I'm still going with my plan of building each of my squads around a randomly selected piece that i've never played before. This week's random piece is Darth Vader, SOTJ. This is my thrown together at 4AM squad built around him. Feel free to tear it to shreds. I might even do that myself after getting some sleep and looking at it again since besides Cade I had ideas using Emporer Palpatine, Jango, or Boba Merc. Lobot's preferred reinforcements will be Lando, DS since where I play 6 activations will be enough for Lando to get Oppritunist in most games. I'll also bring 6 Ugs in case I face a swarm and/or Dodonna/Ozzel/San squad. Against a squad centered around a single high defense beatstick I'll bring in a pair of Jawa Scouts to give Cade some spotter action. I'm also open to other suggests for possible Lobot additions.
61 Cade Skywalker, Bounty Hunter
55 Darth Vader, Scourge of the Jedi
27 Lobot
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2
I would tend to shy away from Cade in the squad for two reasons. The first is his lack of accurate. The second is the fact that you will have a melee beat on point or running interference who, even with his dark armour, you really cannot avoid splashing. I am planning on using the exact same build with Boba BH. I am not 100% sold on the damage output though. It is a good thing that Vader is some threat from range and cannot really be ignored or bypassed.
Another reason I like Boba over Cade in this squad is that he is harder to tie down and keep based. You do not want Cade based at the best of time but you certainly do not want it in a squad with only two damage dealers.
