I've been having a lot of fun with this list on fly casual at the moment. The Eta 2 was made for Autoblasters, especially with marksmanship, r7 and barriss, I've found kenobi can easily get about 4 crits a round if everything lines up.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (Eta-2) (49)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (3)
R7-A7 (3)

Aayla Secura (51)
Marksmanship (1)
Autoblasters (3)

Barriss Offee (38)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (3)

Jedi Knight (37)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (2)

Total: 191

I find that flying Barriss and the jedi as sacrificial lambs, flying straight at the opponent, with the Eta-2's flanking with their speed.

I wish you could get Yoda in to resupply Bariss for more crits, but it's dead on 200 and I feel a bid is a little necessary for such fragile aces. But I love the idea of 3 autoblaster eta's with a lot of crit generation.

Oh, nice use of Bariss! His ability is good for something afterall.

I dont understand why you just dont pay 5pts and go with Anakin ETA. He will always move after opponents initiative 5's So no need to worry about a 9pt bid for your 5s.

Agreed, I think Ani is the better ETA2 to run that combo with. The ability is awesome too for k-turning behind something, dumping stress, then boosting or br’ing to line up bullseye or R1.

This is as close as I can get...

I find my Actis literally taking cards every time it is shot at.

If this isn't moving last and able to dodge arcs, it won't last more than 1-2 encounters.

That's why PS 5-6 is a must I feel.

I've lost Anakin's 1st 2 hull through a cloud at range 3 the last 2 games

I used to play Fenn a lot and I feel your pain. The worst of it was when I lost him in one round to two range 3 shots from Torrents. 8 blanks and an evade, took 2 hits and a crit, it was a direct....

With the ETA I find the soft force mods so beneficial that with an evade you can be crazy tanky.

But as you say, you can’t be more tanky than not being shot at.
