Palp with a Firespray

By strawb3rrypanic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok this is really more of an excuse to use my Firespray-31 more...

OMG Pilot

Palp

29 nothing new here

Omega Leader

Juke

Comm Relay

26 Again nothing new but it's probably the best ship that fits into the remaining points

Kath Scarlett

VI

Mangler Cannon

Tactician

45 Ok the difference a pretty lean Kath but one that I think has a lot going for her, the Mangler obviously synergizes with her to give that crit from the front shot and save the Palp and if it is a rear gun shot then you palp for a crit obviously, and with Tactician you can possibly dole out 2 stress on 1 ship...

Interested in this idea. How do you foresee tackling the big three?

Double Jumps & Party Bus / Triple Jumps

Palp Aces

TIE Swarm



If you have Palp in there, Mangler isn't really needed. How about:

Kath Scarlet (38):

  • Adaptability (0)
  • Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Rebel Captive (3)

Total: 45 pts

A Firespray w/o Engine Upgrade won't accomplish much and Rebel Captive is amazing on Kath.

With that said, I think you'd be better served on a DeciPalp, considering synergy with Kath.

I second the engine thing on a firespray. Rebel cap is still pretty strong in the meta, but I think you need to push damage faster, rather than bank on a late game omega lead.
