Jyn Firing Line

Jyn's Leadership boosts organic ranged units, and five of the six units here qualify, including Pao, Jyn's own Unique. Wookiee Warrior holds the lane, Pao shouts to slow anything that tries to reach your shooters, and the Dressellian Sniper hits turrets from outside their range. Built for 2v2 with a partner who protects your back line, and solid in 1v1 too.

The deck

Leader skill. Sharpshooter: Uses a sniper rifle to deal X% of Attack Power as damage to a distant enemy.
Leadership. Underdog: Jyn Erso's organic ranged units get X% increased attack power.

Era set bonus: Rebel Alliance: 6 of 8 cards, so your turrets take 8% less damage. X values grow with your leader's level and perks.

How it wins

Plant the Wookiee, build a firing line behind him, slow divers with Pao's shout, and let boosted shooters plus the Sniper grind turrets down.

Strengths

  • Five units get Jyn's attack bonus
  • Pao's shout slows enemy organic units and leaders before they reach your line
  • Sniper and Jyn's skill both reach from long range

Weaknesses

  • Tech divers ignore Pao's slow (it only hits organics and leaders)
  • Splash damage on a tight firing line
  • Only one real tank

Game plan

Opening

First minute

  1. Rebel Troopers or Pathfinders first. Don't open with the Sniper.
  2. Use Sharpshooter to chip the enemy leader from range.
  3. Keep Pao for the first time a leader or melee push heads for your line.
Mid game

Win the fights

  1. Wookiee in front, Pathfinders and Troopers behind, Grenadier and Pao in the middle.
  2. When their leader dives, Pao's shout slows them, then C-10 Stun locks them for the focus fire.
  3. Once the lane is quiet, drop the Sniper behind the line to hit the turret.
Late game

2x energy and Sudden Death

  1. 2x energy: refresh the Wookiee as soon as he falls.
  2. In 2v2, ask your partner to anchor the other lane while your line pushes.
  3. Sudden Death: Sniper plus Sharpshooter on the weakest turret.

Matchups

AgainstWhat to do
Melee diversPao's shout plus C-10. In 1v1, swap the Sniper for Talz Marauders.
Splash decksSpread the line wider, and focus their Sandtrooper or Grenadier first.
Droid decksPao can't slow tech. Swap the Grenadier for Rebel Demolitionist.
Air strike decksDon't stack every shooter in one spot.

Swaps: Against droid decks, Rebel Grenadier to Rebel Demolitionist. In 1v1, Dressellian Sniper to Talz Marauders for more cheap defense.

Mistakes to avoid

  1. Playing the Sniper into a contested lane.
  2. Using C-10 on squads when a diver is coming.
  3. Leaving Pao at the very front where he dies before shouting.

Upgrade order

  1. Jyn Erso
  2. Rebel Troopers and Rebel Pathfinders
  3. Pao
  4. Wookiee Warrior and Dressellian Sniper
  5. Rebel Grenadier and C-10 Stun Grenade
