Talk:Swarm Leader/@comment-30277232-20170104130755/@comment-27666888-20170107134356

I'd almost swap Swarm Leader to Pure Sabacc and give Echo Expertise, then drop ACD in favour of the Particle Accelerator. The Accelerator is normally the inferior choice, but seeing as it gives evade as a free action, and Expertise renders the focus needless for attack, you'll always be able to use it for defence while feeding it to the Swarm Leader. With the (now) five points, you could swap Recon Specialist for Gunner.

This variation is not going to be quite the sledgehammer that Echo in your build will be, but if you can keep the admittedly flimsy Phantom alive, I feel like it will be more consistent. Sabacc, drawing evade tokens from Echo and Duchess, is still quite the hammer, at least for a little while.
