The Fireball has prompted me to start Resistance as a new faction and I'm having a lot of fun with them. I know this list is only one card away from being Hyperspace legal, and I do have a version with Optics on Bastian and R4 and Heroic on Cova, but it's the Extended version I'm more excited by because of the double mod on Kaz from M9-G8.

Cova locks Kaz on Turn 1 to give him the re-roll. Kaz repairs his damage. Kaz and Zizi light 'em up. Bastian plods along getting his locks. Eventually the opponent works out that Cova is the priority target and Leia ends up floating in space, but by that point Kaz has serially white talon rolled or Bastian white K-turned to a position of advantage.

Kaz with 3 greens and 3 reds is a beast. I only Slam to arc dodge. Zizi does not die. It seems to work. I've had some success with it, but usually against four or fewer ships. Since the Extended meta is something of an unknown quantity at the moment I have no idea what to expect. There's room for a couple more Heroics but I prefer the small bid.

What do you think?

Floating in Space

(38) Cova Nell [Resistance Transport]
(7) M9-G8
(17) Leia Organa
Points: 62

(40) Zizi Tlo [RZ-2 A-wing]
(1) Heroic
(4) Advanced Optics
Points: 45

(40) Kazuda Xiono [Fireball]
(4) R5 Astromech

I've been running this with r4 on cova and ASLAM on Kaz, it's been great

How's Advanced SLAM working out for you? Are you using it to get focus once in position to take a shot? What else does it enable?

Focusing when you have a clean shot, and barrel rolling when you need to get out of arc or set up next turns move, are my main adv slam uses.
