You should try pairing Guri and Xizor together with Serrisu.

With the right upgrades on each ship it is a lethal list.....

Even with some bad luck, I took down this list the other day with:

Xizor, VI, Virago, FCS, Dampeners, Autothrusters

Drea, ICT, PT, R4-B11

2x Pirate, Feedback Arrays

Drea's turret got blown off thanks to the first damage card to her hull (and I thought Serissu with a Mangler was a waste...), but I killed enemy Xizor and Serissu pretty easily. Guri proved to be a big pain in the arse, as she had a Stealth Device of all things and refused to roll any blanks on green dice. I usually had ships within R1 to block her escape or use their Feedback Arrays, and with the free focus she soaked numerous 4-hit barrages from Xizor without losing her Stealth Device. Almost Feedback Arrayed her to death with her Stealth Device intact, but she killed the last Z-95 and Xizor eventually nailed her at range 2 after using his Dampeners to allow some distance between us.

Guri is good, but I still think the IG-88s have her number. PS6 and IG-88B for the second shot after they inevitably miss with the first... and Manglers will shred her hull too.

Xizor, VI, Virago, FCS, Dampeners, Autothrusters

What is PT?

Proton Torpedos I think.

eww no

Xizor's ability is ******* bananas. It might as well read "as long as there's a friendly ship in range 1, never get shot ever":

Build him up for offense (either predator & sensors, or V.I & FCS), toss on thrusters, and fly him like a madman

OK, you've single-handedly convinced me to break Xizor out and fling him in somebody's unsuspecting face. The number of Prince-related puns for squad names is just a bonus.

What, like, "the squad formerly known as 'Prince walks the Headhunters?'"

I know a local player here is an absolute stickler for the correct pronunciation of his name, so we endeavor to pronounce "xizor" differently every time we reference him

Chi-zor

Que-zor

Si-zor

Xy-zor...

can't even remember how we're supposed to say his name

My friends anal about that too I deliberately say it wrong to wind him up.

Proton Torpedos I think.

Oh Snap! I forgot those were even a thing.

They aren't horrible on Drea, and actually border on viable. You can use her ability to grab another TL to modify the attack. With the mini-focus you get, getting 3-4 hits is quite likely.
