I played my first game with Celeste Morne in an Imperial swap squad last night. I find her interesting for squad building, so I wanted to ask you all about what you'd been running with her. I think Weeks bought up when Celeste was spoiled that his favorite use for Celeste Morne was an Imperial swap squad, and I can definitely see how the access to activation control and swap help her.

I think she's interesting, because she's both a reasonably big beat stick and she has the ability to turn scrubs into Rakghouls. She has really good damage output - if you swap her in and have Opportunist, she's doing 3 * 40 @ +21 against enemies with force ratings - although she isn't particularly strong defensively. Because she has quite two distinct facets to how she plays, working out the other attacker(s) to run with her is interesting.

Last night I tried running her with Vader Scourge, lots of activations, and Ozzel, (and no Pallaeon). I liked it, but the lack of a shooter was a problem in the matchup, and I was playing against a weird squad from a newer player where there were no little scrubs to turn into Rakghouls easily and lots of big jedi with riposte. I won narrowly, despite having complete control over doors, activations, and initiative.

I see Segastorm has made a squad with Arica that looks good - http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/106218/luke--- I really like Rukh in there, but I don't necessarily like Arica as the shooter with Celeste Morne. I'm thinking that Celeste's Rakghouls should be able to take care of the scrubs, and that I'd rather have a shooter who can pile damage on one piece so that Celeste can finish it off by turning it into a Rakghoul. But Arica would help in the otherwise difficult matchups like Vong and Seperatists.

So I'm thinking about next time running Dash and Jagged Fel with Celeste Morne. It seems redundant running Dash in Imperial with Mitt'Thrawn, since you're paying for Opportunist twice, but he also seems like the best piece to cover off what Celeste is lacking.

What have other people been running with Celeste Morne in Imperial?

That's one of the first combos that came to mind when I saw her stats. Can't wait to try it!
