Hey Lads and Ladettes,

As the title says, without any clickbait BS too... I need some help with StarViper builds.

I love this little ship, but it is more over costed than food at a sports arena. I only want to run one as they are expensive and only one can get the title. I just don't know what to mix it with. I like the normal Guri build ie LW+Title+SJ+AT. That comes in a bit under 40. I have thought about Dengar or Manaroo, I just dont know what flies well with her.

SO!!! Please some help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Arch,

I try to fly Guri aswell. And have the same problem.

I have been using a uboat and a tlt ywing too draw attention away from Guri.

If I may be so bold...

Guri- predator,title sensor jammer,auto thrusters.

Palob - adaptability,TLT

Trandoshan slaver- 4-lom ,zuckuss ,dengar.

I play this one a lot. It is strong against everything.

Fly the slaver right down the throat of their most dangerous ship. Fly palob at a. Bit if a distance but have him suck away a token from something that needs it. ( After the first time, most folks make the poor decision of hunting palob while the rest of the list takes bites out of their hind end.

Palob should die,we don't care about palob. He's bait. If you've done your job you will have traded palob for at least one of their important ships. Then have the slaver do some more damage while iy melts under concentrated fire and voilà!

They are rewarded with an endgame against a probably unhurt super tanky guri.

It's super good. Its great against aces,palpy aces, dengaroos,you name it.

Highly recommended.

The LW/SJ build you've listed is probably one of the most popular Guri builds, and is my favorite. I have had success flying this build in a list with Palob and 4-Lom, as well as another list with Xizor and Palob (if you can't tell, Palob is a staple in most of my scum lists).

If you aren't set on Guri, another decent build is Xizor + VI + Title + FCS + AT. This puts him at at 37 points at PS9, and is a decent ace option for scum. He goes well with Z95s or YV666s, as they can afford to soak up the damage Xizor throws away

Attani Mindlike (AM) Guri is another great option, because she can generate focus tokens for her entire list if her pilot ability activates. My favorite Mindlink Guri list is Guri (AM, Title, SJ, AT, BMST), Palob (AM, TLT, illicit cloak), Manaroo (AM, K4, Unhinged). This list has great synergy, with Palob and Guri both able to create free focus tokens for AM with their abilities.

Cheers for the feedback, I will let you know how I go once I can organise a game.

If you're feeling brave....my friend has been using Dengar with Guri and has had a fair bit of success. Both maxed out with all the toys.

I hava had great succes with a Manaroo, Guri, Palop build. Guri was kept cheap, Autothrusters and mindlink only. She will get her focusfrom mindlink or when boosting in on range 1. Its really great to have the actions freed up like that. It waas not uncommon to have 3-4 focus on Guri in that list.

That's the list you played against me on Vassal some days ago, I was running Poe, Miranda and Green Pilot.

We had a fun game and i won because my list is so old and out of meta that you won't face it in any competitive enviroment, but I confirm it's a strong list and it counters pretty well some of the top tiers list of the moment

If you're going to go with an end-game Guri then I'd recommend going with Lone Wolf instead of predator, then just trying to keep her on the sidelines until it's time to clean things up.

Personally I also prefer Advanced Sensors over Sensor Jammer (boost + s-loops are always sometimes a beautiful thing to behold), though I seem to be mostly on my own with that one...

Hey Lads and Ladettes,

As the title says, without any clickbait BS too... I need some help with StarViper builds.

I love this little ship, but it is more over costed than food at a sports arena.

I have run this Boba-Guri list for a long time (minus the Cloaking Device which obviously got added when it came out) with some pretty good success:

Fett

VI

HLC

Gunner

Seismic Charges

Slave I w/ E.M.

Engine

ID

Guri

Lone Wolf

Virago

Sensor Jammer

Autothrusters

Cloaking Device

I made this specifically to counter Ace lists and have a great record against Palp Aces (a few different variants).

This is a new list I will be running after W9 is officially out:

Fett

VI

Dengar

Mangler

Engine

ID

Slave I w/ EM

Homing Missiles

Seismic Charges

Guri

LW

Seismic Torp

Virago

FCS

Autothrusters

Cloak

The LW/SJ build you've listed is probably one of the most popular Guri builds, and is my favorite. I have had success flying this build in a list with Palob and 4-Lom, as well as another list with Xizor and Palob (if you can't tell, Palob is a staple in most of my scum lists).

Attani Mindlike (AM) Guri is another great option, because she can generate focus tokens for her entire list if her pilot ability activates. My favorite Mindlink Guri list is Guri (AM, Title, SJ, AT, BMST), Palob (AM, TLT, illicit cloak), Manaroo (AM, K4, Unhinged). This list has great synergy, with Palob and Guri both able to create free focus tokens for AM with their abilities.

I've been playing almost that exact list for a bit now and I'm currently 5-0 with it. I've got intel agent instead of BMST since the card isn't out yet (for me).

So far I've lost Manaroo once, and that was the closest game. So far:

100-16 (whisper, inquisitor, X7 delta)

100-16 (2x starviper, 3x Z-95)

100-32 (Vader, RAC w/ Palp)

100-16 (Carnor, 3x FOs w/ Juke, Comms

100-16 (Omega Leader, Vessery, Steele)

Guri hasn't lost more than her shield in any game. She's just too difficult to hurt when you're stealing focus and jamming.

The list often has a scary first engagement, but thrives in a furball. All 3 ships can bump and still end up with 5 actions (TL, 3 free focus from Guri, one extra from Manaroo passing). Opponents just can't overcome that kind of efficiency when they're getting blocked, tokens are being stolen, or enemy TLs on Manaroo are given to whoever isn't in harm's way.

Plus the mental exercise makes this list extremely fun to play.

I like vipers but they really do hurt from their cost, good attack and defence but priced like a squint ace without having the dial.

A mk.ii style illicit that is starvipers only would go a long way, other wise needs a deep discount.

Honestly, I think Guri is a point trap in a lot of ways. Her ability is fantastic and I think you have enough simply with a couple essentials to make her work. Throw in an Elite such as Pred or Lone Wolf, and thrusters if turrets are still around in your area. I just hate paying that extra point for the title when you are already struggling to get value out of the ship, but Adv Sensors and Inertial Dampeners pair well with her if you are really wanting to go all in.

Minimalist build

Guri (30)
Predator (3)
Autothrusters (2)

Total: 35

All-in build

Guri (30)
Predator (3)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Virago (1)

Total: 40

After putting these together, I realized Guri actually seems to really like her new options for Wave 9. Collision Detector means she can really catch someone off guard by rolling or boosting on to debris and grabbing her focus at start of combat to still be threatening, and Black Market Slicer Tools, in the same vain, allows her to use her action for some bonus damage when she is expecting to grab a focus at the start of combat to assure she has a mod during combat still. FCS and BMST seem like a decent enough combo on her.
