Wonder how that Rebel Commander will play out. A long needed attack and damage boost for the rebel troopers... but they're still so squishy and fold against kybuck. I guess the idea is to run this guy with Leia Hoth and maybe the troops can stay for a few saves.

Tantives might be able to kill Yobuck on Heroic Stand shots. If they can hit...

That priestess is pretty sweet, goes well with the shamed one sub faction and also nice boost to Onimi

Enfys Nest is amazing. Might get old Hondo onto the table. Enfys + Hondo + Talon + Weequay Pirates will give you a horde of board-clearing scrubs. They still won't hit much, but they don't need to when they're shooting everything every turn.
Not sure how you'd build around this, but Hondo + Aurra + Enfys would be cool too.
EDIT: Actually, you don't even need Hondo if you go with Corellian Pirates. They're squishy, but all of the pirates are. Nikto Pirates are also a nice pick for the lower cost. instead of the Weequay if you don't need as much damage.

Holy Spoilers Batman! That's quite the set! I obviously don't know enough about Rianna Saren. That's quite the piece. I like the Suppressive Fire hate  Oh, and Twi'lek ability! Are we getting ready for a new subfaction? That Ezra is awesome. I see how Fixed Odds negates Shien abuse, I understand the need for it, and I still hate it. But still a solid piece. Concussion Rifle? YES PLEASE. Gizor Dellso is cool. I just love the fact that he showed up almost 15 years after his one appearance. That new ability on Aphra... ha. Haha. Hahahaha. That's just too good. Can we get Camaraderie to give that to Han Solo?

Oh, wait a minute. The Sith Sentinel Droid might have an error: Quote:Poison Gas 20 [Replaces attacks: Enemies within 3 squares take 20 damage; save 11] Shouldn't that be living enemies?

Cradossk is exactly what the Bounty Hunters needed!
Gizor is a real surprise! So cool to see a direct boost to the classic droid swarm, unfortunately doesn't help other commanders against Bastilla but hey disruptive and distraction can at least take a hike. Between this guy and last set's Grievous I think it's time to bring Battle Droids back again.
But my final bit, Rianna Saren and Zeeo! Yes!!! For a decade I've been waiting for this piece! And very cool in the Rebel faction being able to get GMA and Evade fairly easily. Also showcasing the droid tech of their combo too. Mercenary finally became a good thing, and being able to pump up Kyle Katarn is awesome! Dryden Vos and Tobias Beckett would be a cool pair up for them both. And the CE is icing on the cake to deal with the Morrigan over-usage so awesome there too!
78 is hefty and puts her currently as the highest cost non-epic shooter in the game, but rightfully so as she can put out some major damage and be a solid squad base when combined with Lando Infiltrator.
When is this set out again? Looking at running our Canadian regional at the end of March.

I assume you are talking about "stay on target", that does seem like some pretty strong anti swap hate if I am reading how it works correctly. Also strong against a lot of other movement breakers as well, but at 27 points I don't think APhra will be an auto include in most separatist builds.

Bumped for more discussion? Are you wanting more critique on the set or more positive reinforcement
