Xizor

By Epixca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Which is better on Xizor? VI or Predator.

And on a separate note, what is the best Xizor and Guri list you can think of? I love flying both together, and I am shot on ideas.

For Xizor, it depends entirely on what else is in your list. If hunting aces is his job, VI is the answer. If Xizor is a workhorse and you have another answer for aces, Predator.

This is a Starviper inclusive list that I'm considering

Fenn Rau (28)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)
Guri (30)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Manaroo (27)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
K4 Security Droid (3)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)
Total: 98
Mainly I'm intruiged by the Manaroo + FenN Rau portion of the list and I've been trying to figure out the best candidate for the last slot. I feel like Guri, Talonbane, Palob, and even Serissu are viable candidates.
In this list Manaroo is Palpatine who can block, Fenn Rau is the PS9 ace with a 2pt bid who handles other aces (ideally), and Guri is the workhorse who can sometimes net the entire team a total of 4 focus tokens (with ability stacking from Manaroo) without ever actually taking an action.

What about a squad using both Xizor and Guri?

Err....probably this, I guess:

Prince Xizor (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Virago (1)
Guri (30)
Predator (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Binayre Pirate (12)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Binayre Pirate (12)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Total: 98
Guri flanks while Xizor and the Z-95s try to joust it up. After the Z-95s explode, Xizor tries to capitalize on PS9 movement with the FCS to seal the deal. The Slicer Tools try to gain you some traction against PtL users.

Gotta VI the prince.

List up, or:

JumpMaster 5000: Contracted Scout (25)

Adaptability (Decrease) (0)

Intelligence Agent (1)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

StarViper: · Prince Xizor (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Fire Control System (2)

StarViper: · Guri (30)

Predator (3)

Autothrusters (2)

-- TOTAL ------- 99/100p. --

Use the Contracted Scout for Xizor, use it as a supreme blocker.

If you could scout a feedback then it would really be a supreme blocker. What about crack shot or lone wolf for Guri?

I tried it with Feedback, but because is just 1 Uboat, it can get wrecked really fast. So I prefer doing a 0, than help my enemy to bring it down.

Anti Pursuit Laser can work pretty well, instead of Feedback Array, imho.

Also trying to sort out this puzzle. I've tried Palob, but I'm a huge fan of how he flies, and most of the people in my scene know how to counter him very well.

You can fit Zuckuss with mindlink and title into a 97 point build alongside Manny and Fen. Or, you can fit a Gand Findsman with Link/FCS/Title and run 2 plasma torps on Manaroo for 98. In my experience, Mindlink is great on the G1-A, makes it a very reliable hitter.

I haven't tested it, but my instinct is that if the list passes focus tokens around you want to be able to make them work for you defensively. To that end, I've kind of excluded anything without at least 2 agility.

I flew this before Wave 8.
