Favourite aggressor builds

By slimeball, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My post in the main forum wasnt especially helpful, so i thought i would post here, how do people like to equip them? Which EPT are your favourites on this ship and what would be your maximum investment.

imo sensor jammer is a must with Twin Laser Turrets threatening to dominate the meta.

IG-88B (36)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Autothrusters (2)

IG-88C (36)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Autothrusters (2)

Total: 98

Still 2 points for Determination or Inertial Dampeners or Crackshot or...

Or you could go with:

IG-88B (36)
Predator (3)
Sensor Jammer (4)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
Autothrusters (2)

IG-88C (36)
Predator (3)
Sensor Jammer (4)

both great lists.

predator is probably the right call with the thug swarms appearing.

Probably ... but I still like the idea of 4 red dice every time! :D

Wired is gold on a non advanced sensors IG. It plays nice with inertial dampers as well.

Difficult to fly, but if they get to do their thing they will bring pain upon anything. Haven't tried them against the new TLT-threat, but a bit of Range 3 focus fire should do the trick.

I never even thought of push the limit, its dial is so green that it seems like it might be a good idea.

The way i last fielded it was

Mangler cannon

Marksmanship

Experimental interface

Hot shot blaster

Advanced sensors

I found it was an excellent way of gettinf plenty of crits.

Before moving use evade then use EI to trigger marksmanship, then green move to clear stress and attack.

Push the limit seems another good way of getting the extra action but loses the 'super focus' of marksmanship. It does however open up autothrusters which is great for a ship like the aggressor.

Here is the build I most recently ran. In my local meta, Veteran Instincts is a must. I chose Glitterstim as a bit of insurance in case I found myself facing several shots in a single round. I found Autothrusters and high pilot skill with boost to be good enough against TLT. Mangler was particularly effective because my other ship was PS10 Boba. He would fire first and strip shields, then the Mangler to get the crits through.

IG-88B (47)

- Veteran Instincts

- Fire Control Systems

- Mangler Cannon

- Glitterstim

- Autothrusters

I made it to top 8 in the Spanish National with:

IG88 B & C

Mangler cannon
Sensor Jammer

Predator

Inertial dampeners

Autothrusters

But I think I have discovered a monster with the following dual agressor list:

IG88 B & C

Heavy Laser Cannon

Fire Control System

Crackshot
Glitterism
Autothrusters

Those are absurdly lethal, and also can pretty much obliterate a Soontir Fel or Vader that happens to be in arc. I'm rapidly falling in love. They can also just delete an enemy ship quick and fight against a decimated squad for the rest of the game.
