Scum build

By janusgeminus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been working on an effective list for me. I've posted two variations of what I'm using below. They are based on Torkil and the flight of the bugzapper list.

List 1:

StarViper: · Guri (30)

Predator (3)

HWK-290: · Torkil Mux (19)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Z-95 Headhunter: Binayre Pirate (12)

Torkil flies behind the bugzappers and uses his ability to drop the top target PS to 0. Pirates then either shoot or zap, depending on range. I'm finding this combo is very effective. The last time out, I didn't feel Guri's presence in the list, beyond attracting some attention away from the core. Only a zed was lost.

List 2:

HWK-290: · Torkil Mux (19)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Z-95 Headhunter: Black Sun Soldier (13)

Feedback Array (2)

Z-95 Headhunter: Black Sun Soldier (13)

StarViper: Black Sun Vigo (27)

Autothrusters (2)

Same idea as the first list, just everyone at PS 3.

Tactically, my goal is to deploy a block of zeds with Torkil trailing about a 1 behind the central zed. The Starviper, whether that's Guri or the Vigo, will line up at a 45 degree angle on a flank. The goal is to catch targets in a L somewhere around round 3.

I'm not 100% sold on either variation. As mentioned above, the block has performed admirably.

I've never tried the HWK but that definitely seems like a neat idea and is certainly not one I would have thought of.

Guri really wants ATs

You think AT instead of predator. Defense instead of offense?

guri can be a sort of glass cannon. i usually give her both predator and AT

a build that has shown success for me against TLT's is:

guri+title+proton+predator+sensor jammer+AT

kavil+R4+TLT

2Xbanana pirate
