So, on Thursday I will finally get my 9th Wave ships. One of the most tempting cards amongst new goods is IG-88D. Finally you don't have to run uninspiring list of double IG's. So below you will find my first try at the list that can use this card in funny and competitve way.

The idea is to use Manaroo ability not always, but in certain situations - for example when IG does S-loop or K-turn. Also with this list it is possible to get 2 evade and focus tokens on IG, and that makes this ship pretty tough nut to crack. Manaroo having title and IG88D on the board is itself pretty tough ship. So when you will decide not to transfer tokens it can be suprisingly hard hitting and tanky ship. Of course it is just theory for now, list will require extensive playtesting.

So, here it is:

Manaroo is still only a support ship here, and she will have issues playing on her own. I think I would exchange Punishing One to a Z-95. For one more ship and blocking opportunities.

She's got 3 dice and can have Focus/TL or Focus/Evade or TL/Evade... she's not pure support.

That looks like a really nice build. Loving it! Don't see any wasted points. Very efficient!

I would think Manaroo will have to fight more than run though cause you dont have the Dengar double tap, but she is built for fighting, so all good.

I'm not a fan of crackshot on ships that you plan on lasting awhile, so I may throw VI instead or for even more damage like fearlessness: Range 2-3 HLC, Range 1, 4 dice and an auto hit. Scouts you want range 1, so boosting and getting that evade, and then fearlessness with 4 dice will tear them apart.

Will be playtesting this ASAP!

Nice job!

Other thoughts: Drop painbot for unhinged, add BMST to manaroo. Leaves you with 1 pt. Lone Wolf on brobot for more Dengaroo-esque?
