My plan is to try and keep han close to the rocks and use Heras ability to ensure she rams into enemy ships making good use of zeb and intimidation. Advance sensors so she gets an action before she bumps. Thoughts?

It's good. I prefer Lando over Han for the extra action and initiative match helps with maneuvering.

If you add S aw crew to Hera you can drop advanced sensors. It saves one point and also works if stressed.

The crit potential may also help to draw away fire from Han.

Get 2 shots from han

Leia is awesome with Hera pilot ability

Hera's ability looks at the revealed maneuver. Leia changes the check difficulty step only. It doesn't work. Same as Hera doesn't work with Nien Numb anymore.

I should have been more specific: if you pick a red maneuver you can switch to any other red maneuver then perform it as a white maneuver.

Which is very strong at I5.

Oh, yeah. That is amazing! Especially with the VCX having red 1 and 3 Turns. It's a massive difference with where the ships ends up at. I just wanted to clarify how the abilities work together after the rule changes recently. It used to be, that you would look at the maneuver difficulty after all modifications to it, not before. Which is why Nien Numb was so good on Hera. Not anymore * silent cry * But yours is a very valid point indeed!

I also mourned the loss of the Nien combo.... 😩 😩 😩

BUT

After playing the Leia combo.... man! They just can’t predict where you’re going to be.

If both worked and I could only pick one I’d be tempted to pick Leia, now.

I second the suggestion of Lando over Han. With Magva, Nien, and the title, he is really punishing to take down, taking locks and focuses until he starts getting shot and getting free locks, when he can switch to focusing and evading.

Meanwhile, Hera with Intimidation, AdSen, Zeb, and this new Leia theory hits like a TRUCK and helps Lando do more too

In other words, I think you'd hit the nail on the head (with a bloody warhammer, I might add) with that base
