I toyed around with the general last night with my wife. He did a lot for me. Anyone running lists with this guy and if so, what is the build? I am toying with the idea of making a list with four. We will see.

My build:

(47) General Grievous [Belbullab-22 Starfighter]
(3) Daredevil
(10) Soulless One
(6) Afterburners
Points: 66

Total points: 66

I really think the boring but basic build of Outmaneuver, Soulless One, and Impervium Plating is Grievous at his best

Darth Maul (65)
Hate (3)
Ship total: 68 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 5

Count Dooku (61)
Heightened Perception (3)
Scimitar (4)
Ship total: 68 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 5

General Grievous (47)
Outmaneuver (6)
Soulless One (10)
Ship total: 63 Half Points: 32 Threshold: 4

Total: 199

yaaaaasssssss

No matter what the build (or even naked), Grevious is scary enough. In both the games I played against him he just got sent out on the flank. He's PS four, so not terribly scary, but also has a good ability and enough health that if you LET him outflank you, you're in bad shape. I had to send Mace to go kill him both times, and it worked, but had to sacrifice power in the middle to do it.

For forty seven points without any upgrades, thats nothing to sneeze at. He's not the *best* flanker ever, but you can toss him out on his own and have some serious offensive potential. Add upgrades and it gets even more spicy (I mean come on: a six health ship with offensive and defensive re-rolls baked in for 57 points with Soulless one? Thats nothing to sneeze at, for five points more than naked Wedge (that's an unfair description, considering the X wing is a better platform all around, but still: that doesn't get offensive or defensive re-rolls without some investment). Considering you can just add the impervium plating to literally just get 2x Integrated astro? I'm very much down; (you don't even have to add Outmaneuver if you don't want to invest the extra points: just take Marksmanship or crackshot or nothing at all and you have yourself a demon of a ps four. My poor, poor arc-170 will hate you forever.)

Basically: Naked for forty-seven with easy to trigger offensive ability (with linked reposition so you can have a token mod as well) is good, and pretty scary, but not terrifying. Add more upgrades for not overly expensive? (considering you can get +2 health and damage removal for roughly the same points as the entire 7B upgrade on Jedi) and you have got yourself one terrifying 60 point flanker/brawler.

Just don't shoot Palpatine and get stressed. Then you become a wimp and run away like the TV show.

I do like Daredevil on him and he's probably the only pilot in the game I can say that. At I4 you have to be somewhat unpredictable, and DD makes him that.

Flew him last night with it and proved to be pretty good once more. Using the blue 2-bank then a hard boost makes for awesome repositioning.
