Assaj and IG-88

By rcrowejr1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Not sure if anyone has posted anything like this but wanted to get thoughts on the following, I thought it was simple with good synergy:

Asajj Ventress (47) Lancer-class Pursuit Craft (37),

Push the Limit (3),

K4 Security Droid (3),

Black Market Slicer Tools (1),

Shadow Caster (3)

IG88-B (52) Aggressor (36),

Push the Limit (3),

Fire-Control System (2),

Heavy Laser Cannon (7),

Glitterstim (2),

Autothrusters (2)

I would add the IG-88D crew, and switch out B for either A or C. If you go C, add EU to Asajj.

I've been using this list:

Ventress w/ PTL, K4 droid, BMST & engine = 48

IG88C w/ PTL, advanced sensors, autothrusters, BMST & HLC = 52

100

I would not take IG88D crew. K4 droid is insanely good on Ventress, and given the fact that the list is relatively not very punchy, (only 2 ships afterall), you want Ventress hitting as hard as possible (and K4 does that). K4 is not just for offense though----it frees you up to use BMST or boost as needed and still have action economy. Besides, I find that Ventress is not that easy to attack if you fly her right. She can kite much better than IG can in fact. I originally was using IG88B, but I found he was dying too quick and switched to C because he is more durable.

Double BMST is quite strong against PTL aces, so it definitely reduces the number of bad matchups.
