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

By ficklegreendice, in X-Wing

Slicer + Boba (Crew) = A Very Scary 2 points ....

You like that Heavy Laser Canon ... Too bad!

You like those Engine Upgrades ....Goodbye!

Nice title you have there ... Not anymore!

You'd need a Slicer, Boba and Greedo for that to work, though. Possible!

Greedo and Fett both require you to be attacking. Slicer Tools is an action.

Guys... Why has nobody realized the gross combo yet? YT-XX00 with the illicit giving mod, slicer, stresshog flying shotgun and giving plenty of stress all around. Unless I've missed something big this seems ridiculous.

I was thinking this as well ... More specifically a Stresshog, Eaden Vrill/Slicer/Ezra/Experimental Interface. Throw Airen in there for good measure

It may make an interesting combo.

Or the Slicer combined with Anti-Pursuit Lasers/Ion Projector helps fills Lone Wolf Dash's donut hole.

It is random and I hate coin flips, but **** it.

Can't wait to kill your ass in 6 coinflips on average haha. Phantoms and Corran in only 4 haha.

The Corran and the Phantom era have been slowly fading, and this is the end for them.

Slicer Tools seems to work against Vrill's ability.

My thinking is a a Stresshog is two stress. And if it misses.

Is a Shadow Caster with Feedback Array and Slicer worth doing?

Only if you miss-aim your mobile arc.

Well. I guess that's a blatant and obvious nerf to pTL small ships and small ships in general.

Why the FLOCK can't we have extreme anti large ship counters?

I guess we're all playing large ships for wave 9 again. Not happy

Also. This on 4 TLT Y scum. Whooopdie do. No weakness to aces anymore. No blind spot anymore. What the flock

TLT Ys don't have an Illicit slot.

Does this count as a hit though?

Like would it remove a stealth device?

Oh they don't? Never mind. I forgot. Salvaged. Astro

opening up soontir's dial in exchange for damage would not be a benefit to him. It would put a time limit on his head like some Black Mage in Final Fantasy just cast Doom on him or something. He has (3) Turns Left to Kill the Slicer...failed... now he has (2) Turns Left to kill the slicer... failed again... etc etc.

Either the Aces rip the slicer users apart or they have a timer over their head. Range2 is pretty **** wide

Most of the time itll take you more than 3 rounds to kill soontir with slicer tools

No illicit on Y-wings, non Virago Vipers, Fangs or Scyks.

with a singular slicer yes. People are going to run Z's with this thing, with 2-3 floating around. Odds of failing it 3 times are pretty low

because FFG ****ed up making cluster mines

and they ****ed up bad

Is Saboteur a decent card now? I know that there was some brief talk about it when Palpatine was revealed

Contracted Scout

Black Market Slicer Tools

Saboteur

Experimental Interface

31 points. If You're going for EI, may as well stack more ACTION cards onto it. Daredevil, Expert Handling perhaps? Squad Leader to giver other BMST ships free shots with it?

From what I've seen around reddit and here, no one seems to think Snuggling Compartments will give the YTs any benefits that outshine EU. It's too bad, because I'm seeing some possibilities, especially with Black Market Slicer Tools being a way to give Dash a shot against Imperial Aces.

Here's a quick build I threw together:

-Dash Rendar: Lone Wolf, Title, HLC, anti-pursuit lasers, Mercenary Copilot, Snug parts, BMST.

-Lothal Rebel: Autoblaster turret, accuracy corrector, Hera, and Ezra crew.

99 points total.

This list has three ways to deal damage that high agility and Palpatine can do nothing about, and their aces have to decide between long-range snipers' duels against 4-dice attackers with 26 combined health, or risk getting sliced, APL'd and ABT'd to death; All because I'm challenging the opinion that large ships without boost are chum for aces.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy, or does this new wave really change things for YTs?

Right, but what about aces? I see more of them in my local meta. (Montana's scene kinda sucks.)

there are better turrets to fly against aces

don't like losing boost on dash is a worthwhile cost for having a single BMST

That's cuz cluster mines and Conner nets were meant to take out the dumb large ships with boost that took over wave 5 6 without counter.

And look. Still no large ship counters.

I wonder if we'll be having this conversation in a month, RE: How does X do against Palp Aces?

Rather, I think we'll be asking, "How do I beat ScumP Aces?"

really all it could change for YT's is when HOTR comes out as well you can run black slicers on falcon/dash. Which, with Cracken following or EI, can potentially snag you free damage against aces without costing your action for offense.

And tbh thats pretty big. Lose your EU but personally i rarely use it with FatHan and i usually just bring it because i got points lying around and nothing better to use it on. Could technically EI + Lando for Han but Gunner is better and the other slot is already hardfixed for c3p0.

And i agree i am still waiting for that anti-large ship card. Slicers actually would BENEFIT large ships since they typically have destress issues due to base size and they got the girth to ignore the damage for quite awhile. Mines or a MIRV-type attack would be best, course mines have been gak'd up so bad i doubt that'd ever be good and designing a MIRV weapon that cant utterly cripple small ships without making it useless against small ships (another nono) wouldnt be easy.

From what I've seen around reddit and here, no one seems to think Snuggling Compartments will give the YTs any benefits that outshine EU.
