Hey guys! I've asked this around a few places now, but I figured I'd give it a shot here as well. I play team games once a week and I've been wanting to incorporate autoblaster into my rotation. I've got a friend who constantly fields "Whisper" combined with a few other cards that allow him to throw between 4-5 defense die, combined with his de-cloak boost and loop, the only thing I've seen been able to take him down is autoblaster as it can't be defended. With that in mind, I've created a few builds below built around this mechanic.

Option 1: 2 x Y-wing - Syndicate thug (18) + Autoblaster turret(2) + R4 Agromech (2) + Bomb Loadout (0) + Proximity Mine (3) for a total of 50 points.

or

Options 2: 2 x M3-A - Cartel spacer (14) + “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2) + Shield Upgrade (4) + Autoblaster (5) for a total of 50 points.

The Y-wings seem a lot more durable, but the autoblaster only gets two dice instead of three. The M3-A seems a lot more fragile up front, but it's also a lot more maneuverable and it's agility is much higher. Would you recommend one over the other? Any changes you'd make to one or the other? Is the M3-A worth fielding, or does it just get shredded? Are there any other 50 pt. Scum squads that you'd suggest?

take one of each

as in 1 m3+1 ywing

problem solved!!! (lol)

then if you end up liking one more then the other, switch to double of that one

For 2 Y's, I might take this:

I like that idea! Might as well field both and see which one does more damage.

For 2 Y's, I might take this:

Syndicate Thug (18)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Unhinged Astromech (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Syndicate Thug (18)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Unhinged Astromech (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Another nasty 50 points of Autoblaster is:

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autoblaster (5)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

I fly a 50 pt. Kath on the regular, but I haven't had the chance to roll out Boba yet. I'll take a look and maybe field him to. Thanks for the idea!

BTL is a poor choice for Phantom-hunting Autoblasters. Not only do you have to keep the Phantom in arc, you have to do it at range 1. The Scyks face the same challenge.

If you wanna hunt Whisper with VI Boba, a flechette cannon might be better than the Autoblaster. Frees up the points for a crew member, too.

He never said phantom hunting?

He never said phantom hunting?

The first post says he has to fly against Whisper on the regular.

I see it now, Sorry for myvslight stupidity

If your hunting whisper good luck in doing it with range one weapons.

You'd be better off with the PS bid.

Corran with advanced sensors and VI comes to mind as a good choice.
