Scum Trio

By Cosmopolitanchykowianechka, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I tested Guri with Cloaking Device (IMO best illicit for her), but i think that Xizor'd be better arc dogger:

Xizor w/ VI, Virago, Advanced Sensors, Autothrusters, Cloaking Device

Then I'd want to get some walue from his ability, so why not to take some nice tank Gonk YV-666 with some board control:

Latts Razi w/ Ion cannon, K4, Weapons Engineer, Gonk, Engine Upgrade

I've chosen Latts, because he does something even if he cant shoot. And if I read his ability well, he can use it 2 times, and he may use it on himself? K4 gives him some additional actions to stack shields.

Now i have 12 pts let, what should i spend them for? Title and what? Or z?

Edit its not Trio <facepalm>

The cloaking device is, imho, a 'nice to have' but is not really essential to an effective build. I would throw it on if you happen to have 2 points left, but it isn't going to influence the game that much. You'll use it once for sure, maybe a 2nd time, but more than that? Maybe on rare occasions....

Xizor really wants at least 1 z-95 for splash damage (especially in the early game) so I would definitely try to fit one in.

However, I'm not a fan on that particular Xizor build. If you are going advanced sensors, give him predator or push the limit. If you're going Veteran Instincts, give him FCS.

I'm also not seeing Gonk being that helpful for a 1 agility ship. Gaining back a shield or 2 may or may not actually extend the ship's life, since 'overkill' shots are so frequent against such ships.

Here's my take on it:

Latts w/ ion pulse missiles, K4 droid, weapon engineer & engine = 46

Xizor w/ VI, virago, FCS, cloaking device, autothrusters, flechette torps = 41

Binayre pirate = 12

99

If Xizor and Latts shoot the same target, you have the potential for ion + stress. Save the cloak for the late game when Xizor is alone to get him out of a bad position. Early game he won't need it, since the pirate protects him from harm.

Ion pulse missiles are nice on Latts because you don't spend the TL to fire them. So you can either spend the TL for -1 agility or save it to re-roll dice if you get a bad roll (unfortunately, you have to decide to use Latts' ability when declaring the attack, so you won't know if you rolled badly or not. Fortunately with K4 droid, you should have a focus too).
