Putting wave one and wave two together.

In most of the threads I've been apart of, I noticed a debate about what combos are good combos to run using wave 1 and wave 2 cards.  I don't want to start another thread that becomes a shouting match but rather a list of card combos or combo breakers that you have tried with the new cards. So here are some of my ideas I am running. 

Combos:

Biggs with R2F2 and a stealth ddevice 

Lando with a gunner and marksmanship

dark curse with stealth ddevice 

wedge with expose. 

Green squadron A-wing pilot with dead eye and homing missile 

luke with r2D2 and shield upgrade. 

Mauler with boost

Just some of the combos I've been playing.

I've been considering a 3 A-wing, 2 Ioned Y-wing combination.  No names, no upgrades just a max Rebel ship list.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I had some success cutting out the middleman on Wedge - Push the Limit, R2F2.  Gives a good bit of flexibility for offence and defense.

I would extend the Gunner + Marksmanship combo particularly to Kath Scarlet, who benefits a great deal from the increased incidence of critical hits as well as from the opportunity to attack again even if all her hits and crits are canceled.
 
Other combos of Wave 1 and Wave 2 content I like include:
  • Maarek + Push the Limit + Concussion Missile
  • Horton + Ion Cannon + Engine Upgrade
  • Luke + R2 Astromech + Elusiveness

Don't forget about Black Squadron TIEs with Draw Their Fire. Cheapest bodyguard in the game. They are not for every squad, but they do have their uses in certain squads.

Engine Upgrade and Daredevil are a fun combo for Vader. Not the best, but fun.

try replacing Daredevil with Push The Limit 

 

EDIT: you could use both boost and daredevil right? i mean, they seem to be seperate actions and all, unlike the whole roll vs expert handling thing

Yep, you can use both. 1 bank, Boost 1 bank, then Daredevil is a quick way for Vader to turn around and attack anyone who is tailing him. Plus with PS9, he'll likely attack before the person behind him. Like i said, not the best, but fun. :)

Are you sure? To me this seem like a repetition of the Expert handling discussion. I think the consensus was that Darth couldn't do two barrel rolls in a row. Why should Daredevil differ?

 

On the other hand, there is nothing that keeps Darth from doing a Barrel roll and Boost in sequence. That would be fun.

I know it's over the top stupid, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't going to try out Luke + R2-F2 + Stealth Device at least once. sonreir

Sure you can. Daredevil isn't a boost action. It is a red manuver.

Guess you could be right. Though I see a discussion coming when wave 2 is released.

I will be too, but I'll also be adding either push the limits or elusive to that combo.  

That's it man, game over man, game over!
