Black Market Slicer Tools (ie holy crap I don't have to ***** about RNG)

By ficklegreendice, in X-Wing

4-LOM (pilot) loves slicer tools.

Ugh..

You can fit 7 Binayre with Slicer Tools into a list.

Edited by Rinzler in a Tie

Technically do you need to worry about RNG as this card, like the Saboteur, works on a dice roll

It's funny though that this and Seismic Torps with PTL can cause 2 damage before the fighting's even started.

So are Flechette Torps going to get really popular for Scum?

What inherent ways do they have to stress people in addition to the new Ms. Ventress?

Besides those that stress themselves?

- 4LOM

- Ventress

- Flechette Torps

- Tactician

- Rigged Cargo Shute

- thermal detonators

- Conner Net

Ugh..

And only use 1 per turn because they've only got 1 Stress Token.

So you might kill Soontir before he eats through your seven ships.

So we're definitely running 7x Z-95, 4 with Slicer Tools and 3 with Feedback Array, yeah? Straight up joust with big ships like the Decimator and Ghost, and if any PtL users try to get froggy with us, we'll just block them into next Tuesday and feedback & slice away.

But they only remove stress if they deal damage, so with seven of them floating around it makes a stress a near guaranteed damage card.

I don't know how competitive it will be but Xizor with Fearlessness+Virago+AT+FCS with a pair of Slicer Pirates leaves 37 points to play with. VI may be a better choice but I think Fealessness might be fun on Xizor.

There are a lot of good options for Scum to spend those 37 points on.

I'm not saying you run 7 of these trolls. I'm saying you run 4 of them and a beefy Bossk.

Then you get four attempts (only remove stress if the die roll is successful) to do one face-down damage card to Fel and/or the Inq. then you Bossk (+Dengar+Zuckuss+4-Lom) them into oblivion. One Ace a turn (since arc is almost completely ignored in this list) sounds good to me.

Or you could just get PTL Asaaj with Gyroscopic, Tactician and slap on 2 slicer kits...

37 points will give you a Mandalorian Merc with Zuckuss and Wired. It's a thought.

Just out of interest, how many cards do you get in the box? 1 or 2?

It gets you a loaded Fenn Rau, U-Boat, TBC, or a Slaver Party Bus (might boot one of the normal crew for a Tactician).

Actually 37 points fits a Uboat upgraded to Manaroo.

Also true. Lots of options to see what suits how you want to play.

Two

Ah! So slightly better...

Bah! I really wish this came with the Fang Fighter instead of the Shadow Caster.

theres two in the box

and considering a lot of people are going to want 2 boxes for 2 cargo chutes, that means all these 4pirate slicer dreams are pretty likely.

meep....lol

Guess I need another Most wanted for some more Z-95s...

Wait.....I was thinking Black Sun Slicer Tools was a Black Sun Slicer Crew card. It's an Illicit? Sweet!!!!!

Muhaha! I have 5 Z-95's already.

part of the appeal

as a 1 point crew, it'd never see the light of day over 4-lom/zuckuss

but as an illicit...oh yeah!

And considering in HotAC the Rebels get illicits the only faction not getting this in some manner is the Empire. And they already had Rebel Captive.

Did we ever find out the pricing on the generic lancer?

1pt crew you might see it on a yv666 but thats it. Lot of times i see that ship the third crew is either empty or has a "well why not" card in there (boba)

However you would see it across the factions. TIE Shuttles, Decimators, Phantoms (failsafe if they didnt think they could safely get arc so they stayed cloaked), YT1400, YT2400, budget HWKs, or perhaps in the Ghost/Phantom would love this guy.

In fact i'd do that in a ghost. Slicer + Kyle + EI. Normal action, EI for possible free damage, destress next turn for free focus (assuming someone didnt just do the same thing to me :D)

Then again, as a crew it would probably be scum only. Makes sense for rebels, makes NO SENSE for imperials and we've yet to see a card saying "Non-X Only" where X is a faction or ship lol

Reddit says 33pt but no pic yet.
