Maris and her Hairy Friend

After seeing the stats for Maris and how low her attack was my first thought was to use her in a squad with Tarful.

49- Maris
26- Tarful
52- JWM (X2)
8- Mas
9- R2-D2 Astromech
6- Ugnaughts (X2)

8 activations. Tarful helps the JWM attack at +16 and Maris can potentially pull off 4 attacks at +13.

Main drawback is lack of range support, but I think it would be fun.

I think that my first thought with her was to abuse her force powers.

I am sorry, I just don't see her working with Tarrful. (Low stats for a melee figure with no protection.)

I like the look, but you should put her with a good shooter. Also she needs a way to abuse those force powers, force spirit or something.

I played Komari Vosa with Tarfful a couple times. Even the +13 is barely enough to do anything on a regular basis. Against other characters in the 50 point range that have 20+ defenses, you end up missing a lot of hits. Of course, Maris has 1 better Defense, and 30 more HP, so she should be able to hang around a bit better than Komari, and the Force Renewal will allow you to be pretty liberal with spending FPs for re-rolls. I think she'll be decent with Tarfful, perhaps in a 200 point squad.

I had a 200pt squad that ran Tarfful, with Depa and 2 JWMs, and did pretty well overall.

I might try her with my Yoda/wook BG squad.

She already has Force Renewal, so all Force Spirit would give her is Mettle, which would be pretty good.

However, with a force battery (Palpy!) she'd do great.

What about Yoda of Dagobah? He's the best force battery out there.

Yeah, something like

1 Maris Brood
1 Yoda of Dagobah
1 Admiral Ackbar
1 C-3PO and R2-D2
1 Lando Calrissian, Dashing Scoundrel
1 Wicket

Might be fun in 150. Use R2-PO as a pseudo-bodyguard with Draw Fire to keep Maris and Wicket alive. Liberal use of Force Stun to activate your opponent, then let Maris and Lando do their things. Probably not competitive but it might be fun to try.

I think Maris might be a good help to Rebel squads, although I would love a ruling on Force Push.

Also, you could use her as a Fodder killer with her force power for a round against swarms.
