Scum (YY+ HWK)

By CynisKaden, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I need opinions on this list. With Store Champs in mind.

Kavil — Y-Wing 24 Veteran Instincts 1 Autoblaster Turret 2 Unhinged Astromech 1 Engine Upgrade 4 Ship Total: 32

Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18 Twin Laser Turret 6 Extra Munitions 2 Bomb Loadout 0 Unhinged Astromech 1 Seismic Charges 2 Ship Total: 29

Palob Godalhi — HWK-290 20 Bodyguard 2 Twin Laser Turret 6 Tactician 2 Inertial Dampeners 1 Hull Upgrade 3 Moldy Crow 3 Ship Total: 37

Palob steals tokens and stores up focus in the early game as I slow roll forward. In the mid to late game he body guards Kavil so Kavil is slightly harder to kill. All three Ships have 360 turrets so arch is not an issue and Kavil guards the range 1 band and pretty much auto kills Soontir or any other defense dependent ace type build with his auto blaster turret+ engine upgrade to close the gap. My initiative bid makes it possible for me to give you initiative as well so you move before Kavil making this even worse for you. Okay boys tear it apart.

The initiative bid is the most important part, going to 98 should get you a leg up on a lot of Soontir builds, and even some non-VI Vader builds. Kavil definitely makes it a bad idea to chase the TLTs, and so do the seismic charges. Do you think you need bombs on the Y wing though? You mightbwant to consider switching to an aggromech to help that TLT damage output consistency, as Kavil won't always be at range 1.

What do you see as your good and bad matchups?

I have tried VI kavil with autoblaster, unhinged and engine and I was disapointed by his damage. He needs to do more considering how much he costs. I found you have to boost ALOT, so he needs some way to get dice mods. I think either unhinged + push the limit or just take predator. You lose PS9, and make him more expensive, but at least he hurts stuff...
