Dodge this!

By CheapCreep, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Here's a list Im playing with but I really don't know what to put it with? The idea, make intimidation useful. I think in Guri with Enhanced scopes, it's best. Her movement plus the BR/boost option makes her amazing at bumping while also getting focus for an attack on the opponent ship you did not bump.

Whoever she bumped now has 1 less agility. If it's a TLT Y? Awesome, free shots. If it's Soontir? Great, 2-3 dice only now. So I thought, what the hell, add Latt and take another defence away if it's a higher than 1 agility target. Add mangler on her as well as a mangler scyk and you have two snipers that can make that low defence target have a very bad day.

However. With many 1 agility members of lists out there currently, is Latts really the best option? Should I go for pure power and get 3 Cartels (2 with glitter) and lay on some damage that way? Or should I go for something more like a turret? I'd like the idea of some mist hunters in this list possibly with their near being ability.

Help me out.

Guri — StarViper 30

Virago 1

Ship Total: 36

Latts Razzi — YV-666 33

Cartel Spacer — M3-A Interceptor 14

"Mangler" Cannon 4

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon)

The problem here is that you've taken a heavy hitting Ace like Guri and relegated her to the role of 'blocker'. And at 36 pts, that's a really expensive blocker, and all to put your opponent at -1 agility. I feel its a waste of Guri's....prodigious talents. For the same cost you could've got 3 binayre pirates to do essentially the same thing (although not needing all three to block at once, so more focus fire potential) and you'd have better durability and better firepower overall (although no -1 agility for your target).

I would take the Tasarii Point Vet with Intimidate and give Guri Advanced Sensors, Advanced Proton Torps and Auto Thrusters. Latts is nice but you still have a huge ship that can be used for target practice with ease. Another problem with the Hounds Tooth is its easy to ion it off the board with a Punisher with Ion Pulse Missles and Extra Munitions. It has happened to me almost every time I have ran it. You would be better off using a IG-88 instead of Latts.

Well, its only easy to ion a large ship off the board if you go near the edge or the corners. Keep your big ships pointed towards the middle! :P
