The good, the bad, and the ugly (Teroch, Solus, Guri)

By All Shields Forward, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to help a friend with a Protectorate fighter list. Don't know if something like this has been posted.

Basically Teroch is there for Fel and X7 disruption and for generally being a cool dude.

Guri is the muscle. Good for hitting large based ships. Deadeye and glitterstems make the APT get some hurt in.

Solus is everyone's friend. Bodyguard helps whoever needs it the most, and the pilot ability helps get focus to fuel bodyguard on red turns.

Thoughts?

Fun list. Guri needs Guidance Chips or a point for Munitions failsafe on those torps, otherwise the Dice Gods will lay you low...

edit - actually, nevermind since you just Glitterstim that round.

Even with glitterstim that GC isn't a bad shout. First of all,, its free. Second, a 3 reed dice attack on the SV makes it better. No downside to it at all.

I forgot to add GC! My mistake, I had intended it to be there.

Yeah glitterstims and GC guarantees a crit and 3 hits with the APT

Glitterstims and GC are just a great combo. I use it on scum Z-95 missile swarms and it can be amusing how strong of an alpha it is.

Guri really needs autothrusters!

Anyway, do you ever think about a Mindlink in this scenario? I say it just for Guri, she will brings focus easely to everyone.

Maybe Old Teroch instead of Souls?

PS: you don't really need APT! If you want a punch, and don't run Attanni Mindlink, put Fearlessness on her (keeping AT). And don't forget the system slot.

Old Torach is there. He's the first ship.

Deadeye more reliably gets the APT off and signals her target less. Without APT, mindlink would be better, but honestly at that point I'd probably drop Guri.

I see where you are going with fearlessness. Though personally I'm not a big fan. Especially without Concord Dawn. It doesn't reward skilled flying. Having to also be in their arc seems like a step price to get it to trigger.

Why drop guri, is the clue for Mindlink :-/

sorry, I meant FenRau

I think the APT/glitterstim/deadeye is a cool combo. Is the Starviper the only one that can do it? On the 27th the Firespray can't take deadeye, it was the only other I could thing of (with Slave 1 title). Am I missing one?

I believe so. K fighter comes close but has a missile instead of a torpedo.

My mates like stress builds so mindlink is hard to use with my friends. I do like the card though.

The advantage of Solus in my build vs Fen is Solus's ability to get a focus on a k turn. That way he can keep powering bodyguard for Torach or Guri. I'm a fan of pincer k turns.

That's my reasoning at least.

Kad Solus can't bodyguard Guri. It says they have to have a higher pilot skill, he is 6, Guri is 5. Gotta drop deadeye for VI to make it work.

So I know this is abig departure, but it keeps the spirit alive with Guri/Deadeye/APT/Glitterstim but how about this. And yes, I know I throw a BMST Z into every scum list I make, I should probably stop.
