brobots

By frisco, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been running Glitter, crack, fcs, hlc on B&C pretty much all tournament season leading up to Worlds. It's a great take all comers list if you know how to fly it.

I've won 3 SCs and 1 Regional with it and went 6-2 at Worlds.

I think i know the answer to this but, do you run autothrusters on them? lol that puts this list at 100 points and makes more sense IMO. i have never even been to a regional tourney so im just trying to learn!

I would say yes. I can't think of any reason why you might want to ditch AT on the bots.

So i have been really getting an itch to play some bro bots. So here is a list that I have created that i think might be fun, maybe even competitive. please offer up any advice you may have!

IG-88C + Fearlessness + Accuracy Corrector + Autoblaster + Seismic Charges + Inertial Dampeners + Autothrusters + IG-2000


IG-88B + Crack Shot + Fire-Control System + Heavy Laser Cannon + Glitterstim + Autothrusters + IG-2000

Assymetrical list, B stays to the outside and C rushes in for the knife fight. I am questioning fearlessness as it is hard to pull off consistently, but awesome when it happens. I have also considered trying to find room for sensor jammer on C, or upgrading to a nastier bomb. lastly, with C's whole purpose being getting in close, is there something better than AT? they are really only there for approach and when I have to change tactics and stay at range 3.....and well TLT's ARE becoming a thing again.

Thoughts?

This is what I fly for brobots, I've got about 70-80% consistency against aces and variations of party buses or dengaroo's. Its fun, can drop tractor beam for initiative bid although it doesnt really matter.
Idea is boost and focus since 9 greens. I fly with stress clouds, if they ever push against me i use slicer tools to do damage through shields (i've finished a lot of games from that 1 damage) apart from that you just gotta learn when to do what, ive gotten blocked to death a few times and overall i don't really notice the difference of not having glitterstims.. high consistent damage
