Scum ships that synergize with Kath

By bmwrider, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This is the Kath I like so far

FIRESPRAY-31: · Kath Scarlet (38)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Engine Upgrade (4)

What would work best with her?

My first thought is

M3-A INTERCEPTOR: · Laetin A'Shera (18)

Stealth Device (3)

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2)

"Mangler" Cannon (4)

M3-A INTERCEPTOR: Cartel Spacer (14)

Stealth Device (3)

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2)

"Mangler" Cannon (4)

I think 2 M3As would be a little light. Kath is a monster you want to keep here alive by adding blockers and defense.

When Scum was previewed, 'Scarlet Thief' was posted here:https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/132590-scarlet-thief/

Palo and Z's are great escort.

There are lots of variant possibilities.

I like this list:

Kath: opportunist, K4

Palob: expert handling, ion

2x M3A or 2x Z's

Ive been running kath along side the b variant of the aggressor. I give the agressor lone wolf and the two manage to keep a pretty good distance

2 ion scyks and 1 Z could work with that Kath.

I have a similar Kath build that makes her stronger against the large ship meta in my area. Here, it's almost all 2-3 ship builds.

Kath Scarlet (Scum) — Firespray-31 38

Lone Wolf 2

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Gunner 5

Inertial Dampeners 1

Engine Upgrade 4

Cartel Spacer — M3-A Interceptor 14

"Mangler" Cannon 4

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) 2

Cartel Spacer — M3-A Interceptor 14

"Mangler" Cannon 4

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon)

And the other is more resilient.

Kath Scarlet (Scum) — Firespray-31 38

Predator 3

"Mangler" Cannon 4

Recon Specialist 3

Inertial Dampeners 1

Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18

Ion Cannon Turret 5

R4 Agromech 2

BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0

Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18

Ion Cannon Turret 5

R4 Agromech 2

BTL-A4 Y-Wing

I planned out a list with Kath, 2 Binayre Pirates, and a hired thug in a warthog Y wing

I have been enjoying great success with Starvipers paired with Kath. I call my list Kath's Cross:

Kath+Predator+K4 (You could also exchange Predator for Expert Handling or Lone Wolf)

2x Black Sun Enforcer+Autothrusters

The following forum topic talks about a few lists and maneuvers with Kath:

https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/137397-the-scarlet-cross-with-pictures/?hl=%20kath

I advise against a cannon on Kath. It puts too many points into a single ship. When Kath is flying with equal threats it becomes harder for your opponent to focus fire on her without serious losses.

Thanks! love your ideas

I also run Kath the IG-88B and it has proven very powerful, against a variety of builds and I've taken 2nd in 2 tourneys with it.
