I just like the symmetry of those three all with deflection and ensnare. Just go all in lol

Are you just taking Berwer for the higher initiative? His ability is pretty much useless in this list.

Yes. That's pretty much what I said in the Hive thread; you're investing 2 points in him over just a generic Petranaki Arena Ace, but if you think Initiative 5 is worth 2 points, go for it.

Not giving him Ensnare is potentially a good call since he pays an extra 6 points for it and doesn't benefit from using it to the same degree Sun Fac or Chertek do.

I'm not sure if I'd suggest predator or Snap Shot for him, though - you've got so many point spare there's certainly no inherent problem with giving him Snap Shot, and when you've got only 3 aces on the field bonus attacks are always worth considering.

Hmm šŸ¤” Make sense.

A 12-health list, even with 3 agility list takes some serious proton bombs to fly.

I flew Sun Fac with no upgrades, Chertek with Ensare and two Aces with ensnare on the weekend. I don’t think I would be game to fly 3. I had a 1 point bid because I didn’t bring my upgrade cards and bought the ships on the day. If the other pilots are in a good position Sun doesn’t need to move last. The repositioning from the other 3 Nantes will get him the shot he wants. I’m keen to hear how you go with 3 though!
