I am heading to my first tournament this weekend since Scum has came out and have not had the chance to playtest against any of it.

Any tips for what I should be expecting?

I would really love to see some gameplay videos but everything I am finding on youtube are just unboxings.

I guess it's going to depend in part on what you are going to be flying and how you intend to fly it

Starvipers are kinda like interceptors. Scyks are like big spendy tie fighters. A lot of the other ships are pretty similar to their rebel/imperial counterparts with some upgrade/card text differences. A big change is y-wings with BTL-A4s will pump out damage. Treat it like a b-wing and you'll be fine, though.

The real beast of S&V that is unlike anything else in-game is the ig-2000s. They have a forward facing arc, but with the right upgrades, can catch you by surprise if you aren't aware of its capabilities. Look up game replays with that ship, as you will probably see a couple in a tourney setting.

Check out the Battle Reports sub-forum. It's got written and videos.

BTL-A4 Y-wings will pump out a lot of damage out the front. They are more brutal than you would think.

Kath Scarlet with Engine Upgrade will move and boost past you. It's unexpected if you haven't played against it.

If you stress IG-88, he doesn't do as well.

You will see Soontir Fel w/ Autothrusters.

Kavil the Y-wing can dish out 4 red dice Blaster turrets w/ TL.
