Hey folks - hope you don't mind me looking for some advice. I have been trying to make a Latts/Palob/Talon list work. I have had limited success but have seen some struggles with this. Not sure if it is with my setup and I just need to practice flying further or if there is something fundamentally wrong with the squad makeup:

================= Latts_Talon_Palob ================= 99 points Pilots ------

Latts Razzi (39) YV-666 (33), Weapons Engineer (3), K4 Security Droid (3)

Talonbane Cobra (31) Kihraxz Fighter (28), Predator (3)

Palob Godalhi (29) HWK-290 (20), Veteran Instincts (1), Twin Laser Turret (6), Tactician (2)

With Store Championships looming I didn't want to crash and burn too badly.

Thanks!!!

Latts is my favorite YV-666 pilot. Her special power can be an ace killer at the right moment.

I also like how Talonbane can be the hammer to Latts' anvil.

The only oddball is Palob. That focus stealing power can be great, but it requires that you put a fragile ship in dangerous places. Using VI on Palob only gets it to PS 7, which is less than all the popular aces (Darth, Poe, Corran, Soontir, etc.).

Maybe that's where you can make some changes?

Thanks much! He is fragile....just got stuck on the focus stealing ability....I will try some other combos

I'm having some success with:

-Latts: bossk+gunner+tactician

-Guri: Sensor Jammer+title+AT+crack

-cartel marauder or autoblaster thug

100 points

Very good synergy when Guri attacks first with Latts ability, then Latts makes his combo. The other ship can complete the cleaning.

Give it a try!

Thanks!

Palob is very good! His ability helps to keep him alive (if you steal a focus token, they can't use it when they shoot at him, or if you steal an evade token, you can use it if they do shoot at him!).

He kind of needs Moldy Crow though. I would drop tactician and Veteran instincts to get that instead.

Thanks much!

This was going to be my suggestion exactly. The other two upgrades are lackluster on Palob/HWK, but Moldy Crow is great with his ability.

That's my current list with Latts Razzi:

Latts Razzi with K4 Security Droid, Weapon Engineer, Tactician and Hound's Tooth

IG-B with Crack Shot, Fire Control System, Heavy Laser Cannon, Ion Cannon, Glitterstim, Autothrusters

This is an Ace Killer list:

-Take a TL with Latts on your two potential victim

-Shoot with IG-B first with an Ion Cannon (with only a Focus, and that's assuming you don,t want to keep it or take an Evade for defensive purpose, you should average 1 damage with your HLC anyway, might as well give an Ion token if you do hit)

-If you miss, use Latts TL to drop your target agility by one and shoot with your TLed (thanks to FCS) HLC if going for damage or Ion Cannon (if going for control), use CrackShot if you need to

The Hound's Tooth title is there so that Latts can continue to provide the Agility reduction even if she gets destroyed too fast. That's a fun list to fly, not sure if I consider it competitive, but I have yet to lose with it.

I just hosted a tournament last weekend (not Store Champ) in Bangor, Maine. The undefeated first place winner (out of four players... ) was flying a Latts list as follows:

Latts Razzi

Weapons Engineer

K4 Security Droid

Hound's Tooth

Black Sun Soldier

Black Sun Soldier

Total: 99/100 pnts

It's tough to decide which crew to stuff into Latts' ship.

Bossk + Gunner is always nice because of the improved re-roll.

• Add Weapon's Engineer and Bossk will give you 2 TLs for the price of 1.
• Add Tactician for even more control. Complements the amazing 180 degree arc. But you won't use your special power as often.
• Add Outlaw Tech to guarantee you have modified dice when you do a full stop.

K4 Security Droid + Weapons Engineer gives you piles of Target Locks. This is optimal for using your special power.

• Add Tactician to make this ship the bane of aces. Expect to draw heavy fire.
• Add Bossk to re-up to 2 TLs if you miss, allowing you to help the rest of your squad.

I have also found Engine Upgrade to be invaluable as it allows you to do a green bank 1 (K4 security droid) and then a boost to give a full 90 degrees turn for your massive arc.

The more you put on it, the more you will lose when this low agility ship dies. It's a tightrope of awesome utility vs. expected lifespan on the board.

Had a game earlier with latts talonbane and the ps 6 syck earlier, latts had k4, bossk, weapons engineer and talonbNe had glitters times and crack shot, the syck had the mangler,

The list can kick out some decent damage, talonbane even one shotted fel at range 1

Here's what I would do with those three:

Latts, Palob, Talon (100)

Palob Godalhi (30) - HWK-290

Blaster Turret (4), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3)

Latts Razzi (39) - YV-666

Weapons Engineer (3), K4 Security Droid (3)

Talonbane Cobra (31) - Kihraxz

Predator (3)
