Here is a list I'm thinking about playing this weekend. The question I have is a U-Wing good at initiative 3? I have heard you should take Partisan Renegade over Blue Squadron Scout even though they are the same cost is initiative one is what U-Wings should do. I am also thinking about adding Elusive to Braylen since he likes to be stressed. Any thoughts?

RZ-1 A-wing - •Arvel Crynyd - 43
•Arvel Crynyd - Green Leader (34)
Crack Shot (1)
Intimidation (3)
Cluster Missiles (5)

A/SF-01 B-wing - •Braylen Stramm - 54
•Braylen Stramm - Blade Leader (47)
Crack Shot (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (4)
Tractor Beam (2)

UT-60D U-wing - Partisan Renegade - 47
Partisan Renegade - (43)
Tactical Officer (2)
•Leia Organa (2)
Pivot Wing (Closed) (0)

A/SF-01 B-wing - •Ten Numb - 53
•Ten Numb - Blue Five (46)
Crack Shot (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (4)
Tractor Beam (2)

Total: 197/200

So I like this outline, but a couple things:

I think Arvel is best with Intimidation and Predator

Bs are point traps. Give Ten AdSen because its AMAZING, but neither need anything else. Cassian, meanwhile (still with Leia/TacOff if you want), can basically give Braylen reds every turn

I'll second @Greebwahn 's advice. Predator will trigger most of the time arvel uses his ability, and sometimes for other shots too, definitely worth 1 more point for him over crack.

Also: Cassian plus Braylen is great because it really opens up his dial so he can still move freely (as freely as a B-wing can)

I did think about that and made the change as I updated Arvel with Intimidation and Predator. I also, added Elusive to Braylen so he can get that dice reroll and constantly update the Power token as he gets stressed.

Take elusive off of braylen. He already gets rerolls and you will very rarely roll 3 green dice and need to reroll all of them. I personally suggest squad leader on braylen, but maybe not in this squad specifically

I've been running almost this exact list except adding Garven Drais instead of Arvil. If Garvin shoots first he can give Braylen a double modded shot and/or give the U-wing a mod if it coordinated an action to someone else.

Edit: And if you beg, borrow and steal some points (remove the crackshots, take intimidation of the Uwing, you can even fit Wedge in as the fourth ship)

In a similar vein, I've been flying this using gas clouds as obstacles:

Can AdSen be used if Ten is stressed?

You're counting on spending his stress - on an ideal turn, AdSens a lock, pulls a red, fires, uses the lock to reroll, spends the stress for focuses
