First Scum Build

By Radar159, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Recently got into scum and have some new ships on the way, I came up with a build. So just wanted to know peoples opinion on it:

100 points Pilots ------

Mandalorian Mercenary (38) Firespray-31 (35), Push the Limit (3)

Fenn Rau (32) Protectorate Starfighter (28), Fearlessness (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

Old Teroch (30) Protectorate Starfighter (26), Fearlessness (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

I would rather use Push The Limit on Fenn Rau. The fact that he is Pilot Skill 9, push the limit will help him get in better position to arc dodge or take better shots. His dial has more greens too, you will have a hard time dealing with the stress from ptl with a firespray's dial.

that leaves you with one point left on the Mandalorian Merc... Look at 4-lom crew to fill this spot. You'll be able to push some damage past those tokens.

Fearlessness is not worth even 1 point. Its dependent on your opponent to fly stupid in order for it to proc. Any upgrade that is in the control of your opponent to activate is generally weak (take for example, deadman's switch-----how often do you see that? Right, because your opponent controls when it can activate, and therefore it never does).

Here's a list that I think has potential with the same ships:

Mando Merc w/ predator, tail gunner & glitterstim = 42

Fenn Rau w/ push the limit, title & autothrusters = 34

Zealous Recruit w/ autothrusters = 22

98

Use the Recruit for blocking or flanking if you are using Fenn as your bait. Mando Merc is a bit overpriced for what he brings (compared to a contracted scout) but more durable thanks to evade action and glitterstim. If you don't like or have tail gunner, you can replace it with Tactician or 4-LOM.

Thanks for the feedback
