HIEs could be 8 damage. Going first? Add in the blank to the attack roll with no worries by running a Screed fleet. It's probably too many points to invest on a 4 hull ship with a niche game play option, but wow would that surprise your opponent or what lol.

Hav been flying two raiders with them along side Tarkin in Soverneing Cymoon with IF.<br /><br />They can fit really nicely in a gunline type fleet. You fly them speed 1-2 get that long range 3 die shot off with the Dcaps and con fire. Then you just up your speed with the token tarkin gives them to them fly into close range. That way they act as mini kittens for a turn. Its usually always 3 damage and that is amount where using defense tokens becomes a difficult choice, knowing that there is a bigger shot coming later (in this case an ISD) <br /><br />As such I would only recommend the upgrade with Tarkin, Thrawn, and Ozzie. A commander that can give them that speed change effect so they can dial in that con fire command and still be able to hump in from long to close. So if you are running one of those three commanders, I would recommend that you add it to your raider. whokickmydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601656453549343298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-49935938858603781962020-12-14T23:23:14.625-06:002020-12-14T23:23:14.625-06:00I've actually given it a lot of consideration ...I've actually given it a lot of consideration but I always find when I get to the end of building a fleet I just can't justify the 3 points there instead of elsewhere.

They are excellent Squadron Deterrent, (They rarely get to shoot much at Squadrons with a good opponent, but they limit the space the Squads can move in.) <br /><br />I have found that when using them, you have to be at peace with the fact that 1 or 2 of them will die. They are cheap enough, that you can still win a 10-1 victory even with them dying. So as long as you trade efficiently, they are very useful.
