Zuckuss + Contracted Scout + ???

By Lanthal, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey all,

I'm trying to build a list that uses Zuckuss (or maybe 4-LOM if you can convince me) and a Contracted Scout.

This is what I have so far:

Contracted Scout w/ Intel Agent + R5-P8 + Inertial Dampeners + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (34)

Zuckuss w/ Mist Hunter + Tractor Beam + Dengar + VI

I was thinking about Palob (I love the Scum HWKs) because he can strip tokens from the ships that don't get trapped by the bumpmaster to increase Zuckuss' effectiveness.

Something like:

Palob w/ Blaster Turret + Recon Spec + Title + Expert Handling (32)

Expert Handling was on a whim, thinking that I could get out of arc and keep him alive a bit longer. And the stress isn't a huge issue as tokens will be stacked from title. Predator is another alternative.

Palob w/ TLT + Pred is nice but it limits his ability a bit as you want to stay out of range 1.

I was also playing with the idea of a Guri in there. Perhaps with 4-LOM instead of Zuckuss.

Or do I just do a 3xZ miniswarm?

Would love to hear thoughts.

Why not give this a go:

33 Zuckuss w/ VI, Dengar, Title, Tractor.

33 Manaroo w/ Adapt, K4, Unhinged, Feedback.

34 Scout w/ Deadeye, OCR4, PlasmaT, EM, Feedback, Chips.

Manaroo gets in the way so she's not getting shot at and passes the U-Boat her TL and focus for a double modded torpedo shot. Zuckuss loves it when stuff bumps mama too and can hammer them with his 4 dice double modded shot.

I have been playing this exact list with Trandoshan slaver equipped with Greedo & Feedback Array.

I have altered the list now by changing bumpmaster to torpedo Manaroo. Mainly because damage output was a bit too low with bumper.

I agree with Green Doo, Make it a torp boat. once torps are used then bump. I ran slaver naked, zuckuss, and dengar and was surprised at how well it did.

I like it. Here's how I've ended up:

Scout w/ Plasma Torps + Extra Munitions + r4 Aggro + Deadeye + Guidance Chips (33)

Zuckuss w/ title + tractor beam + dengar + VI (33)

Slaver w/ Greedo + Feedback array (32)

that brings me to 98. I could upgrade to Manaroo and be 100pts but I could also do something like 4-LOM on the Scout or Boba Fett on the slaver and be 99pts.

or change plasma to proton torpedoes

thoughts?

Happy to help :)

4Lom on scout would be my choice if you go that route.

I'm trying Manaroo mainly because I want to see if her PS 4 is any good and hopefully she can buff Zuckuss later in the game.

I like plasma better because it have ability to burn away extra shield and with overclocked you can quarantee your eyeball results are at least hits.
