Dodonna Liberty HIE/H9/WBT

By vercingex, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi all,

This is the current version of a list I've been working on for a little while. I'm pretty happy where it is right now, but I had a couple final tweaks that I'm looking for help with. The two things I'm mainly looking for feedback on are;

1. How are my objectives looking? Red is a close choice between Most Wanted and Opening Salvo, and I keep going back and forth between them. And I'm completely unsure of what would work for yellow, so any tips there would be welcome.

2. I have four points remaining on the list, and I can't decide what a uod be the best way to use them. Choices I had in mind are;

-Leaving a 4 point bid for first, which would help the MC30 greatly

-Putting the Endeavor title on the Liberty

-Changing the ExRacks on the MC30 to APTs for Dodonna synergy

-Fitting Hondo in somewhere, because he's always useful

Those are my main questions, but any other advice is welcome. Let me know what you think and thank you!

Perhaps switching out strat adv for Mon Karren title. Your red objective, with your current build, perhaps might be advanced gunnery. Caitken and Shollan are also good on the star cruiser if you can fit them in.

Shara and Tycho aren't super valuable by themselves; any committed carrier list isn't even meaningfully slowed down, and their average damage against ships is... meh, for 33 points.

For their cost, I'd drop them and add Quantum Storm GR75 with Slicers (or Comms Net and a bid), and the aforementioned Mon Karren. That gets you up to 6 activations and frees up the officer slot on the Liberty.

Definitely APTs on Admo; they aren't good against an SSD but 100% worth it everywhere else. This LMC80 build might be worth considering:

MC80 Star Cruiser (96)
• General Dodonna (20)
• Intel Officer (7)
• Caitken and Shollan (6)
• Engine Techs (8)
• SW-7 Ion Batteries (5)
• Spinal Armament (9)
• XX-9 Turbolasers (5) or XI7 Turbolasers (6)
• Mon Karren (8)
= 164/165 Points

It's mean, and it complements the "drill" damage from the APTs. Dodonna works with picking both crits, C&S control the reds, the blues are fine. If you go XI7s you'll almost always get 1 face up thanks to Mon Karren.

Also, Hyperspace Migration yields a disgusting amount of victory points (no. of ships * 100 is the limit) and doesn't cost you your crit effect.

Hyperspace Assault is pretty mean with Admo, too.

Thanks, I really appreciate the advice, and that Liberty build looks like a blast.

My one concern is that I'm a little nervous about dropping to no squads. This may be drastic, but I almost wonder if I could drop a Corvette and really lean in to the squads, adding Dash and maybe Ketsu, or some X-Wings?

I really like Shara/Tycho with Dash and Lando if you want a bit of multi-purpose squadron presence. I agree with Jabba and Shadowmax on the Mon Karren inclusion, but I’m also a huge fan of HIEs. They even work well against the SSD with DCO provided you’ve got Mon Karren included.

I like Lando but I figured Ketsu's Bomber keyword would synergize with Dodonna better. Plus, Lando the squadron means no Lando the officer on Admo. Though I suppose I could just throw a SFO on there.
