Paragon should be Salvo enabled?

By sasska, in Star Wars: Armada Off-Topic

The title describes my question pretty well. Do you think Paragon should be re-worded to work on a Salvo attack? This title now is basically "useless". I'm sure there are guys who play it witg success, but this addition would be nice in my opinion.

You need to Reverse Priority. Don't go First.

Salvo First

Then your Standard attacks will be Paragon-Enabled against the Ship you Salvo'd.

@cadetvw pointed out a really weird and cool build on his blog that makes use of the MKII A's excellent rear arc to deliver serious punishment to anything that shoots and gets double arced.

How you get that is an important question, of course.

This is the key. The AF is tanky enough to take the hit usually which will then power up Paragon for it’s shots later in the round. I’ve got a couple games in and I’m finishing up writing on my Paragon Salvo build. Best I’ve managed to do is Block someone in with a follow-on double arc. 5 points for two black dice is pretty good. Especially if they’re the Most Wanted target for another two.
