Thin Brobots and Kaa'to

Hi! I bought my pair of brobots a few months ago but i haven't used them yet, as I've been so busy enjoying my attani builds. I want to try them out, and was thinking about "thinning" them a bit to try to squeeze Kaa'to in, to provide focuses for them in an Attani build. Points are VERY scarce, so It's quite a challenge. This is what I've got so far.

IG-88B, Attani, FCS, TB, Mangler, Title

IG-88C, Attani, FCS, TB, Title

Kaa'to, Attani

100p

The plan would be to get a focus for all ships with Kaa'to and boost to evade with both bots (if necessary). Attack with B's Tractor Beam and probably miss first shot (normally small ships don't want to get hit by a TB if rocks are nearby), trigger FCS, and attack again with the mangler, with TL and Focus. C could then fire his primary, and if he misses, try to at least get the ship on a rock or something.

Sadly not enough points for a 2nd Mangler, nor my trustworthy AT...

Another option

IG-88B, Attani, FCS, Mangler, Title

IG-88C, Attani, C. Detector, Mangler, Title

Kaa'to, Attani

100p

You lose FCS, and both Tractors, but gain a Mangler.

What do you guys think? Is it viable? Is it just for casual play? Which one seems better?

Any advice is welcome!

If you insist on using B the second version seems better. Might want to consider replacing him with D, though, not buying any cannons and using Autothrusters.

I think B is the one that gets things done, with the ability to strip tokens first and attack again. D could be fun, and a bit more slippery, but i don't know it's the right call. I'll have to try it out soon.

Thanx!

You could use the boost and the segnors loop IGGYs might be better in terms of what points you have available

Only problem with this is the lack of damage output on the ions, especially a problem against large base ships which need two connected shots (which is only 2 damage)

Fantastic Idea

How often do you do more than 1 damage to Dash, Dengar, Manaru, or Rey with a 3 die attack?

I'm definately trying this one out. Ion Cannons are indeed scary

Tried the Ion list this week with nice results and lots of fun. Check it out here:
