Aggressor Question

By Epixca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I LOVE IG-88! I love him in Star Wars, and in X-Wing. I play dual Aggressors the most often out of all of my squads. I was wondering, can you play IG-88C without advanced sensors? I never see a C build without AS. I would love to hear back soon.

Fire control system is better than ADSensors all day :).

Thanks for you instant response!

What about running no System upgrade?

I was thinking about trying some, REALLY unique. Is this a good squad?

Aggressors are so varied in how they can play it's really up to the player and what they are comfortable with. Your list could work well, but it relies a bit too heavily on initial dice rolling for my taste.

With C you tend to boost a lot, meaning your TL and focus aren't giving you modifications. Opportunist also means you'll want to spread out and flank people, so you run the risk of getting rushed on 1 side.

I prefer the much more aggressive Crack shot/HLC/FCS/thrusters/title/Feedback set up. Things die fast on both sides and that leads to lots of interesting moments.

Thanks for the advice!

Is IGGY-A Good against anything, besides swarms? Like, say . . . Two ship squads? I was just wondering, because you never see "A" in tournaments, is that because of the lack of swarm? I usually am playing against 2 ships.

Also, can you even play Aggressors without system upgrades? I have only 1 Advanced Senors and a lot of Acc Correcters, (Which suck.)

A is really only good against 4+ ships, if your area is stuck in 2-3 ships land, then A isn't amazing. Usable, but not amazing.

System upgrades are some of the best upgrades in the game, I would rather drop HLC to a mangler than lose a system upgrade. Are you making this list for a tournament? Most people in my area will allow proxies and print outs of cards during causal play.

Getting ready for a tournament. I am getting some more ships for Christmas, in 2 days, and my B-Day Jan 3.

Does anyone have any good B,C builds I could use. I have this so far.

With the cards I have, can you guys finish off the build for me? I know Stay on Target is popular, so I can easily change what I have. I could also switch out C's for some Advanced Sensors.

Think I got something here!
