I have played 4 games now with the bad batch and Lord Maul and man he feels great in their list. He gives them 3 force and rarely has to use it himself. I have won all 4 of my game with that list.
Really enjoyed this video, I’m really new to the game but have signed up to a local league to get to grips with the rules. I’m wanting to run Bad Batch and Hondo, no idea how well it will go but we shall see!
I have played only about 4 games with Bad Batch. I always take Hunter, Wrecker/Omega and Echo/Tech. I was varying the other squad contents. I found for me the most effective combination is: Hunter, Wrecker/Omega, Echo/Tech Obi-Wan/Rex/ARFs ARFs are always effective even if I run down 1 SP. I tried Plo but he is limited in what he can push. I like the mobility given by Rex over the damage of Crosshair for taking objectives. I did not use Vader Jedi Hunter but I know he will be good too.
He still gets those befits with the wolfpack support(but not wolffe actually if you took him as the secondary instead of crosshair). That's honestly still pretty good synagies.
Very interesting build strategy. I do something similar if I am more I love with the Secondary and Supports. I'll pick the leader last that works with what I have already built. Fun video!
Tried Master Plo with the Bad Batch and got tripped up by Tech and Echo not being Troopers and losing a ton of movement. Definitely a Feels Bad, Batch. Vader is really just everywhere. Undoubtedly a solid choice especially if you are going for melee aggression from Hunter and the Wolf Pack. Think his Hatred ability is nuts. Should only get its full effect when used with Inquisitorius tag, 2 damage for 2 bonus dice for non-Inquisitors or something like that but hey. He and Obi-wan are the kings of gamewide buffs so I guess it is what it is. Speaking of Obi-wan, he still has a place I think, even when Rex's Get A Move On isnt around. The Bad Batch have a ton of movement to offer and great action economy for damage, this list can use an action to Take Cover if they are the ones having to move up and they wont be fussed. The Bad batch have literally half a dozen bonus movements conveniently available to them: Going to Them, Striking Distance, Enhanced Tracker (+ a 3 Expertise Dash to fish for with Leader of the Batch on his Huntsman stance if you need it), Find the Shot, Bulldoze (+ a 2 Strike Dash in Boom! to cover ground). What they struggle with is Echo and Tech being blown up early and then not having any Condition removal as they death spiral. Obi-wan solves that. He lets you reserve them with confidence, he lets you put them back into the deck, he can Heal units, and basically gives Tech and Echo +2 Defence and +1 Attack die permanently, even if nothing else got there in time.
Isn't plo koon espacially calling for troopers? Bad batch characters are all "clone troopers" and i am to believe that plo koon doesn't work with em Arf clone troopers have both tags "trooper" and "clone trooper" for example

Who's the support on Maul? I might have to try. So far, Obi, as 2nd Primary has done well with all those Hunker Tokens

I can’t wait to run the Bad Batch. I picked them up last week along with the Mandalorian and Moff Gideon.
looks like we need to wait another 3-4 weeks for Mando 8(
Great Vid mate. anymore like these for squad building would be great
That opening was so extra. I love it!
thanks, although I cant take credit - one of our community members put it together for me. You can find him here: joel-morales.com/
Bad batch everywhere!! Such great characters, tho i do think Anakin is worth a shout if you swap out wrecker or crosshairs for rex.👌
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Trooper tag and Clone Trooper rage are different, meaning Plo can’t help the BB with his abilities
you are indeed correct - I had just overlooked this. He can still move them and give them his expertise, its just Plo won't get the follow up move!

I want these guys, just don;t want to add to my pile of shame just yet

I'm going to run TBB with Crosshair and then Windu's squad. Get Mace and Hunter in peoples faces.
I think this could really work - no real need for Omega/Wrecker when you have Mace's bubble!
Nice Token opening!
Star Wars week is a great idea!
I'm surprised no grand inquistor recommend thought he work well with echo and tech to take objective.
Not for me, overall I really don't like GI, and (in my opinion), there are way better choices for putting with BB
I have been telling you about Wolffe ever since your livestreamed game, im telling you he is very spicy
Isn't plo koon espacially calling for troopers?
Bad batch characters are all "clone troopers" and i am to believe that plo koon doesn't work with em
Arf clone troopers have both tags "trooper" and "clone trooper" for example
Yep, I realised this once another viewer pointed it out - still think he works well though...
Plo Koon would be my choice too, as I do love the synagies. But also because he is one of my favourite masters. Screw Anakin 😅 whiney sand boy.
You had the wrong combat tree card for the wolf pack, you put up the card for the clone commandos
DOH!
