around longer or R4-P to open up the dial.

- Something to keep Luminara in the match a bit longer. Either shield upgrade or stealth device or an R5 unit.

- Or a completely different thingie. I look forward to the suggestions.

Calibrated Laser Targeting or Afterburners on Luminara maybe? Drops the bid to 4 points.

Veteran Tail Gunner on Wollfe. Sure it won’t trigger much, but when it does you’ll have two decently modified attacks.

Why not both and forget the bid? You could also go with CLT on Lumi and Commander Cody on Wolfe and have the cheeky 1 point bid.

Yeah honestly that list doesn’t need to worry about a bid at all given you’re likely to see a lot of Anakin, Poe, and QD for a while.
