What's the highest defense possible these days?
I've got 34:
Ewok Hunter (18)
Cover (4)
Chewbacca and Ewoks in at-st (+4 flat and +4 advantageous cover)
Page or Bren (+4 Squad Cover)

Purgetrooper with Electrohammer:
17 base
Agent Kallus +4
Cover +4
Felucian Ad Cover +4
Vader IC +6
Inquisitor intimidation +2
+2 inbuilt against lightsaber
equals 39.
Alternatively, a couple of Clone Commando Instructors can have 17 base, Forward Commander gives +84 at max, +4 from cover, +4 from Squad Cover (have 2), Inquisitor +2, not a follower so can't get much else = 111. Beat that.

Lowering the attacker's attack rating has the same effect, even though it doesn't really count.
Atris's Force Meditation + a character with Doctrine of Fear kind of equates to +8 of defense.

yeah, and the purgetrooper with electro hammer could make it to 48 if you add admiral motti or someone else with doctrine of fear; Grand admiral Thrawn; and Grodin Tierce's Clone. (yes commander effects stack if they increase stats by different values). Oh and you could also have atris in that squad for 52 defense in the most ideal circumstance.

When 2 CEs grant a flat bonus to attack or defense, you pick the highest. The only way to get multiple bonuses from multiple CEs is if the CEs grant different abilities or powers that provide the additional bonuses

But, also Thrawn and Grodin have a rivalry.

Ah - I stand corrected. New Poe has base 18 defence, +84 from Forward Commander, +4 from BB-8, +4 from Octa Ramis and Tione, +4 from cover for a total of 114 - 3 higher than the Clone Commando Instructor. If adding Huyang to give him a glowstick and Jagged, his attack can be 103 - high enough to hit the Clone Instructor on a roll of 8 or higher, for 30/40dmg.

no love for doctrine of fear and atris? also couldn't you do chief of state mon mothma to give +1 defense for each unique dead enemy, and then another character with a high defense?
