Why no love for Zuckuss?

By 4fox100, in X-Wing

we've had b-wings forever

we havn't had viable ordnance since ever

And also, B-wing > G1a. When you make a crappier version of something, there isn't a lot of excitement for it.

I disagree. G1-A with crew option is fantastic. Especially with the awesome scum crews available. You definetively underestimate the G1-A

the g1-a certainly has the superior dial and a lot more interesting, affordable crew options

still, it's very similar to what we've had before. the jm5k is off the wall bonkers crazy, and thus more appealing

Zuckuss + FCS + Juke. Fly it with Palob or a Bumpmaster.

I'm just happy to see people mentally prepared to ignore him. He has done PHENOMINAL work in almost every game I've seen him played. The only times he didn't were when he got picked off early. So the key is to provide another scary threat...like a Jumpmasters. Those twoplay well together.

Adv Sensors

Dengar

Title / Tractor Beam

With the adv sensors barrel roll he becomes a rather hard ship to pin down (not whisper or fel hard but still rather slippery). The trick is running things in the list that will take the heat off of him. Like the JM5K or palob as you said.

I love my crazy railgun Zuckuss build. Expose, experimental interface, advanced sensors, k4, title+beam for 42 points of face wreck. Get that puppy range 1 and you're launching 6 well modified dice, anywhere else you're throwing 5 again usually with focus + target lock. It's delicious and dumb and fun.

'cuz he's a Scum B-wing post TLT

Actually he cost more. But it is not because TLT is so good but right now because of the meta every list is designed to kill 8 hitpoints 1 agility because every list is designed to kill a Y-wing. TLT was designed to kill token heavy 3 agility low hit points like soontir and 2 evades like Fat Han.

So with all lists designed to kill y-wings B-wings and G1a is not too different.
