he's one of my favorite pieces in the game! A fun combo is pairing him with Naga Sadow, Sith Lord who can use Sith Battle Meditation to give Caedus extra attack. That makes it so Caedus can use Aing Tii Flow walk to essentially triple cunning someone and then if you won init, he can do it all again. Sith Battle Manipulation is one of the most powerful force powers in the game i think. You can group people together and set up allies to really pull of some powerful turns.
I disagree as well, caedus is definitely not underwhelming. a great flavourful piece, enough power without being broken. embrace of pain makes him great with cognus too.
I made a few squads with him and Barriss Offee: http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/Search?Restrict=false&Name=Dance+of+Death&Creator=&Faction=&Set=&Type=&Points=&MyRating=
funny squad if u play casually gets completely outactivated by most WOTC only squads han with opportunist and leia still hits them sometimes and their lack of accurate means u have to shoot at mice uggnaughts etc. Looses against most if not all thrawn swap lists anything lancer/yobuck could maybe work against rebel cannon squads on a evry small amount of maps
the nice thing with the loader here is his HP is sooooo high that it will get up to you and it will knock you apart lol... haha heavy weapon just doesn't matter anymore haha.

so the droids get +8 attack, +10 damage, +4 defense, double and twin, and an additional +4 +10 if the opponent hasn't activated. great tempo control (technically 2 acts over but who rly cares), sadly the droids have cunning and not opportunist, but imagine if it was opportunist thatd be insane! obv not much defense but great offense so solid squad 8/10
Phow works really well here. I played similar merc/crimson squads when the Solo pieces first released, but it was hard to hit some of the more expensive targets even with talons CE. Close quarters will help with that. phow should have some great survival with teras kasi, dodge, evade, crime lord, defensive stance, and difficult target. Then he gets to triple for up to 50 damage a shot.
Obi gets GMA, precision, mettle, and renewal. Once shmi drops, ami can deal 100 damage unpreventable. Both ani and obi can get extra attacks from padme. One of them gets a ls form.
I love it! Haven't fiddled much with these, but I always thought the T1s would rock with GGDAC. I really like the commando droid addition. The great part is that the T1 has enough tankyness to get to an enemy and probably deliver massive blows! The only thing I might do is sacrifice one of the commander such as the super battle droid commander for more mouse droids and fodder (though giving careful shot is quite clever on these).
I assume you're going non-vset. But with the Vset you can give the goats cyborg. That opens them up to droid abilities/CEs that grant double attack. Since only a nat 20 dusts the enemy, the more roles the better. I think double + twin = about 17% chance of rolling a 20.
Asajj is useless... Disintegration is only on nat 20, not on a crit. What would be useful is a Palps on Throne and Thrawn for Swaps, with a Czerka (or, in rebels, the Specforce Tech for Jolt and Twin).
What's more intimidating than your opponent defeating the best piece in the game before initiative is even rolled? This is a mind game and most opponents will choke up and start making tactical mistakes immediately after. 11/10
Why is Kneessaa included? If you just leave her out, then you get to start killing the enemy fodder one round earlier. That seems more valuable than a first round door opener and the slim chance of out-activating the opponent in the first round.
