StarViper versus Aggressor

By USCGrad90, in X-Wing

I think Guri can somewhat operate as a 2-ship ace, just without the pilot skill. You can fly them with ATs and an EPT, but they can also work when fully loaded with Systems, Illicit, and a torp too. A list of super-Guri and a loaded large ship might not be that bad.

Has anyone actually spent money on 4 Vipers? I can see 4 PS1s being a menace. Or even 3 of the PS3s with upgrades or a filler ship.

Both named pilots are amazing. Xizor is less awesome now that TLTs exist (negate his ability) but I am sure I could kit him out differently, like with sensor jammer, for a good effect. I love flying them and if I had two jammers I would fly both.

why does TLT negate his ability?

Xizor can't shunt off TLT hits.

Honestly my problem with it is that it's a premium fighter with no aces that strike me as particularly premium.

TLT doesn't use the dice results to do damage. And his ability triggers after it has been determined to be a hit or not. He can't pawn off the damage.

ok. so he generally dies first pass vs 4y TLT. ****. he might save a few hits with AT and age, but he's gone turn two at best, unless you fly him super defensively. I thought he could still distribute the damage but i can see how the wording doesn't support that idea.

3 Agility and Autothrusters means it is a bit unlikely that he will die in one pass from 4 TLTs.

only if you do a dumb and fly him into range of every TLT

play it well, limit the amount of shots coming onto him, let your opponent choose between him or the swarm of angry Zees threatening to tear their Ys apart...
