SCUM Boba, Palob, Ndru

By RoockieBoy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi guys! After playing Imperials for 8 months (all my x-wing life), I got a Most Wanted box, and started to hear the scum calling me to join, so I got myself a few upgrade cards from my friends and started playing this list:

Boba Fett, VI, 4-lom, EU

Palob, Adaptability, Ion Cannon Turret, Cloaking Device, Stygium Accelerator, IA.

Ndru Suhlak, LW, Cluster Missiles, Glitterstim, Chips

100p

I've had some mixed results. In 2 games my cloaking device blew up the first time I used it. I ended up losing both. On the other 3 games my device worked for 3-4 turns, I ended up winning. Palob is a beast at stripping tokens and messing up enemy's action choices, but I played vs Carnor Jax and he killed Palob quite easily as I couldn't use my focus or my evade.

After not firing the Ion cannon much, I'm thinking about switching to ABT, saving 3p, and putting GS on boba as well. With the last point I could drop Adapt. for VI. Also, 4-Lom wasn't much used, as my opponents were not taking any focus/evades for fear of Palob. Should I change him? Any thoughts?

Thanx

I call this list the "Ace Eraser":

Boba Fett (54)

Firespray-31 (39), Veteran Instincts (1), Autoblaster (5), 4-LOM (1), Homing Missiles (5), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Slave-1 (0), Long Range Scanners (0), Extra Munitions (2)

Palob Godalhi (27)

HWK-290 (20), Adaptability (0), Autoblaster Turret (2), Intelligence Agent (1), Cloaking Device (2), Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

N’dru Suhlak (19)

Z-95 Headhunter (17), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Crack Shot (1)

It was originally set up with no illicit on Boba and 'stim on N'dru -- switched for BMST when that comes out. With Autoblaster, Homing Missiles, and 4-LOM Boba can crush an Ace that gets in forward arc, while Palob in the Block Hawk predicts, bumps, and/or autoblasts. N'dru just serves as an annoying flanker.

Boba and N'Dru are fine.

I'd run Palob like this:

Palob Godalhi (20):

  • Cool Hand (1)
  • Twin Laser Turret (6)
  • Dengar (3)

Or really, your favorite 1-pt EPT (or Adaptability and BMST)

I don't have BMST, and don't plan getting it soon. I played a fee more games and changed the list a bit:

Kath Scarlett; VI, GS, Dengar, EU

Palob; Adapt; ABT, IA; Cloak; Stygium

Ndru; LW, CM, GS, GC

I really like forcing the bump with Palob thanx to his decloak, but I can see the potential of TLT amd Dengar. My fear is it would attract too much aggro and die pretty soon. Wouldn't he?

He should be attracting too much aggro already (and Boba should be protecting him). Take advantage. Let Boba and N'Dru get to work.

Between those 3 pilots, he's the most fragile and most annoying. Make him the star he is.
