Luminara trio

Right. I was thinking about ARCs and their two dice, Y-wings have less use for an extra reroll. Thought one black die with two rerolls is kind of funny... 😎

@Pakinlead @KaptajnBlodpolse I've thought about this and made some updates. I do see your point about the Salvos; maybe I won’t get to use them multiple times per turn if I have 8 squads. On the other hand, 4 of them have Heavy. I’ll have to put it on the table sometime and see. I would expect the Venator to get shot multiple times (by ships or squads) since it's so many points.

Faction: Galactic Republic Commander: Luminara Unduli Points: 396/400

Assault Objective: Precision Strike Defense Objective: Asteroid Tactics Navigation Objective: Infested Fields

[ flagship ] Venator II-class Star Destroyer (100 points) - Luminara Unduli ( 25 points) - Tranquility ( 3 points) - Skilled First Officer ( 1 points) - Local Fire Control ( 4 points) - Flak Guns ( 3 points) - Thermal Shields ( 5 points) - DBY-827 Heavy Turbolaser ( 3 points) - Ordnance Pods ( 3 points) = 147 total ship cost

Consular-class Armed Cruiser (37 points) - Swift Return ( 3 points) - Clone Navigation Officer ( 4 points) - External Racks ( 4 points) = 48 total ship cost

Acclamator I-class Assault Ship (66 points) - Nevoota Bee ( 5 points) - Adi Gallia ( 3 points) - Flight Controllers ( 6 points) - Boosted Comms ( 4 points) = 84 total ship cost

1 Axe ( 17 points) 1 Anakin Skywalker ( 19 points) 1 Kickback ( 16 points) 1 V-19 Torrent Squadron ( 12 points) 3 BLT-B Y-wing Squadrons ( 30 points) 1 Ahsoka Tano ( 23 points) = 117 total squadron cost

And here’s a very different, squadless Luminara build. Also Salvo-heavy but leans into IF! and Consulars. Faction: Galactic Republic Commander: Luminara Unduli Points: 398/400

Assault Objective: Surprise Attack Defense Objective: Asteroid Tactics Navigation Objective: Solar Corona

Consular-class Charger C70 (45 points) = 45 total ship cost

Consular-class Charger C70 (45 points) = 45 total ship cost

Consular-class Charger C70 (45 points) - Radiant VII ( 1 points) - Munitions Resupply ( 3 points) = 49 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Venator II-class Star Destroyer (100 points) - Luminara Unduli ( 25 points) - Tranquility ( 3 points) - Skilled First Officer ( 1 points) - Local Fire Control ( 4 points) - Flak Guns ( 3 points) - Thermal Shields ( 5 points) - DBY-827 Heavy Turbolaser ( 3 points) - Ordnance Pods ( 3 points) = 147 total ship cost

Venator I-class Star Destroyer (90 points) - Adi Gallia ( 3 points) - Local Fire Control ( 4 points) - Flak Guns ( 3 points) - DBY-827 Heavy Turbolaser ( 3 points) - Ordnance Pods ( 3 points) - Intensify Firepower! ( 6 points) = 112 total ship cost

= 0 total squadron cost

I've been trying to figure out how to build a similar Luminara squadrons list (and just Luminara lists in general, since she seems good but I cannot figure her out for the life of me :P ), so this thread's given me a lot to think about.

@Bertie Wooster I like your squadron layout and will have to adjust mine accordingly. Part of my concern with Lumi and heavy squads is that the traditional GAR setup of generic V19s and Plo (or other Delta-7b aces) seems counterintuitive because the Jedi likely won't spend their tokens behind the tokenless Escort squads. However, Axe and/or Kickback is a pretty elegant solution to this that I didn't consider, so thank you!! It does also mean that Plo's value goes down unless he's flying support for your Y-Wings, however.

I do agree with @KaptajnBlodpolse about the Venator to a point. If the GAR is bringing heavy squads, odds are the chain-Salvo Venator won't be able to Salvo squadrons that often. I think keeping it a Salvo gunship could work out well and am prepared to eat my hat, but I would think the Salvo Venator would be only able to brutalize enemy ships (bear in mind I have zero experience flying the Venator). Maybe the Acc should be getting some heavier squadron support like Flight Controllers to more quickly clear out enemy squads if the Venator will stay a Salvo ship.

@Bertie Wooster About taking Advanced Gunnery. In my opinion, your opponent stands to gain a lot more from AdvGun than your fleet would, since GAR ship fronts are a little lackluster. Is it so you can double-flak? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

Yeah, I was trying to double down on the Luminara/Thermal combo but maybe Boosted on Nevoota Bee is more important. I can fit more squads with defense tokens that way too.

Good point about the DBY. Was thinking of the double blue Ven-I.

About command range, I think it's Nevoota Bee that really needs it, and you can't get it on a Acc-II. 🤔

@Sabelkatten The Venator II has black/blue AA, so I can guarantee at least a black hit/crit when salvoing squads. DBY is really useful against squadrons when you can keep refreshing the Salvos.

@KaptajnBlodpolse

My hope is that flak, salvo and Ordnance Pods will help wipe out the enemy squads in addition to my own squads' attacks. Then turn to bombing. That's the theory anyway. But perhaps Boosted Comms over Flak Guns would make sense.

@Bertie I'm not really sure how your fleet wants to be flown, I think that you should either focus on squadrons or salvo, as I think that those two want different upgrades to be put on your ships.

Not sure if DBY lasers will be very useful. I figure you're most likely to multi-salvo against squads, so the auto-crit won't help.🤔 Might want to try to squeeze in one more ace to leverage Lumi as well.

I'm consider trying to run all my Republic ships in one fleet with Lumi in command. Still working on the exact build, this is my current iteration:

Venator I (90) • Luminara Unduli (25) • Skilled First Officer (1) • Intensify Firepower! (6) • Quad Battery Turrets (5) • Tranquility (3) = 130 Points

Acclamator II (71) • Adi GAllia (3) • Thermal Shields (5) • Assault Proton Torpedoes (4) • Swivel-Mount Batteries (8) = 91 Points

Pelta Transport Frigate (45) • Auxiliary Shields Team (3) • Munitions Resupply (3) • Reactive Gunnery (4) = 55 Points

Consular Charger C70 (45) • Radiant VII (1) • Parts Resupply (3) = 49 Points

Consular Armed Cruiser (37) • Medical Team (1) • External Racks (4) = 42 Points

Squadrons: • Axe (17) • Kickback (16) = 33 Points

Total Points: 400

Obviously kind of starved for points with all those ships... Might have to drop the APT/SMB combo on the Acclamator.
