Attani Madness

By Albertpalma, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everybody,

I really like Attani mindlink, apart on JM5K or Dengaroo, or the incoming Fenn-Terry, I think its the inmediate future for S&V. Furthermore, control-stress mechanics are out from my local meta, so it's ideal and plenty of room for experimentation.

I have tried many combos: Manaroo, Palob, Guri, Talonbane, N'dru... All are fine, some perform very well (Guri specially). But not spectacular.

But then I looked to my lonely IG88. Months ago, before wave 8, I was trying IG88+1 lists, Boba or Bosk. Nice, but again, not spectacular.

So, on topic, I came with this:

Aggressor: · IG-88C (36)

Attanni Mindlink (1)

Fire Control System (2)

Autothrusters (2)

JumpMaster 5000: · Manaroo (27)

Attanni Mindlink (1)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)

Guidance Chips (0)

· 4-LOM (1)

HWK-290: · Palob Godalhi (20)

Attanni Mindlink (1)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

It's a token madness. This list was for casual, now people complain if they see it on table:

IG almost every turn with all tokens without stress, Manaroo sharing love with everybody, and Palob with his R1-2 denial bubble. I only have to manage k or s-looping with IG.

Have you tried something similar?Any thoughts?

i think that Attanni Mindlink is way under rated in the current meta.

I have attaini mindlink lists where Manaroo and Palob are the constant. I've flown Tensarri vets, Talonbane, and Guri. I've never felt happy with my third ship. Palob ends up being my powerhouse with a TLT and Dengar. Guri and TBC come closest to being a threat. I think I'm going to give an IGG a shot as well.

Recently ran Attani + K4 security droid on Dengar. Every move is a built in ptl w/out stress. I have found it helpful. The only thing you have to think about is when you do a red maneuver (with Dengar, why are you doing a red maneuver?).

The question is what did you link him to?

That is a good question! I've run him the last few times linked to a contracted scout. Allowing the Scout to fire torpedoes or block. And if my opponent tries to block Dengar, he still has his lock + focus token. But I'm not sold on this and think he'd run well with an IG.
