Hello i need some advise.

I want to try xizor and i had an idea of a xizor thats hard to kill but a big thread when the last ship on the table:

Xizor w/ lone wolf, virago, sensor jammer and autothrusters 40 pts

Z95 12pts

2x ywing with ion turret and title 23pts

What do you think?

a second idea would be to swap in palob for taking away the focus so xizor gets even tankier.

any thoughts?

After some debates and first-hand trials, I run the following list with Xizor :

Prince Xizor — StarViper Veteran Instincts Advanced Sensors Inertial Dampeners Autothrusters Virago / Ship Total: 39

Palob Godalhi — HWK-290 Determination Autoblaster Turret Recon Specialist Inertial Dampeners Stealth Device / Ship Total: 30

Binayre Pirate — Z-95 Headhunter Stealth Device / Ship Total: 15

Binayre Pirate — Z-95 Headhunter Stealth Device / Ship Total: 15

Total Squadron : 99

Stealth Devices are suprizingly efficients in keeping the Z-95 and the Hwk-290 alive longer, and in more than a pair of games the Binayres have been the most efficient killers in the squadron.

Alternatively if you're facing some swarms on a regular basis, you can remove Inertial Dampeners on either Palob or Xizor and upgrade the Binayres in Black Sun Soldiers. Not only it's more fluff, but it makes them shoot before the Academy and Bandit pilots. Not a revolution, but it helps sometimes...

I ran: Xizor + VI + Virago title + FCS + Dampeners + Thrusters

5x Pirate (PS1 Z95)

To top 16 in the UK Nationals, it's a lot of fun to fly and a lot of dice to throw!

Also if you only have 2 Most wanted consider Xizor as above but 4x PS3 Z95 with Feedback arrays.

I have tried Xizor as above + 3Z and a Y-wing with ion and title, but the Y-wing more often than not dies first or second round of combat and I don't get my points worth out of it.

Xizor doesn't really want lone wolf, because he doesn't like being by himself. He's quite the extrovert that way. VI + FCS or predator + advanced sensors are good. Palob + sensor jammer Works better when using Guri, because no one is going to shoot at Xizor while Palob is alive (although they might shoot at Guri if you are aggressive with her but Palob is close enough to steal focus). But you could still run Sensor Jammer without Palob, since Sensor Jammer is pretty good in the end game.

As to your list, I think 2 y-wings and 1 z-95 along with Xizor is not bad. Its not as strong as 5 z-95's, but as previously mentioned, you will lose one of your y-wings fairly quick and there's not much you can do about that except hope your remaining ships can do some serious damage. To help with that, I would suggest taking lots of offensive oriented upgrades to maximize your damage.

Xizor w/ VI, title, FCS, inertial dampeners & autothrusters = 38

2 BLT-A4 y-wings w/ ICT & R4 agromechs = 25 x 2

Binayre Pirate = 12

You could drop the inertial dampeners for an initiative bid if you want. Those extra target locks will really help you squeeze as much damage early on as you can since this list is really playing an attrition game to give Xizor as favourable an endgame as possible (when all of your other ships are inevitably dead).

Ok thanks for your feedback a played around with the squad builder and came up with this now. 5 zs are not an option i have just 2 most wanted packs:

Xizor w/vi, thrusters, virago, sensor jammer

3xz95

Palob with ion turret.

Palob and sensor jammer are synergizing really well and the ion cannon adds a little control. Palob will be the major target and has his stolen fokus to defend himself. I think this can work and is really fun.

Thing is, sensor jammer is not actually synergizing with Palob because no one will shoot at Xizor until Palob is dead, so I don't think its as useful on Xizor. If you take Guri, then its a different story and I would suggest doing so in this list.

Also, Palob really, really needs Moldy Crow title at minimum to get best use out of his ability. Oh, and then he does quite well with a blaster turret, so that's worth considering...

Thank you too blade mercurial this is good advice i think i will try this too. It will be my first starviper game so i want to try a few things☺

Xizor with AT, title, FCS. (or trade AT for torpedo's)

Z95 x2.

M3A interceptor with mangler cannon x2.

Super fun list and if played right hits very hard. You have to play the prince rather aggressively though.
