I'm Gonking at Dragonflight this year, how's my list?

By dewbie420, in X-Wing Squad Lists

100points

Trandoshan Slaver (39): YV-666 (29), “Gonk” (2), Gunner (5), Experimental Interface (3)

Kavil (32): Y-Wing (24) Twin Laser Turret (6), Unhinged Astromech (1), Veteran Instincts (1)

Ruthless Freelancer (29): G-1A (23), Gunner (5), Mist Hunter (0), Tractor beam (1)

or should I Brobot?

Whilst I like the idea of the list you are going to struggle as most of your ships are flying with 1 agility. Gonk on the slaver is nice but with the stress from doing a double gonk is going to be hard to wash off. Especially once you have joust Ed initially and try to come around for another shot. Rather than gunner you might want to try dengar which allows you a reroll and gives you 2 points to spend or on initiative.

I like Dengar, a lot. I will test it.

I never try to joust with THIS list. I scatter and flank, well I try. But I have an easy time shaking stress- with just 7 games trying this squad... I usually only Double Gonk (or after Focus/TL) maybe twice late in the game. When I run Bossk crew I never seem to Gonk after TL/Focus.

When the Protectorate hits, I'm dropping the MistHunter so I can joust better.

OK, I made a few changes.

Still 100pts, Still Gonkin'
