Starvipers

By Epixca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am really needing help. Here is my previous squad.

-Xizor

VI

FCS

AT

Glitterstim

Title

-Guri

Predator

AT

-Palob

Lightning Reflexes

Gonk

Autoblaster Turret

1 Pt initiative bid.

But I don't think it will work anymore. I really like the idea of using Xizor, Guri, and another ship. I am not a fan of the whole, Biayre swarm with Xizor. My favorite list I have every seen in X-Wing history, is this one. I don't know, something just connected with me.

Prince Xizor, flying a StarViper (31)
Predator (3)
Virago Title (1)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Autothrusters (2)

Guri, flying a StarViper (30)
Predator (3)
Autothrusters (2)

Serissu, flying a M3-A Scyk Interceptor (20)
Swarm Tactics (2)

I love it! I don't want to use his exact squad lists, plus I don't even has a Scyk, but I want something along these lines, any advice? Please answer!

The reason I am rethinking the squad is this. I was facing a Ghost, Phantom, K-Wing list, and almost lost! It wasn't even a competitive list! I was down to just Xizor vs. all of his ships on low health. I won in the end, but it really freaked me out.

... Anyone?

I flew in the Vassal league a Palob, Manaroo, Guri list to great effect. The idea was that Manaroo passed focus and TL to Guri freeing up her actions for boosts and barrel rolls. Palob stole focus from ships targeting Guri making her Sensor Jammer work even better. Problem was, the list could fall apart easily. You either won big, or lost fast.

The problem with the StarViper is that it is at where the Defender was a year or so ago. It's a great ship but to get a tanky Guri on the board it runs at about 40 points, give or take a few. Which is expensive for a PS 5 ship. I love Vipers and I hope they get the Defender love soon, I just don't think running 2 together is healthy in a Scum list st the moment.
