"Build your own wave 5 Kath Scarlet" thread!

Let me start, if you please, with the VERY cost efficient Lone Wolf + Recon Specialist Kath, focused in dealing a regular amount of damage and surviving like a boss!

Also thought about a Markmanship + Gunner adding EI for some 1 vs 1 shenanigans with a double MMS shot thanks to gunner and hopefully stressing, and an evade or focus for defense depending on how many bad guys are shooting us.

To the thinkatorium! :D

I will break the rules and go with Wave 6 since this list idea always makes me laugh (I'm weird I know...)

Scum Kath + VI + Outlaw Tech: 41 points

Add in some flankers.

Through VI you get to set up late. Put Kath directly in front of the enemy. Go slow with Kath on first round. Next turn do a Koiogran (get focus from outlaw tech) straight up in front of your enemy. With a little luck you are now R1 from your first target and get 5 dice +F through aux firing arc. With your flanker(s) and high PS you might be able to crush the opposition before they can retaliate. If you fail your Koiogran by bumping you at least deny shots from the one(s) you are touching and still fire 4 dice +F (Outlaw Tech is not an action).

I call it 'Kaths Derriere' and I it works really well in my mind :D

I would play

Scum Kath + Outmaneuver and possibly Engine Upgrade

Z95 Mini-swarm.

Fly aggressively with Kath, right at the enemy formation, with the swarm tailing her at about 5 or 6 ship bases behind.

They can K-Turn to face Kath, or face the mini-swarm and let Kath hit them with 4 or 5 dice attacks.

Inst autoblaster really good on Kath

Given that you can only cancel crits with defence dice and her ability causes stress if you cancel a crit?

Scum Kath - with Opportunist and K4 Security Droid

Empire Kath - with Expert Handling and Mara Jade

I'd go up to No Disintegrations Boba or down to Krassis. Wave 2 Kath just ain't worth it.

Wave 6 Kath is a god.

I like scum kath with predator, HLC, and recon specialist. 4 attack dice minimum all ranges and firing arcs, predator and one focus to have a good chance at getting all 4 hits, and a backup focus for defense.
