What's your favorite Troll list?

By DraconPyrothayan, in X-Wing

Y'know, that one where people look at you with that confused look on your face when you tell them the list, and then you actually destroy them 'cause they don't know how to deal with you?

My favorite is running 3 Outer Rim Smugglers with Anti-Pursuit Lasers, Intelligence Agents, and Navigators.

  1. I get in front of you.
  2. You ram into me.
  3. You roll for damage against yourself
  4. I may change the speed of my maneuver based on what I see on yours
  5. Goto "1."

Meanwhile, I still get my actions and attack your friends with a 360 turret, albiet one with only 2 dice.

You... don't get to turn to attack my fellow Falcons, or get actions, and damage yourself every other turn (on average).

Nowhere near competitive if folks know how to fly against it, but fun as hell to play. Highlight was seeing that their next move, in an attempt to get out from under me, flew off the board the following turn, so I just got out of the way :D

I wish I had the creativity to come up with real troll lists :(

closest I've come are just pilots no one in my local group has ever touched, mostly the Delta (ion or flechette) and the Sigma squadrons (Int agent + FCS + Stygium accelerator, *******!), just running rampant because no one has had to counter them before

let me tell you, they're both right pains in the asses. The Defender just goes "nananan you can't joust with me" and the Sigma has infuriated people on several occasions by being possibly the most obnoxious blocker this side of the force

There is another player in the area who one upped me though, with the ******* Wild Space Fringer

2 Fringers w/HLC & Intelligence Agent

FCS Blue Squadron

dat barrel roll, man...dat barrel roll

I am partial to a Triple Defender list (Okay SemiTrolling, I do enjoy flying it and do pretty well with it) 18 HP with 3 agility is a tough nut to crack and those white K-turns really start to annoy people because they can't really do a lot about them

Autoblaster Dash with navigator and VI homing

Kracken clusters hull upgrade VI

Tala homing

Its not great, but when it goes off... Navigator itself seems like the definition of a troll upgrade.

  • Lando

Determination + C-3P0

  • Leebo

Determination HLC+Outrider Hull Upgrade and sabatour

Deploy them facing each other so that they don't move. Lando will do a green 1 and give lebo an action each turn to either focus or saboteur when they get within range 1.

Folks hate this list :P

Best troll i see? Oicunn + anti pursuit lasers + mara jade + tactician + rebel capitive When you ram - hit, when someone rammed you - possibly hit, then stress to everyone in range 1, 1 stres in range 2, and 1 stress when you hit ;] And you have 45 pts (i must see exacly) for everything you want in that list :) And gues what... when you ram and oponnent stay at you in his move... you inflict another hit ;]

Captain Jonus — TIE Bomber 22

Push the Limit 3

Ion Pulse Missiles 3

Scimitar Squadron Pilot — TIE Bomber 16

Ion Pulse Missiles 3

Cluster Missiles 4

Scimitar Squadron Pilot — TIE Bomber 16

Cluster Missiles 4

Cluster Missiles 4

Scimitar Squadron Pilot — TIE Bomber 16

Cluster Missiles 4

Cluster Missiles 4

-99pts

Nera Dantels with Advanced Proton Torpedos.

Three Z-95's with ion missiles.

Once a target is stunned I know exactly where it's going to be next turn. (hopefully running over an asteroid)

Then Nera sidles up and kicks an almost guaranteed five hits out the side door.

How does Lando give an action if he does not move (and doesn't execute a maneuver)?

His pilot ability

His pilot ability

He still executes the maneuver, regardless of overlaps.

Is very competitive (or has been before autoceptors)

2x Gold w/ Ion cannon and R2 astromech

2x Blue w/ Ion - 1 with FCS

His pilot ability

That ability requires Lando to execute a maneuver, so as I see it, he cannot give another pilot a free action if he bumps another ship and does not finish the maneuver. And if I understand Marinealver correctly, the idea is that Lando does not move.

Being bumped doesn't change what maneuver your performed.

6 prototype A-wings (5 with autothrusters) and you take focus for every action but you play wolf pack keep away with your squad.

4 green squadron with chardan, PTL, auto thruster, test pilot and predator

only one thing I don't quite understand - how does 'you don't get to attack my fellow falcons' work? I understand that you can't declare as a target any ship you are overlapping / touching but no attack at all is only in the case of asteroids / rubbage - right?

Eaden Vrill + Dash Rendar Crew + Tactical Jammer

Outer Rim Smuggler + Leia Organa + Tactical Jammer

Biggs Darklighter + R2F2 + Experimental Interface

Put Biggs right inbetween the two big ships and just fly straight. Every turn go straight until you get to the end. Then burn leia and have everyone do a K-turn. and keep going straight.

If going straight will end you on a rock, put Vrill in that position.

Biggs will be getting 3-5 Evade dice with focus every turn until he goes down.

I said "you don't get to TURN to attack my fellow falcons".

That is to say, your movements will be substantially reduced by me blocking you, and you therefore cannot maneuver to attack a second ship.

ah....yeah...English is my first language :\

Biggs w/ R2-F2 & Stealth Device

Airen Cracken w/ Squad Leader

Kyle Katarn w/ Autoblaster Turret, Jans Ors

Roark Garnet w/ Autoblaster Turret

98 pts.

Everyone gives Biggs all of the evades and focuses. Lulz ensue.

Carnor and Kagi with rebel captive. You don't get to focus, you can only TL the ship that gives you stress.

I do like "My Name is Jonus" list of 4 Tie Bombers loaded with ordnance. If you don't know what it does, it really messes with you. Those that I practice against take it apart.

I am going to try out an Autoblaster Dash this Thursday.
