wonderful mindlink list that works!

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

How does this deal with the predicted resurgence in stress control?

as said, they only get one from mindlink so its not that bad. all exept guri have good greens. and often you only need one of your guys to shed stress and take focus next turn. or have guri near an enemy. they. can all do hard 1s white and stuff so often you just push through stress.

But yeah, when you place those three stress on all your guys you go; awwwwwwrhg : )

I think there will be two main types of mindlink lists at worlds: Same PS 3-4 ship builds and 'feeder' builds

PS5 will probably be the most common same PS level because of all of the generics, TPVs, Gand Findsmen, and Concord Dawn Aces, yes please. I think these are harder to use.

Feeder builds relying on Manaroo or Palob are also really solid because they can be built cheaply and will almost always proc. Guri is okay, but usually clocks in 5-10 points more, so she needs to contribute more to the attack than Palob or Roo. The job here is usually to buff another ship, like Rau, Talonbane, or Xizor so they are more action efficient.

Do you guys think one style is inherently better?

Yeah, she is expensive. haven't used her in a loooong time. But here she is just a star. when everything runs smoothly (and they do more often than you'd think with this list) she provides that last focus and all of the sudden it feels as if every one in your list has ptl with no stress penalty. its quite something.

Would love to go down to concord ace and slap some more stuff on guri but the list has a ps problem and Fenn provides some sort of answer for that.

Is anyone running this Kavil build in a mindlink list? I need more data about how it performs.

Kavil / Attanni Mindlink / Unhinged Astromech / TLT / vectored thrusters (34 points)

like it. needs more dorsal, though.

I don't have any data or perspective on how much better TLT is over Dorsal. Dorsal is of course a great option if you need to save 3 points.

I'm wondering about TLT Kavil because it feels like a good anti-defender ship.

4-dice TLT w/ focus against 3-agility w/ focus evade = 0.9 damage & 67% chance of stripping both tokens

The feeder build is probably stronger as such.

A third option is a combination of the two, like this list for example:

Fenn: AM, Title, AT

2x Concord dawn ace; AM, AT

Ka'ato; AM

PILOTS 100 points

Guri [Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters] (33)

Fenn Rau [Attanni Mindlink, Concord Dawn Protector, Autothrusters] (32)

Contracted Scout [Proton Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, K4 Security Droid, Attanni Mindlink, Guidance Chips] (35)

played it yesterday. packs more punch than you should think and is super fun and versatile. Throw guri and Fenn into the knife fight and try to get some protons off from the distance, great action economy and if you have to take a community stress or get one from your opponent the ships all have decent greens to shed it or can even just get focus tokens on top of stress tokens. it works very well.

beat a chewie list two times and lost narrowly after two hours to new poe and rey.

Did Guri work without many upgrades? Without FCS or Predator she seems week. Did it work well?

Why is there a Contracted Scout instead of Manaroo? Seems like dropping K4 and upgrading to her would really improve the list IMO. Manny can take TLs as her action without K4 most of the time, since Guri will give her a focus in the combat phase. Same with Fenn. Also allows you to token up better on whichever ace is in trouble.

Yikes!? What is a necro-post in Star Wars speak? Is this the work of a Sith Lord?

My November prophecy is that a European Parattani list wins worlds.

I'm that good.
