Brobots

By Epixca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Let's talk Brobots. Everyone knows the most popular build is probably this one:

-A

CS

Glitterstim

FCS

HLC

AT

Title

-B

CS

Glitterstim

FCS

HLC

AT

Title

But I had another idea, what if you used Electronic Baffle. Use the Glitterstim and take a damage instead of a stress. This opens up the option of doing a white maneuver and an action, or an S-Loop on your next turn! As for the extra two points, you could give them Tractor Beam or even a bomb. The two points extra can be used for a number of things. Anyone like my idea? Have any ideas for those extra two points?

I still don't like A. We see a lot of 2- or 3-ship lists, so the maximum regen per game is 2. If you evade and cancel a hit, that is equal to a shield. I think you'll get much more out of C's free evade than A's shield regen.

But I think the rest of your idea is good. I love Electronic Baffle. It's a very fun card. The other thing to be wary about with Electronic Baffle in an IG-88 list is that you bring yourself closer to half health, so it might be the difference between half points or no points for your opponent. I suppose that's one plus for IG-88A instead of IG-88C; if you do go to half health, IG-88A will bring it back. IG-88C just tries to keep you from getting to half health in the first place.

What should I use with my last two points?
