Scum Ion Trolls

By McQuirk, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Basic idea is the Ys drop a load of ion tokens onto a cluster of enemies (ion torps instead of ICT for the bubble effect) and Dace takes a fat pile of stress to dish out a load of damage. Then again. Then hopefully twice more next round, if he's well enough positioned to not die.

It's a very silly list which I don't expect to be remotely competitive but it looks like fun.

And a Dead Man's switch z-95 pilot just because.

I'm just wondering if there is a better combo of upgrades for Dace that might work better?

HWK-290: · Dace Bonearm (23)

Wired (1)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

· Moldy Crow (3)

Y-Wing: Syndicate Thug (18)

Ion Torpedoes (5)

Extra Munitions (2)

Y-Wing: Syndicate Thug (18)

Ion Torpedoes (5)

Extra Munitions (2)

Z-95 Headhunter: Binayre Pirate (12)

Ion Pulse Missiles (3)

Dead Man's Switch (2)

Careful that you aren't expecting Dace to do too much. His ability only works about once per turn because he cannot use his ability if he has a stress already

With the new gear that lets you take damage instead of stress you could dish out more damage... except that you've only got five heath, so maybe two or something a turn until your health gets dangerously low...

John!

Ah, nuts. In my excitement I overlooked the "if you are not stressed" line in Dace's ability. Back to the drawing board...

Maybe just taking ICTs instead of the torps might be the way to go then. Going with the same core of the list, I've come up with:

Dace, Wired, TLT, Outlaw Tech, Moldy Crow

Thug, ICT, Unhinged Astro

Thug, ICT, Unhinged Astro

Pirate, Ion Pulse Missiles, Dead Man's Switch
