Coordinate Synergies
- Squad Leader restricts the action choice, meaning you could choose a Talent+Crew ship with limited and relatively rare/boring action choices so that Hondo's coordinate doesn't benefit the target ship much. (Examples include a ship with calculate instead of focus, or something boring with just focus and barrel roll)
- Nodin Chavdri lets you get a free action even while mildly stressed, so adding Hondo lets you get free actions on Nodin while you use Hondo's ability on allies or enemies.
- Probably something interesting with Major Stridan out there, possibly with some third card.
-
Epic ships have abilities that alter coordination:
- Toryn Farr grants your coordinated buddy a lock if you already have one.
-
Oooh
Suppressor
is evil, allowing you to jam an enemy ship at range 0-2 of the friendly ship you coordinated.
- Interesting that this card specifies coordinating a friendly ship, showing FFG was thinking ahead about coordinating enemy ships someday.
- Probably something else I missed.
Jam Synergies
- Static Discharge Vanes on your jammed ally can pass that jam onto an enemy ship nearby.
- ISB Slicer can prevent removing the jam tokens at end of round.
- Major Vermeil benefits from jamming an enemy ship in the same way he benefits from equipping Darth Vader -- he likes targets without their green tokens. He could, in fact, equip both so the average target post-jam won't have a green token to discard to avoid Vader's damage, and then Vermeil gets his dice mod on top of that. Similar but weaker deal for Captain Feroph 's defense (and with only one die it's not as good as Vermeil).
- Petty Officer Thannison (Crew) can double the jam tokens on the target, in case you need to jam more than one token/lock (and you have them in arc).
- Probably more...
Suggestions are welcome. However, take this reminder that anything that triggers on a Coordinate Action or Jam Action doesn't synergize with Hondo, nor does anything that deals with changing the range or target of the coordinate/jam.
