F Yo Arcs - Arcdodging Scum Dengar+Guri

By Schyzo Kitty, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Howdy folks.

So I've heard about this infamous arc dodging Dengar build lately, tried it and thought is amazing. After tinkering a bit I came out with this little funny build

JumpMaster 5000: · Dengar (33)

Push The Limit (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

K4 Security Droid (3)

· Punishing One (12)

Unhinged Astromech (1)

StarViper: · Guri (30)

Push The Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

· Cloaking Device (2)

Total of 98 points

Tactics are really easy, just arc dodge the s... out of your opponent

What you guys think?

Similar to my build but I have Lone Wolf on Guri and Glitterstim on both pilots.

My reasoning is Guri on greens becomes predictable and easier to deal with. Starviper greens aren't great. At her PS she isn't ideally suited to dodging so instead I wanted her to be a tempting target (40 odd points will do that) but take in inordinate amount of effort to deal with so Dengar can run riot!

I've taken this same build to casual games night. It's fun, but it doesn't do a lot of damage. This is especially true on turns where Guri is forced to cloak. Also, I found I was often torn between trying to arc dodge with Dengar, and trying to make use of his ability. I used Lone Wolf on Guri, which adds another level of difficulty to the list, I also had Glitterstim on Dengar.

I think it can be really effective when Guri is used a blocker. If I ran it again, I would try her with Predator.

Overall, I think its a hard list to play, but can be effective. Good luck!

Don't getbsuckednin by Dengars ability. It's for one on one situations only. He's simply not tough enough to joust more than one opponent. I use his ability to create a pretty huge no fly zone rather than actively trying to trigger.

Predator is definitely an option on Guri but if you can get the range restriction under control, LW is a great boost to her survivability in conjunction with Sensor Jammer.
