Brobots or Numb Dash?

By Jturn314, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I'm in a league that does weekly themes. This week's theme is ordnance- you must have a cannon on at least one ship, and you must have at least one missile/torp/bomb in your build, and all secondaries may be shot twice before discarded. There are also bonus points for things like destroying the entire squad of your opponent with nothing but secondaries/ordnance, evading all shots from your opponent's secondaries/ordnance, etc. I have a couple builds in mind, but I'm not quite sure which direction to go, and would like some input.

Brobots-

B and C(50 each, identical)

IG-2000

PTL

Mangler

Accuracy Corrector

Autothrusters

Seismic Charges

I basically have the seismic charges there just to cover the requirements, and I'll use the manglers pretty exclusively to go for the all secondary damage bonuses. My largest hesitation with this squad is that I've never flown the aggressor, and I don't have a lot of experience flying two large bases together.

Numb Dash-

Dash(54)

Outrider

Predator

Mangler

Lando

Experimental Interface

Numb(45)

Outmaneuver

Fire control system

Mangler

Protorps

Munitions Failsafe

I love flying Dash, and I've never tried him built like this, but I flew Lando on Chewie last week and really liked him, and now I can get focus+Lando every turn. Seems fun. Numb, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about here. Numb+Mangler is mean, protorps have to be there to satisfy the requirements, but I still feel like something is off with him.. Should I change outmaneuver to predator and up the FCS to accuracy corrector? Push the limit maybe? I dunno...

Thanks in advance for your input.

Well, firstly, Captain Jonus is overpowered in that stipulaton.

How many Bombers you got?

Jonus and a TIE Advanced /w prockets comes to mind. Maybe a defender /w prockets and HLC. 2 uses of prockets with Jonus re-rolls is dumb.

Adv Sensors is better than Acc Corrector on PTL Brobots

I currently have zero bombers lol. I'm definitely a rebel guy, followed closely by scum, then imperial sits a far and away third.

So just do the three chain action before movement? Is that really that much better than a minimum four hits every single turn?

With Ten Numb I tend to run VI and the Mangler... FCS is nice if I have the points, but the other ordnance seems a bit of a point sink to me at least... But whatever works :-)...

Accuracy Corrector and the Mangler... Has it been changed? I was under the impression that if you use the AC, it gets you 2 Hits that cannot be altered to Crits, so I never put them together... The Adv Sensors on the Aggressor works well with so much Green on the dial... I like the Sensor Jammer and Elusiveness (with Adv Sensors) on them as well to either Barrel Roll (not many see that coming), then do a Green to clear the Stress or just be obnoxiously difficult to hit with C's ability and Auto Thrusters... Again, whatever works :-)

on numb dash did you mean experimental interface or Engine upgrade?

Exp. Interface is what I meant, thanks for the catch.

What about Nera? 2 chances with a torpedo outside of your firing arc?

Yeah I thought about that, but I like the auto crit a little more I think. Also, the extra pilot skill is nice.
