Fun Potential Scum Swarm

By cdavis89, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I was thinking of some fun scum swarm ideas and thought of this. Don't plan on winning any tournaments with it or anything but wanted to see if anyone had some advice for it. Thanks in advance!

Serissu

VI, Hull Upgrade, Title, Flechette Cannon

2x Syndacite Thug

Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech

2x Binayre Pirate

Is the VI on Serissu worth it, in your opinion?

I think I would find myself defaulting to the Evade action while trying to keep up with the faster Y-Wings.

If you drop the Hull Upgrade, you can take Swarm Tactics to boost someone else to 8 as well, and take a better cannon too.

My thinking with VI and Hull Upgrade was being able to shoot first, because the Scyk is so brittle. But I certainty see the value in Swarm Tactics.

The thinking on Flechette Cannon was obviously the Stress. But also, if I can put Ion tokens on ships as well as stress, I can control the board more.

I think R4 agromechs are more important than unhinged, especially on a ship that can shoot twice. My suggestion would be to drop hull + VI off Serissu, add juke on her and change both droids on the y-wings into R4s.

Is R4 as important on a Y-Wing that isn't shooting twice though? It's using Ion, not TLT.

Oops, I thought those were BTL-A4 y-wings. Nevermind!
