Spain Regionals Winner Interview

By jimmyrut, in X-Wing

Hi All

Last week I was lucky enough to ask the winner (Nino) a few questions about this dual Firespray build which I've been very inspired by. I hope you enjoy it and get as much out of it as I did.

Thanks for reading.

Good insight. Thanks for posting this. The Spaniards always seem to be working in unexplored corners of the meta, and it's cool to see these kinds of results.

Awesome!

Nice to see double Firespray do well. I love the ship but struggle to make it really perform.

Nice to finally see missile Boba get some rep. My favorite ship/loadout by far (I use VI, though...never needed the 97 bid).

Never thought of a second one, always thought of IG-B as partner. Balls of steel and well deserved.

could you write the list por favor ;) ?

Sorry, I have just click the link and see the list ;)

Super rare to see scum Boba w/o Engine Upgrade. Very creative thinking with this list. Homing Missiles + 4-LOM = "I don't care how many tokens you have." Nicely done!

Yeah, I really like that too. No Engine means less points, and it also frees up the slot for Chips. I'm a fan of builds that have the guts to take 50 point ships without repositioning. You have to be confident in your moves to do that.

Innovation!

I love it.

Congrats to you Nino!

I've run Krassis Trelix with Homing and Autoblaster -- no one wants to come into arc with that. I'm thinking Scum Boba with the same load might be even more devastating.

Your title is a bit ambiguous as there's been more than one regional in Spain (six total I think), but great interview and an awesome list.

His plan against jumpmasters was literally to dodge them.. which is the same thing i did with Han/Miranda in my store champ against TLTs.

I dont see that as a viable solution consistently.

Again you see what beautiful lists evolve when there are no jumpmaster in the meta

I remain astonished that it didn't stay with Kath packing missiles and Boba running EU - with 4-LOM and his rerolls he has the mods to be tokenless, and it makes both of Kaths arcs terrifying.

With that said, it's certainly not wrong . Thinking on it, if you're ace-hunting, having two 4-die arcs spitting fire is a pretty terrifying prospect, compared to Kath being dedicated 4-die and Boba being the 3... yeah, I guess I can see it.

A ballsy move, but not wrong. :)

Must have been awful tempting to sneak an ion bomb onto one of those ships, though!
