Total:150, 8 Activations. Mara Jade, Jedi (45) Aurra Sing (37) Jacen Solo (25) Princess Leia (20) Gen. Dodonna (9) Wicket (8) Uggsx2 (6)
The basic premise behind this squad is the same as any type of cannon squad, but with a few tweaks. I felt Gen. Wedge was better not in the build (although he'd be the first in at 200) at you'll be using Mara to get up close and in their face, and I think it's better to have the points for a back up shooter (i.e. Aurra) than to get the mobile/evade. Mara can use her stealth to get close (big problem for those non-accurate IG86 droids, and once you're close enough you can dice them in seconds) and well, the other big player at 150 is Yobuck, and being able to evade him doesn't matter (and seeing as Rex is non-accurate, stealth should protect you again), it just means you have to position more carefully.
The ability to kill Yobuck if he's within 18 squares (seeing as against most of the yobuck builds I've seen posted, I should out-activate) and I win init makes a huge difference, as there's no chance for him to run away and then run back in and finish my pieces off now.
The idea is to snipe with the stealthed Mara, and advance mostly as a group, using Leia with Aurra early on for some nice 40dmg hits against jedi. Once in range (probably around the gambit area) Mara can potentially do 200 damage against an unactivated opponent, or the usual 120 to one person, and then stick 60 on their secondary big piece. Yup, suck on that Han, I can kill Bane in one go. Although abit more fragile than the Han cannon, it should be able to contend with the new republic cannon squads, and I reckon could give alot of 150 squads a run for their money. Jacen isn't a half-bad back up fighter, especially if Leia takes a hit, as he can do 40 by himself, and then get a Leia boost for another 50. Finally, there's the none-too-small problem of Aurra.
Wicket helps against the big defence droid types, although i'm tempted to drop him and an ugg for a human bodyguard for Leia, what do you reckon?
Anyways, thoughts? Should be fun, even if it's not top tier. I'm mostly concerned about the fact that it's a bit fragile (but then I guess that's where the glass cannon term comes from.)
I've never made a cannon squad before, so any help would be appreciated in improving this/telling me whether you think it will work at all.
