Deadly At Any Angle: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | July 31st, 2019 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

Assault Frigate

The only medium sized ship for the Rebels in Armada can be deadly at any angle! Come and find out what makes this build interestingly efficient at battle.

Assault Frigate Mark II A

The Assault Frigate is the lone medium class ship in the Rebel fleet. It is most often used as a broadside platform for its large and strong battery armaments. 3 red and 1 blue make up the left and right arcs, and 2 red 1 blue in the front and rear respectively. With one key upgrade, every battery armament can be the same!

Spinal Armament

Spinal Armament is a turbolaser upgrade that adds 1 red die to the front and rear arcs of your ship. With this equipped, each firing arc of the Assault Frigate will be 3 red and 1 blue.  This makes every battery arc of the Assault Frigate equally deadly!Veteran Gunners

Since this build will not be focused on broadsides, Gunnery Teams as a weapon team is out. Veteran Gunners can give you a re-roll on your attacks. While attacking, exhaust Veteran Gunners to re-roll all dice in your attack pool. This can give you more consistent hits when the red dice are fickle.

Reinforced Blast Doors

To give the Assault Frigate a defensive boost, equip Reinforced Blast Doors. With 6 hull on board, the Assault Frigate is pretty beefy, but with 3 extra hull, this medium sized Rebel ship won’t go down without a fight!
