What to do with Guri??

By darkevans, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I'm pretty high on Guri right now. Load with VI, Virago, FCS, Adv. Proton Torpedo, stealth/shield/AT, INertial Dampeners. My question is what do I pair with it. I tried two 1 vipers with stealth tonight and did ok. But I think there is something better out there. I like Guri's EPA and with FCS if you get a range one it's also guaranteed 5 hits!

going from PS 5 to 7 isn't worth your elite pilot talent upgrade. take her with predator. you won't be disappointed

Imo, of the two named pilots Guri is the only one I feel comfortable not running Virago with

Predator + Thrusters seems to make a strong, relatively cheap elite ship (Same cost as base Corran Horn)

I like using Push The Limit with her to arc dodge into range 1.

I've been rolling this lately.

Guri worked well with Bodyguard Elite Pilot Skill with Price Xizor who had Expose. Fly them together and use the Bodyguard to counter the agility minus from the Expose. But I would try out also Fire Control System and also Opportunist and take Kaa'to Leechos or Palob Godalhin to steal evade and/or focus tokens. I had good experience with two Opportunist pilots and Kaa'to and Palob, very effective setup for causing damage for enempy fleet.

I have been having success with Guri kitted out like this;

Guri, Virago, VI, Inertial Dampeners, Autothrusters, Accuracy Corrector (38)

Here's a list that Paul Heaver put together. I'll be trying it out soon.

Guri - PTL, Virago, Autothrusters, Inertial Dampeners, Advanced Sensors

3x Cartel Spacers - Heavy Skyk, Mangler Cannon

I know it's Paul and all, but I don't see how PTL will hold up will and, in my experience, it does not (tried it on Xizor, anyway)

The Star Viper draws a lot of comparison to the Interceptor for its action-bar, but its dial is most reminiscent of a B-wing with an E-wing's greens but no option for the R2 astromech. Limiting yourself to those greens hurts especially when you deny yourself the full range of speed 1 & 2 maneuvers the Viper is capable of pulling.

That is why I would personally always opt for Predator or LW on Guri, and either Predator or V.I on Xizor

It's one of Paul's test lists I'm guessing.

my Guri list:

Guri

-Predator

-Autothrusters

IG-88B

-Expert Handling

-Mangler Cannon

-Fire Control

-Autothrusters

N'dru Suhlak

-Lone Wolf

Adv proton torps are a waste of points and they paint a big fat red target on Guri's forehead. Five guaranteed hits is tempting, but ultimately not worth it.

Personally ran

Guri (predator, thrusters)

Mux (recon, blaster, crow)

3 pirates

Guri is the mistress of the hairball. Even without advanced sensors, her ability and predator give her essentially fully modified attacks and Mux helps her murder anything that would have been able to retaliate.
