Ventress/TLT stress fest(list crafting)

By Default02, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey all. I have been trying to find a list that works with ventress and that I also like! I came up with this list and wanted to see what feed back I could get. I am willing to swap ships(other than ventress) anyways here's the list! Thanks!

Asajj Ventress (37)

Lone Wolf (2)

Tactician (2)

Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Pretty straight forward. Stress as much as I can and laying some hate with the TLTs and using BMST if a target is stressed and close to death. Also I would be taking all debris fields for more stress chances.

Edited by Default02

I did play an Asajj + 2 thug list when it first came out on Vassal so I have a couple of thoughts.

Firstly I found the list worked so much better when everything stuck close together with asajj protecting the range 1 holes of the TLTs so I absolutely wouldn't take lone wolf on her (PTL preferably) Tactician works fairly well (its not the meta choice - but being able to double stress someone at range 2 is good) but I don't rate its interaction with BMST too much as if you manage to double stress and then manage to hit with BMST he will clear the second stress with the green (which is no better than having just single stressed him in the first place, as you will take your BMST first, clear the stress and he will waste his green - although it does work slighly better if you miss with BMST). That said, I generally don't like BMST on her without a way to increase her action economy as she will die quickly/fail to hit much without some tokens.

If you are looking to stress your opponent as much as possible, it may be counter productive to start blowing up debris. Those 2 points could be spent on R4 aggromech which really increases the damage output of the TLTs.

Thank you for the response! I have been playing around with the list a lot more and I agree with you on those points. Ventress will need the two actions to really survive any kind of focused attacks on her. One list I have also been playing around with is using Sabine wren over ventress. He is a bit more tanky and can still throw out tracker beam tokens for the TLTs to put some damage out. Also with this list I could use Sabine to block more with his lower PS. Anyways here is the list.

Sabine Wren (Scum) (35)

"Gonk" (2)

Glitterstim (2)

Glitterstim (2)

Experimental Interface (3)

Shadow Caster (3)

Syndicate Thug (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

R4 Agromech (2)

So the thugs took the aggro mech as suggested which is nice for more damage. The idea with Sabine is block and throw trackers on other ships for the TLTs to clean up. He's running gonk and EI so that I can evade or move the mobile ARC when I need to and still start stacking shield tokens. Now this could deter the other player from targeting her and go after the y wings which could be a good thing because I would have the camped shield tokens. Now in the event she does get targeted I could ether move the mobile arc or if it's already where it needs to be I could evade then pop a glitterstim for damage output.

Now I do have another build for Sabine. The y wings are the same.

Sabine Wren (Scum) (35)

K4 Security Droid (3)

Glitterstim (2)

Gyroscopic Targeting (2)

Shadow Caster (3)

This one isn't a regen but I can use greens to target lock and if I move at a 3 change my mobile ARC and then evade and I could pop a stim for max damage. Sorry fornwall of text. I just really like the shadow caster and I just finally got around to picking one up.

Cheers!

My GoTo list even before Heaver took something similar to worlds:

Asajj

+PtL (always, this is second to none EPT on Lancer)

+Gyro (i like not wasting an action to turn the turret, and you can setup some nice baits with it)

+Shadow Caster (even softer target for TLTs)

+Glitterstims(you never know when you gonna need em)

And now one of 2 options:

either (you always have to take TL as one action with this build)

-Lats Razzi (Lancer with good flying and Lats enters super-tank-mode)

-Black Market Slicer Tools (no need for Lats? Some stressed ace? Boom 1 undershield hit to you kind sir)

or (your actions are free with this one but more damage may slip by)

-Dengar (full blown actionless offensive!)

accompanied by 2xThug + TLT + Unhinged.

Or a small variation of above that also gave me a lot of fun:

Asajj + PtL + Shadow Caster + Gyro + Lats + BMST

Thug + TLT + Unhinged

Palob + TLT + Zuckus - you propably gonna get actions from stealing anyway thats why Zuckuss, with good flying keep em at range 2, steal token, Zuckus TLT and fly home :)
