Manaroo - I Was Defeated, You Won The War

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Manaroo - promise to love you for ever more...

...OK, so I know a lot of the attention for the JM5K has (rightly) so far been on the Contracted Scout and the U-Boats (and Bumpmaster) builds, but ****...

Manaroo is freakin' awesome.

Played half a dozen games with this guy over the weekend, and he's probably (in my opinion, at least) one of the finest support ships in the game.

Kitted her out with an Unhinged Astromech and a K4 Security Droid, and simply let him run wild and free as nature intended.

her... Manaroo is female.

Her it is, then. Let's not turn this into one of those threads.

So.... what else did you run with her?

The list I was flying was:

Zuckuss - Mist Hunter, 4-LOM, Tractor Beam

Manaroo - K4 Security Droid, Unhinged Astromech

Mandalorian Mercenary - Slave 1, Boba Fett, Advanced Homing Missile, Guidance Chips

The Merc was there simply because I wanted to try scare the hell out of the Emperor - I'd probably replace him with Guri.

Manaroo was an absolute star. Zuckuss could Barrel roll into a superior position or evade as necessary, and still benefit from fully modified dice with her around.

I think Manaroo could be really good alongside mobile aces like Guri or an IG-2000, to help maximise repositioning and attack strength.

I certainly preferred flying her to flying a loaded Dengar, anyway.

I ran manaroo with dead eye, k4 security Droid, over clocked astro, plasma torps, extra munitions, and guidance cchips.

I teamed her up with 2 tlt thugs, one with overclocked the other with seismic charge, and a binayre pirate with feedback array.

Was pretty good. I won a store championship with it. I think manaroo will pair better with something that hits harder, like guri or talonbane cobra...

but it was still a very fun list

I ran a similar list at league one night and went 3-0. Very fun to fly.

hear hear

manaroo makes scout spam fun by letting you do stupid things while still enabling deadeye

barrel-rolls, stress, bumps, stress AND bumps, obstacles, red maneuvers; don't matter so long as manaroo focuses :D

Manaroo, Palob Mindlink is a lot of fun

Manaroo is what Talonbane Cobra needed.
