I'd prefer to have her in both myself.

Those are they two most likely on that list, so you should be good.

If she keeps the same ability, it would probably be best to keep her away from the RZ-1 (though I would love flying her). Her original ability on a B-Wing would be more balanced.
Now, new ability for Hera, and then A-Wing seems more likely.

Honestly, I think they'd consider giving her a new ability on the B-Wing as well. Although her current ability would be a ton of fun there.

Well she flew the Ghost, shuttles, B-wing, A-wing, X-wing and Y-wing on screen. I want her in all of them but I doubt that's going to happen.
I want rogue one pilots in the X-wing and Y-wings, and I kinda want Sabine and Tycho in the A-wings, so Hera gets the B-wing for me.
Edited by BVRCHIs the Wave 6 done? No Republic and Separatists ships? (or those might be announced in the next days?)

Her ability would be very good on either the B-Wing or the A-Wing.

We really don't know. The bonus announcements in the second stream were completely unexpected.
YAAAAAAY!!!!! So excited for everything! First Order DEFINITELY needed another ship. Although 3 ships isn't much, the card packs probably took a lot of development time, which usually they would put towards making new ships. Also yeah, they could have some TROS ships which they haven't announced for confidentiality reasons.

Agreed. However considering the B-Wing’s strength is in its Reds, it has limitations.
Hera in an A-Wing is an i5 Ace who can dial in a blue and still choose the other 7 options when it’s time for her to move and do that pretty much every turn.

Nobody touched this. The Marvel minis is not FFG at all. Only connection is the two guys announcing were friends so one did the other a favour.
@Hiemfire Yes, Hera's ability would be strong in both of those ships. Too strong, in point of fact.
As @SabineKey says, Hera in an A-wing is an i5 ship which can pick between 7 different options when she flips her dial, ranging from turns in either direction to a 5-straight, then can double-reposition afterwards before doing it all again next turn. And the B-wing is only marginally worse; she could do anything from go straight to hard-turn to flip. Sure, there's the downside of stress -- oh hi, Cassian.
About the only safe ship to give Hera that she flew in Rebels is an X-wing, as it's got reasonable but not extreme options for both red and blue moves (even with an R4 involved).
Edited by DR4COWhile Hera would be salivating at that Awing dial, the question is what can she do with it?
She can go wherever she wants, but can she actually start scratching at her opponent's 200 points?

2-dice guns do actually hurt things these days. We're not shooting into Palp + Autothrusters + Focus + Evade anymore.
And Hera would be unique in that she could dial in aggressive move, wait and see if the opponent turned on her, then switch it for a safe one if necessary. She doesn't have to hedge like other aces and could push for good shots in near-complete safety.
EDIT: Also, PRockets are a thing. And, again, Hera can just wait and see which move she needs to do to line them up.
Edited by DR4COVery cool stuff. I almost certainly won’t be able to justify a new YV-666, but the paint job is tasty enough to be tempting. Fireball seems like a nonzero way to expand Resistance, which they pretty desperately need. And speaking of desperate, it’s a new FO ship! Heck to the yes!
I’ll definitely be getting one Fireball and one Von Beethoven.

I can't be the only one that is not excited about this. The funnest part of the game is guessing dials!
Just now, gadwag said:I can't be the only one that is not excited about this. The funnest part of the game is guessing dials!
Oh no, I'm not excited about the prospect. I'm arguing that it'd be so disgustingly good that FFG couldn't possibly be silly enough to do it.

You're not.

Agreed. Hera's current text on an A-Wing or B-Wing would be kind of absurd.
Now, I wouldn't necessarily mind Hera thematically, and both ships could make strong use out of an Init 5 pilot, but for the love of the Whills, change her pilot ability.
HOLY CRAP!
I AM SO EXCITED TO FIELD KAZUDA AND VONREG OH MY GOD.

Find one : Still no reprint for Starviper ! So if you are a newplayer you can't have acces to a ship when a veteran can ! FFG still lie to us and their super friendly beginner format aka Hyperspace !
I'm kinda bummed that Prequel factions aren't getting anything.

No!
SCREW THEM.
I've had to sit here in The Resistance getting only one ship in wave 4, and NONE in wave 5! But you know what? The First Order had it worse! And the **** TIE/RB still isn't here!
The prequels can
WAIT
for once! They've been getting saturated and there's other factions that need more stuff! Again, the TIE/RB still isn't in!

Dont think the extra development time for the card packs should prevent them from adding 2 more reprints to round out the wave.
Would have loved this wave if it also brought us rz1 A-wing and tie interceptor reprints
edit: nevermind, just found out there will be soom more reprints. I am happy and move along. Move along...
Edited by RevanurNever tell me the odds - yeah, pumped for that one! Finally something officially else than repetitive 400/6 deathmatches.
Hotshots and Aces - cool! Wonder if they have only new pilots or maybe even updated ones (e.g. current Xizor gets pretty much invalidated by the Wing Leader cards in Epic).

No, you are not the only one.
I dislike also Vi Moradi with Compromising Intel, Informant/Listening Device and the Force Talent Sense. (Also, this squad with Soontir, 3 Ties and Vader with Sense getting traction gets me worried.)
"But...but...but once everyone has all the common upgrades, what will people complain about?!"
The "wrong" amount of cards. It will be either too few or too many of the respective upgrades.
Hera will have a new subtitle (Phoenix Leader) and a variation of Tycho's ability, probably limited in number of stress tokens but possibly adding maneuver flexibility. Good for both the A-Wing and the B-Wing, and she may well appear in both (double-sided ship token with different ships?)
Also note the box art.
K-2SO IS COMING
Wave 6 will also have TieInterceptor, Tie Defender and A wing.
As per in-flight report from Gen Con.
