Super Guri

By Evil Doctor T, in X-Wing

Torpedoes on a Starviper are not optimal, since this ship wants Autothrusters and not Chimps.

Just no Torps. NO!

I just want to disagree with this and all the other people who say no to Torpedoes. I say this primarily due to the Flechette Torpedo. It's 2 pts, rolls 3 red dice, and gives a stress for everyone under 5 hull. I've used this quite a bit on a Xizor build and it was instrumental vs. some lists. There are those ships that you just have to stress at times. It's a good way to get a stress in without wasting your normal shot. They also don't get range bonus on defense. You don't need Guidance Chip because even if you miss, they are stressed.

I run that too in my xi swarm list back in the Day. Recently actually.

Hello!!!!

muy name is Joel and I'm from Spain. I'm the one who played Guri in the past Jakku Open like Icareane said. I'm not a x-wing guru, but I will try to explain why I choose.

My Guri configuration was:

-Guri +Lone wolf, autothruster, virago, cloaking device and sensor jammer.

The reason why this it's because of the meta game. I always thought Guri was a good pilot but it's not the best one to build a squadron around. With the Jumpmaster (dengar) in the game it was quite obvious that the problem was solved. Guri is the type of pilot nobody wants to have in a 1vs1 until you suffer her, but no one wants a 1vs1 with Dengar also. The idea is to "sacrifice" Dengar for Guri and make as much damage as possible and the Guri finish the job.

With Lone Wolf I asure a good defense and attack (re rolling a blank result is gorgeous). With Sensor jammer I will determine an Ace like the inquisitor to spent the focus token during the attack or defense just with evade. It also makes the other player the condition to make focus as action or in most of the times, it's 1 hit less of the roll. Autothrusters is a "must have" in a 3 green dice ship with boost, and with U-boats even more. And the most important, the cloaking device. I tried with gliterstim, but with Guri's ability, yo will gain that extra focus many times and even more important, you can be faster in a scape or more unpredictable when attacking.

sorry if I made any gramatical o syntactic mistake.

In summary, if I made top4 it was for Guri, not for Dengar. In 6 of my 8 victories the key for winning was Guri with no doubt
