Using R2 to force-taunt (or whatever it's called) SThan could work on offense. Here are my concerns with that:
- The foresight allows STH to dodge. You want him to get hit to feed TM.
- You can't control who R2 chooses on defense (AI). That is, unless someone has figured it out.
I like AA lead. But in the long run, it's very difficult to justify giving all that speed and TM to a guy who can't do as much damage and/or debuff enemy like Wiggs, Lando, Boba, etc.
Yes, SThan will die. That's how it works. He takes hits, speeds up your team, then team does massive burst damage. And that's the trick -- you gotta seize that window of extra TM speed and do as much damage as possible.
Wedge lead will grant self-heals to Rebels & an extra 45-75 speed to Wiggs, which replaces AA in every way. OP didn't ask about Wiggs, kinda figured they already know at this point.
And yes, TFP &/or B2 can shut you down. But look around your leaderboard and pick opponents wisely.
