Does anyone have thoughts on Reeva? She seems like quite a good pair with DCO or Brunson on a SSD since an extra brace here or there can prevent quite a bit of damage (and also Avenger).

I'm not sure I like her. Not even on an SSD. But it is, of course, just a theoretical impression to me.
She is not any better against accuracies.
She is worthless during the first shot you get each round.
She needs at least one shield remaining to work what means after several shots (what you need to let her work) she may be turned useless.
The only place I imagine her giving a lot out of her is at long range with evade against small pools. That way you can cancel the damage over and over again. On a Gozanti she is Tua+ECM short of.
But on braces and redirections, which they don't cancel damage, she will run out of use sooner than later.
But I may be wrong.

I can see her doing okay as a defensive option on another Arquitens if you have Needa filling a slot.

The problem with that is that she came after Expert Shield Techs. They are not unique, only 1 point more expensive, and easier to take advantage from.

The raider is not a bad place for her though.

But she potentially lets you use evade more than once without losing it.
She's good for ships with redirect(s) and a single high value token that can preferably take ECM to guarantee its usage. I totally agree there is a lot of contention with Expert Shield Techs but Expert Shield techs is better in different situations I think. EST is better against small attacks, XI7, EWS/Seventh Fleet combos if you need an alternative Brunson, and ships with two redirect tokens if the shields get blown off.
The main uses I see for Reeva are:
- She is a counter to BTAvenger with ECM against 2 ship.
- She's a second Needa on TRC Arquitens since you get the redirect back. Need to activate her ship early in turn to make use of it though. But who knows, maybe EST + LTTs are the way to go. At least it gives you options on a multi-Arquitens build.
- Hand of Justice for a big ship without having to take an Arquitens if you can sacrifice the slot.
- You can put her on a slicer tools Suppressor trolltilla as the Tua + ECM is hilarious but kinda insane for the price.
- The ability to use a second or third redirect or brace on super tank Interdictor builds.
I dunno if Reeve is good for raiders but anything that makes Raiders better is great in my book.
Edited by antisocialmunkyI think she’s decent without redirects, as long as you’re positioning to take danage on multiple arcs... Especially to refresh evades for multiple attacks. Which puts her in raider approach abd Arquitens assistances.
Lets see if Reeva goes with one of the salvo granting upgrades... because if so, I can see her being useful on something like an ISD or even the SSD. I can imagine a few other ships Salvo will be good for as well.

Does anyone know the answer?
Can i activate a ship befor i use this card? Because it's "After the start" and not "At the beginning". For example, can i activate a gozanti with coms net, to provide a con token to a onager with cataclysm for a first turn shot? Or do i need hondo?
" After the start of the Ship Phase " is after " At the start of the Ship Phase " (e.g. Early Warning System) and before the first ship activates.
Look at Timing in RRG: "An “ after ” effect occurs immediately after the specified event and cannot occur again for that instance of the event."
