alright with all the tournaments coming up (Gen con, Regionals) and all of our leagues preparation, i am just wondering which 200 point squad looks best. i AM open to Critique on any of them, but keep in mind on all of these, i do not own Dash , Or Cad Bane, so neither can be used. I have done well with all of these 9, and i know that this is alot at once. Thank you In advance for all your Help, Please post here which one you think would do best.and thank you for your patience.
Super Clones
Accurate Stealthers
Vader's 501st
Super antarians 2
GOWK quads
Where are they all coming from?
Super antarians
I strafe you
B3 at its best

and to be honest this is my first poll ( at least that i remeber) so i am not spamming this. THank you again and feel free to comment on the squad and rate them honestly. I understand if i get low ratingbut please give reasoning.

I like the Super Antarians and the Lancer squad. The lancer is cool but there are more characters with Djem So Style out there and self destruct can be a problem.

Is GOWK legal?

Yes, GOWK is legal, per the latest DCI Floor Rules. His Soresu Style Mastery ability has been changed (just for DCI games) to only work on non-Melee attacks.

As for the OPs squads....I left comment on some of them. To be honest, if I played any of those squads at a Regional I wouldn't expect to do better than 2-3, and even then, probably only if I was lucky. Many of those squads are utilizing old or under-powered pieces that really don't have any place in today's meta game.

You have some good ideas, and you've identified the good synergies (like Prince Xizor and Stealth pieces), but now you need to take the next leap and compare those things to the current meta. Perhaps the meta in your area is a bit different, but honestly, Accurate Shot, in particular, is not nearly as important as it used to be, and especially not worth spending 40 points just for that. In addition, most squads are all about doing a high amount of damage in a very short amount of time. Your Antarian squads are honestly the best ones you have up there, and yet, they have so little damage output. They will get massacred by solid Rebel/NR builds, simply because they will Evade half or more of the shots you take each round. Sure, the high attack bonus and defense will help, but once an opponent gets on top of you, then you're in trouble.

Or what if they're running Kyle JBM? All he would have to do is get right up next to the Antarians and they'd be smoked. Even GOWK can't do much to Kyle because he'll simply Triple Attack and Riposte back, and GOWK would be quickly dead.

As Rogue Saber said, your Lancer build is probably the best one you've got up there, but you need to lose the 'fluff' pieces. Take out Mar Tuuk and the BD Sniper to start with. Those will both get shot to pieces before they ever get to do anything, especially the Sniper since it has Heavy Weapon. You have to waste a whole turn just getting him into position. You can also drop the Human Bodyguard and the R7, and just run Lobot instead. If you think you really need the Human Bodyguard, then you bring it in as Reinforcements. I don't know how many Mouse Droids you have, but use those to up your activations, and maybe don't worry about using either San or Tuuk. If you don't have Mouse Droids, then just use Battle Droids.

And make sure you include some Ugnaughts. You only have 1 Override piece in almost all of your squads. What happens if you need to blow up a door permanently? The R7 and Lobot are popular pieces in a lot of people's squads right now, but if you use an Ugnaught to blow a key door on the map, then your opponent has a piece that just sits there and does nothing now.

Just some things to think about. ;)

Listen to Lobo you should.

Do you have Argyus? If not, think about picking him up with a handful of Senate Commandos.

alright updated 3 of them .

I Strafe you: replaced Mar tuuk, Battle Droid Sniper, and THe Human bodyguard with San Hill, a BAttle Droid Sergeant, an Ugnaught, and 3 Mouse droids.

Vaders 501st: Replaced OZzel with a 501st legion clone trooper, and an ugnaught.

B3 at it's Best: Replaced battle droid sniper and r7 astromech droid with an ugnaught and a heavy super battle droid.



Let me know if this has made them any better.

Yeah, the BD Sergeant doesn't really make sense in a Lancer squad because 90% of the time, the Lancer will be too far away to get the +10 bonus damage anyways. As Rogue said, the IG-86 is a much better choice overall.

As for the B3 squad....it's just plain bad, honestly. The B3 is so easily killed by many of the pieces in today's game. And you're sort of basing your entire squad around it. For the same 32 points you can run the Lancer instead which is a WAY more competitive option.

Oh, and NEVER drop an R7 for a Heavy Super Battle Droid. The Heavy SBD might do some hurting with that 30 damage, but the measly +3 attack, even when boosted by Grievous and a BDO is still only a +11, and will have trouble hitting most opponents. Again, for 3 points more, you're MUCH better off going with the IG-86, which gets a +17/+21 attack instead, with way better HP and Def as well.

If you're playing a Lancer and your opponent has 6 mouse droids and 4 ugnaughts, though, you should be able to strafe by and kill all 10 of those pretty early. Sure, round 1 you might be outactivated, but you should be able to kill all or almost all of their fodder by round 2, evening up the tempo significantly.
