Anakin Naboo N-1 + Aethersprite (x2)

By polmoneys, in X-Wing Squad Lists

“ Before you reveal your maneuver, you may spend 1 :ph34r: to barrel roll (this is not an action) “ is a lovely ability, instant favourite. Two barrel rolls, pre-movement stress-who-cares barrel roll...

I think going full throttle/ daredevil / R4 is a small investment that pays off.

With torps I’m a bit more clueless. Passive Sensors + 1 :ph34r: might be enough to land a good Proton Torp but ... We can mitigate this issue with Plo* so let’s focus on the sprites:

Mace Windu (45)
Heightened Perception (3)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (18)

Mace, as Anakin, clocks at I4 so HP will be helpful against lots of things. We all love Mace so he stays.

To further mitigate initiative issues and block with my super-repositionable ships I’m inclined to use Sense and to trigger it at Range 3 the best carrier might be Obi for that extra :ph34r:

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
Sense (5)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (19)

If we are to play the blocking game maybe a R1 torp > R3 torp ?

Anakin Skywalker (41)
Daredevil (3)
Passive Sensors (3)
R4 Astromech (2)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
Total: 196

196/200

*Plan B: switch Obi for Plo (probably sense out), add HU to Mace and give Anakin proton torps? Ideas/comments?

:ph34r: === Force

APT has always been a let down, but it may actually be decent in this case due to the blocking as you mentioned. Only 1 way to find out!

Obi doesn't have much synergy here since everybody is going to tend to want TL over focus. Plo would be better. Put Sense on Mace, he's the best carrier with Obi gone.

Also, even with the increase, I think you still take R2 over R4 is he fits.

Also you can probably get away without Passive for a R1 munition, and Collision Detector is great on Ani.

So if I ran it I'd go:

Mace/Sense/7B/R2
Plo/7B/R2
Ani/R2/Collision/APT
