no EU on a firespray=dead firespray

That looks like a fun list. I really like BTL-A4 Autoblaster Turrets on Y-wings. I like how the Seismic Charge discourages enemies from getting on their 6.

I'm less concerned about Engine Upgrade and more concerned with what you'll do with Emon when he can't drop bombs on people (because the targets aren't there). The Hull Upgrade is nice, but I think you want some added offense.

Also, have you thought about Slave I title instead of Andrasta and using Extra Munitions with Proton Bombs in your bomb slot? You get 10 points of bombs for 7 points. Not too shabby.

Emon prefers prox mines over bombs, that way after you move you can "slingshot" them onto higher PS pilots that have yet to move. His PS is too low to take full advantage of bombs

Hello thank you all for the help. I am getting a test game in tonight and I am going to try out this firespray

Firespray-31: · Emon Azzameen (36)

"Mangler" Cannon

Proximity Mines

Hull Upgrade

· Slave I

Extra Munitions

Drop the cannon and get yourself a K4, if you're using your action for bombs you need something to help your primary attacks

Your avatar picture: I'm afraid it's mostly known for SableGryphon, and it gets confusing.
Please change it.

Similarly, I was once asked to do this when I adopted Mr. Froggies' avatar pic.

I ran a Firespray and 2 BLT-A4 Y-Wings in my first tournament a few months ago with just a few games under my belt. I tried to make the list as simple as I could. I wanted to focus on flying and not have to remember a bunch of actions and abilities. Here was my list..

Boba Fett (50)

- Push the Limit

- Recon Specialist

- Inertial Dampeners

- Engine Upgrade

Syndicate Thug (25)

- Ion Turret

- R4 Agromech

- BTL-A4 Title

Syndicate Thug (25)

- Ion Turret

- R4 Agromech

- BTL-A4 Title

I was very pleased with the list. I did better than I thought with a 3-1 record (one win was a modified win), and finished 4th. The biggest weakness of the list was pilot skill 9+ arch dodgers like Soontir and Han. I would alter the Boba build if I were to play this list again. VI on Boba helps solve the weakness of the old list.

Boba Fett (50)

- Veteran Instincts

- Recon Specialist

- Inertial Dampeners

- Ion Bomb

- Engine Upgrade

Keys to the list: Don't forget Boba's pilot ability, boost into range one, preferably out of arc. Take the focus action with the Y's, fire the primary first, and spend the focus (even if you don't roll any eyeballs) to acquire the target lock for the Ion shot.

I know this is not exactly a critique of the list you presented, but hopefully it helps.

Hello,

So just finished the game and I won. I lost Emon turn before last and a y wing the turn before. This was against a fett/kath list. The Mangler cannon put in some work so I'm going to hang on to that for now and the Emon/slave one with proximity mines helped me control the board. Thanks again for all the help guys.
