The best Yuuzhan Vong squads usually revolve around either boosting a few Uniques such as Tsavong Lah Warrior Elite and Shedao Shai with the Eighth Cortex Shaper and other shapers/commanders, or giving Blast Bug to a swarm of non-Unique Warriors e.g. Domain Lah Warriors. In the past pairing Nom Anor and Yuuzhan Vong or Fringe characters with Stealth, giving them super-stealth and Self-Destruct 20, has also been a strong combo.
Some squads:"The Unforce Five""Shadow Bugs""Cutting the Corde""Pure BB NPE""A higher caste of warrior"ATTA/RoS newcomers:Charat Kraal, Wing Commander is the brand new toy for the YV pilot subfaction, though 2 of the abilities he hands out (Speed 8 and Evade via Squad Maneuver) are ones that pilots can already access more cheaply from the Klatooinian Captain. He also gives Death-Dealer to Unique pilots, encouraging you to bring a few of them along.
The Shamed Pilot is a new option to spam with the Yorik-Et Squad Leader, 2 points cheaper than the Yorik-et Pilot and coming with melee defense and instead of the Yorik-et Pilot's shooter defense. It probably won't supplant the Yorik-et Pilot, but you may run one or more in a pilot squad since they also provide door control. It can also play in a Shamed One squad, though it's less attractive there.
