Objectively Rebellious: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | January 31st, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

If you do not have the ship to ship power to defeat the Empire, you go for the strategic advantage. Join Jyn Erso in her rebellious strike!

This build will focus on a quick and deadly ship that will be able to score big on the objective game in Armada. The Hammerhead Torpedo Corvette is small and quick enough to be an expendable objective scoring ship. A new upgrade will ensure that you get the most bang for your buck with this tiny package.

Jyn Erso enters the Armada universe as a Weapons Team/ Offensive Upgrade card that has serious points grabbing potential. When you reveal a command, you may discard a squadron token and Jyn to choose 1 enemy ship at close range. It gains 2 raid tokens of your choice and if that ship has an objective token, you may also gain 1 victory token. So first off, raid tokens are negative effect tokens that disable commands on a ship. If a ship is given a Navigate raid token, that ship will be unable to perform a Navigate command. This can already be crippling by itself, but Jyn gives out 2 at a time! 

After closing in with your prey and slamming them with some raid tokens from Jyn, blow your External Racks and give them a salvo of black dice! 3 black dice, 1 red, and 1 blue is a powerful little punch from this scrappy ship.

To add insult to injury, finish up your barrage of pain with a ram from Garel’s Honor. This will give your target ship a faceup damage card when you overlap them instead of a facedown. Just remember, Rebellions are built on wrecking the Empire!
