Gonna try out an epic scum list now... I'm completely sold on the z95's (love the small band of pirates feel) just not sure about the missile choice. They'd fly together with obviously Ndru on his own. Kath and Guri hang out together same with the hired guns that my friend will be in control of. Playing against rebels and I know my other buddy loves to play Corran Horn with r2d2, e wings, b wings, k wings with tlt and most likely a falcon and a ghost. Any advice would be great!

I really like giving N'Dru VI, Clusters, Chips, and Glitter. Would also consider playing Asajj and maybe Dengar if you have them.

I play competitively in an Epic League that been running for 3 years now. So there is some kind of meta that evolved over time.

I play scum too, and right now the faction's only way to be competitive is via an Attanni Mindlink heavy list. Action economy rules this game. And it's not differant in the epic setup.

Scums have ALOT of excellant PS5 pilots that have an EPT slot. PS5 is a great place to be in epic because you shoot before other factions' generic pilots. Just make sure you have the initiative bid in case you face another scum player.

Now, If I were you, I'd consider switch unhinged astromech to Overclocked R4 on your Hired gun. Every time you spend a focus you can generate another one for a stress. You won't care that your Y-wing are stressed in epic just move them slowly in the back line. They will eventually die anyway. Make their attacks count instead.

Another great option is the Generic PS5 scyck fighter. With attani, heavy scyck title and a mangler canon. At 24 pts each they are very efficient. Those crits will put the hurt on huge ships too.

Unfortunately don't have any atanni mindlinks, nor overclocked astromechs. The syck idea I can get behind and also how you play the y wings is great. I also have a mist hunter and a hwk290. I'll be facing rebels mostly as nobody in my circle wants to play anything but that so...

Never played with a cloaking device but absolutely love the thought of Ndru decloaking, firing and cloaking and getting out of dodge to just turn around, rinse and repeat. He's a beast though and you can make him really offensive I just like to balance it out a little.

Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it.

When we play epic we allow proxies for upgrades. because nobody has enough of everything.

Makes the game wide open to any strategies you want to try.

Have fun !
