I wanted to share some thoughts about new uwing pilot K2SO - this reprogrammed imperial droid has really nice action potential.

A natural partner for him appeares to be rarely seen Baze Malbus - u can treat focus action as red which gives us eye, calc and stress. Lets follow this way - f.e. lets give K2 AdSen and Baze. This way he can get those 2 green tokens and clear the stress.

With some help of friends, K2 can have 3 calcs, eye, evade and stress 😊 this is what i think might be funny - 4 points left for smth.

The problem with this is that K2so can’t perform the focus action — he can only calculate, so he can’t use Baze. At best he can wind up with three calculates and an evade or focus (advanced sensors 3po calculate, red stop for another, and then a focus or evade if Two Tubes transfers him a focus)..

However if you team him with Jake in the Awing, activate him and keep him unstressed you could use Jakes ability that allows fire lies to perform a focus action to get K2SO a focus, then it could all work!

My bad, obvious - i took that from LaunchBay app 😭 well, need to think of something different then....

You can get focus onto K-2SO by giving him Lando crew, but it's not super reliable.

Yeah I noticed that in Launchbay when I went to check, and it got my hopes up for a second that I missed something!

This leans in to the get K2SO a focus action conceit. Is it good? Probably not. Hilarious? Probably! If only there was enough points to cram in Cassian crew to use Arvel as a guided missile.

Nvm, I figured it out.

Jake explicitly allows a focus action to an ally, doesn't say they need to have it on their action bar.
