Ideas for a Scum List

By dchristman98, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm fairly new only been playing x-wing about 6 months now and started with Imperial and I have now branched out to Rebels, but I also want to start a Scum List I just bought the StarViper because I really like the ship and think it has a lot of untapped potential that I'm gonna try to unleash

I like Guri with

-Autothrusters

-Virago title

-PtL

-Fire Control Systems

And maybe the Hot Shot Blaster

But I want to see what would work with it and have good synergy. I like the IG-2000, and wonder if it would make a good pair with Guri, any thoughts of what to run or other lists to try out, thanks for any help

I want to try, as a fair warning though I just learned to play a few days ago.

Guri

-Push the limit

-Advanced protom torpedoes

-Virago

-Autothrusters

-Advanced Sensors

Syndicate Thug

-Twin laser turret

-BTL-A4 title

X2 Binayre pirate

-Dead man's switch

Unfortunately, its not easy to pair Guri and an IG88 together due to the way the points work out. Not impossible, but basically, you are looking at a z-95 as your 3rd ship, or else, running just the two of them together (which means you have probably made them outrageously overly expensive...)

Here are some Guri builds that I can vouch as 'effective':

-lone wolf OR predator, virago, sensor jammer & autothrusters = 39 or 40 pts. This provides you with a fairly 'tanky' ship. Sensor Jammer and autothrusters help protect Guri from damage (as does lone wolf if you know how to use it) and her free focus at Range 1 ensures she can hit hard when in close.

- predator OR push the limit, virago, advanced sensors & autothrusters = 39. This build is harder to use because Guri can be a bit more squishy, but it opens up the s-loop as a less risky option thanks to advanced sensors and allows for some interesting movement options, especially in conjunction with push the limit. Remember that with advanced sensors, if you have a green move on your dial, you can take an action before revealing the dial, use push the limit to take a 2nd action, take a stress token, then reveal the green move and immediately clear the stress.

I have heard others try things like veteran instincts, crack shot, wired and what not, but ultimately, I don't believe they are as good as the above two.

Wingmates:

Guri goes well with 3 cartel marauders (khiraxz). If you take sensor jammer, Palob is a great wingman for her. I personally like to run her with a pair of Vigos (starviper generics) or twin laser thugs (y-wing generics).

Those do sound very promising for sure I will definitely try them out and I wouldn't mind trying Guri with a pair a Vigos cuz I definitely think the StarViper is a great unique ship you just have to learn how to pilot it to its maximum, and I didn't think it was possible to pair with an IG-88 I just seen that's a very popular ship for Scum and wondered how or if those two can be flown effectively together
