50 Darth Vader, Champion of the Sith
33 Arica

22 Governor Tarkin
11 Admiral Ozzel
10 Jagged Fel
06 Ugnaught x2
08 Mas Amedda

The goal of the squad should be fairly obvious. End of round, swap Arica into position for Opportunist Blaster Barrage. Start of new round, do it again with Cunning Attack. Vader can boost one of those attacks to an additional +4/+10.

Vader has triple, Thrawn and Fel have double. Jarael is +14 for a total of 60 damage, and one attack per round at +18 for an additional 10.

I would think that Nyna or a Storm Commando would be better than Tarkin in a build like this.

And as far as it goes for a GOWK counter...Sniper helps keep things like Ugnaughts fouling up Arica's shots, but you'll still have to deal with GOWK's SSM. Now, if you were running the old Thrawn, maybe I could see it as more of a counter.

Arica is just too weak, IMO. She won't do that much damage against GOWK or a JWM, and a single Tow Cable could be enough to give you trouble. What would you be planning to use for Swap fodder here? Whatever you swap in is going to get pummeled. Maybe Vader would survive 2 rounds, but I doubt Jarael would, and definitely none of the commanders would.

Arica only costs 31, Boris.

@Lobo - Shouldn't be a problem once GOWK is gone. Of course that means she isn't much of a counter .
