Just to be quick, we all know about Fenn and then 3 zealous recruits now having 9 points left over so a simple move is to throw on fearless on Fenn which leaves 6 points.

My question is.... Advanced proton Torpedoes?

The mirror match isn't a problem as moving first with the recruits imo is almost as good as moving last with Fenn. Boba Fenn is out bidding you anyway. Poe, get a block in with your recruits and he's very fragile so a extra crit is a nice thing to have. Han is the recruits favourite things, a big base to block. Vader... Can't boost so fenns not too bothered about him. The new ba I don't know about.

Idk, what do you think? Is it a no brainer to take the bid as that has a higher potential to have a impact Vs a extra crit? Plus it doesn't work with fearless but then you would just save it when you are not in any arcs so you can spend your focus safely.

I'd probably do Outmaneuver and a 3 point bid, APT's not worth it imo. Overall I don't think the list cares too much about a bid, played quite a bit against FFF recently and it's very solid, with slightly different pros/cons vs the Fenn led version.

Outmaneuver is what Oli Pocknell flew into the top cut at Sith Taker Open. I think realistically, your choices for Fenn are outmaneuver, Fearless, or maybe intimidation if you're feeling really spicy and Fenn keeps getting blocked (I'm not sure if that's a great idea in practice, though). If you're playing extended, crack shot and predator are both great options.

APTs are a pretty bad move on Fenn, because he doesn't have a linked lock action and he really likes having focus to stay alive. Fearless also doesn't work with APTs, meaning that an APT shot from Fenn actually does less expected damage than a primary shot with Fearless and focus.

Yeah I agree with this, the theory would be when regrouping for a round taking a lock then using the torp when you are not in the opponents front arc so fearless wouldn't work.

Outmanouver is probably best value.

greetings fellow Kieran!

making one of them a skull is something I've seen done as well, to get another pocket-ace into the list against mid-initiative things. unsure if that's the best option, but in any scenario I don't see a huge need for a bid in any Fenn list, at least for hyperspace. you've got enough arcs and damage capabilities to deal with Poe and Vader and they're the only real threats that can move after you
