Why take asymmetrical brobots?

By Chief Hugh, in X-Wing

Yeah I kinda think if you know what you're doing you can make things happen with two glittercrack bots.

Dual aggressors are strong. Not sure why they are being portrayed as a "struggling" list. They also just got some very nice illicit to add to their tool belt.

They get no easy matchups. When you feel like you need to fight hard every game it might feel that the list is struggling.

Also, IMO at least, Brobots are slightly weaker than both triple scouts and palp aces. BMST might change that against Palp aces though, because it gives you a fighting change in the dreaded 1 Brobot vs. 1 ace left end game scenario.

This is true, but again, i think this all goes back to the ability of the pilot flying the list. But your right, all match ups need to be played technically sound when running a bot list, and i guess that could cause some to feel a struggle.

Trip scouts would be my biggest struggle since BMST was released, but luckily locally i dont have to see that list, at least not yet.

BMST is a game changer against palp aces, especially when you go for the initiative bid on VI bots.

But to be fair, my local meta is a bit behind the tournament scene meta.

TIE swarm is a pretty easy matchup for Aggressors. Beyond that, though...
