What do you guys think is the strongest build in each faction? The game's getting pretty big in terms of what works so it's kind of a judgement call. This is what I'd play at a tournament tomorrow for each faction:
Old Republic:http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/120536/sandv-old-republic is still a classic, Spanish Inquisition with Revan:
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/130788/spanish-inquisitionSithThe Revan, Caedus, Ommin, Vergere build is popular in New Zealand, and it's certainly interesting with 10 point gambit. It's difficult to flush Ommin out of Gambit.
RepublicI think Naboo Troopers are probably their best build, although they have lots of options.
Separatistshttp://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/139980/durges-commandos with Durge, CDOs, Sniper/Spotter, and Poggles is doing well in New Zealand (12-2 this season, I think).
RebelsI love the
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/146853/playing-jax-olin-the-time build, but I think spamming Tantives is probably the way to go, maybe with Han Rebel General.
ImperialThere's a lot of choice here - I don't know about Snowtroopers with the errata, but I think Thrawn, Daala with Elite Scout Troopers, and Daala with Raxus are all options. But I'd probably go with
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/139645/daala-in-her-prime-v2-0MandalorianI guess the GenCon 2014 champion probably wins this -
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/142941/movin-mandos-2014-gencon-champion - but
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/141994/a-little-bit-of-------blues-guitar is nasty too.
FringeBoba plus Talon is really strong - he's such a big top of the round threat. We've seen the deepstrike of
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/147158/embolical-karrde---frostycon-ny-regional-2015-winner and the flexibility of
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/135949/running-interference both do well recently.
New Republichttp://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/126362/lukes-heroes is my favourite, I think, but it's very close with Solo Charge - and they're both similar with the big NR elements of Disruptive, Ganner, Dodonna, and a big double/twin attacker. Luke GH and Anakin Solo are quite different types of cleanup pieces though - Anakin nukes while Luke is great at polishing off lingering Jedi.
Yuuzhan VongI think squads like
http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/141581/first-wave are incredibly nasty against most things, even if they struggle against strafe etc.
