Predator Synergy with Torkil's Negativity

By Ob3ron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Since Torkil Mux can "generate" targets for anyone with Predator, how does this Scum list look to you?

Drea Renthal 29 total

BTL_A4 Y-Wing; Blaster Turret; R4-B11

Torkil Mux 29 total

Ion Cannon Turret; Outlaw Tech, Moldy Crow

Guri 41 total

Virago; Predator; Accuracy Corrector, Glitterstim, Autothrusters

Total: 99

I have acquired Cloaking Device, so maybe I drop Glitter or Auto.

I'd replace the Blaster Turret with a Dorsal Turret. You lose one die at Range 2, but Drea is going to be stressed almost all the time, so you're going to have difficulty firing the Blaster. You can use the extra point to buy Twin Laser Turret for Torkil.

Great point. I don't have either of those turrets, but I could put on an Autoblaster and upgrade my hull, putting the squad at 100. The R4 can help with the loss of 1 attack die

If you're planning on using an Autoblaster Turret (and they can actually be actually a lot more fun than the lackluster stats make it look), I'd give Drea an Engine Upgrade rather than giving someone a Hull Upgrade. Being able to boost makes a lot of difference in whether or not you're able to use the AB turret.

I wouldn't have thought of that but I don't have the card yet. Boost would definitely be more useful. Thanks!

Guri 41 total

Virago; Predator; Accuracy Corrector, Glitterstim, Autothrusters

Change accuracy corrector to advanced sensors. Accuracy Corrector is really only useful on a TIE advanced. Even so, 2 'guaranteed' hits is not that great, and your spending three points for the privilege. Besides, with predator re-rolls and Guri's extra focus token, how often are you actually going to score less than two hits? Not very! Advanced sensors allows some very cool tricks, allows greater survivability when you s-loop, and makes her somewhat immune to blocking (VERY handy against torpedo scouts that are becoming more popular now).

Another card I don't have but a very good point about Guri's capabilities.

So, what I can do is drop the AC and Glitterstim from Guri, and put a Cloaking Device on her and Hot Shot on Torkil.

Here's the revised list at 100 even.

Drea Renthal total: 30

BTL_A4 Y-Wing; Blaster Turret; R4-B11; Hull Upgrade

Torkil Mux total: 32

Ion Cannon Turret; Outlaw Tech, Moldy Crow, Hot Shot Blaster

Guri total: 38

Virago; Predator; Cloaking Device, Autothrusters

Total: 100
