What about replacing glitterstim with a cloak? Or using something like this?
[Guri] Would this work?
That first list looks solid for me. I've always thought Guri made a good platform for APTs.
Depending on your flying style, I might switch out Predator for Lone Wolf. Guri is fragile, and Lone Wolf provides a boost to both offense and defense.
Edited by BowserThe first list is not good, since at that point level you will get more out of an Agressor. As a rule of thumb Guri should never (or very rarely) be more than 40 points. I would make something like this out of it: http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v3!s!120:27,135,-1,-1,118:-1:-1:;122:135,-1,-1,118:-1:-1:;101:57,-1:16:15:U.44,U.108Kavil could also be either Torkil or Palob, still with TLT. Guri can also work with Lone Wolf here.
The second list I like a bit better, but it has some issues. For example Guri has no way to modify dice reliably and doesn't get very much out of VI (although she beats non VI Brobots with it, which makes it a consideration). N'Dru on the other hand is hard to activate (I find Lone Wolf type abilities work best in 2-3 ship builds), so you can drop for a Pirate him to give Guri Predator and Glitterstim.
Thanks for the info, I've actually used an IG with two y wings with some success before coming up with this list. How will the cloaking device and other new cards affect guri's viability?
Cloaking Device seems pretty good on her, since you gain a lot from the ability to jump into range at the engagement. You can also, at range one of a Turret ship that you don't get into arc, cloak for 5 dice with focus and autothrusters (+possibly Sensor Jammers) for incredible defense. It is not something you want to use every turn, but it has some good utility.
Ive run something similar:
guri+LW+SJ+AT+ID
3X K-fighter
Or
5Xblacksun and Feedback
both lists are fun and effective against higher PS, TLT, and high hull ships
What about FCS? That plus her ability gives awesome action economy. Instead of Pred you can use VI or LW.
I ran an almost identical Guri build this week, the one difference being that I took Deadeye with the APTs. Deadeye works very well with Guri's innate ability and it will reliably allow you to fire the APTs every game without compromising your defense or action economy. You don't need predator with APTs with the 3 blanks to focus conversion.
You also will know exactly when to use glitterstim as both it and her ability occur at the beginning of the combat phase. Does you check to see if an enemy ship (the target) is at range 1 for the free focus. If it is and you don't have two focus tokens then pop glitterstim as you know for a fact you will shoot your APTs that turn.
It also has the benefit of makin Guri cost 46 points instead of 48.
Personally I'd recommend against using the Y-wings in favor of Hwks. Scum Hwks will help Guri do greater amounts of damage overall. Here is the list I would (And will) suggest you try:
Defensive Starvipers (100)
Guri (46)
Deadeye (1), Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6), Virago (1), Autothrusters (2), Sensor Jammer (4), Glitterstim (2)
Torkhil Mux (26)
Blaster Turret (4), K4 Security Droid (3)
Palob Godalhi (28)
Calculation (1), Blaster Turret (4), K4 Security Droid (3)
Does it have Recon Specs everywhere? No. Pavlov doesn't need recon spec given his ability so a K4 droid is an ideal choice. Torkil could benefit from either record spec or K-4, I like K-4 as it allows you to reliably get more damage through. Give it a shot.
I have run Guri similar to the one in the first list and have done well with advanced sensors.
What about FCS? That plus her ability gives awesome action economy. Instead of Pred you can use VI or LW.
I like FCS better on Xizor who does gain a lot from VI, unlike Guri. I think you could try to pair it with Outmanouver on her, which works well with the Sloops and in general is an underappreciated Elite upgrade, but I personally like the benefits of the other Sensors better.
Guri + Lone wolf + thrusters + APT
Mux + TLT
Cartel Spacer + HLC
B. Pirate
Should be able to get 2 PS kills before Mux bites the dust. Guri and an HLC Scyk should mop up what remains.
Would be pretty funny to end up at Range 1 of an enemy Palob with a TL, only to have him steal the free Focus, then pop Glitterstim and blast the crap out of him with APT anyway!

If the opponent has the initiative then Palobs ability will trigger before Guri. Would still be interesting to see though. Only downside is if someone with higher PS comes through and pops Guri before she has a chance to shove it down Palobs exhaust port.
