Parattani, Manaroo out, who's in

By CubsFanSean23, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Well with the recent change to Manaroo only passing at Range 1, who should replace her in Parattani. Or, is it still Manaroo and just keeping her in formation with either Asajj or Fenn in order to pass that focus? Thoughts?? This new FAQ is crazy.

Why? She still can work fine in parattani. If you don't like the change though, you could run any number of things including a Scout (giving a 2 point initiative bid for Fenn)

I feel like she can work still but I don't really fly this in formation, she is there to give a double focus to whomever needs it, now you're forced to choose if that makes sense and if that's the case why not find another puncher.......

forgot to follow.....

I do wonder if we'll see Manaroo replaced with a Scout (maybe with Intel Agent). Being able to give up initiative against other Parattanni lists to have your Fenn and Ventress going after theirs while having your Jumpmaster still moving first and able to setup blocks might be a big enough deal in mirror matches that it might be worth giving up the occasional focus token from Manaroo.

Palob with TLT is a good replacement, a Parattanni list that used him instead of Manaroo placed well even before the errata.

Can confirm this is a good list. Lost to it in a recent Regional. Fenn and Teroch act like pincers in flanking terms: both equally dangerous so which do you focus on? Asajj acts like a controlling glue whilst being able to take some hits in the process. Even without the title the Fang is decently durable.

Isn't Fenn less of a force without those free evades from the title?

Guri

Guri runs with manaroo, right?

The list still works - it just requires more thoughtful flying as you have to keep Manaroo close to your fang(s), and therefore she's at risk.

The problem before was that she was too much reward for not enough risk. The way I see it is the risk-reward balance is a bit more even now.

I will run this Mindlink list, but I am not sure, how best to use the remaning points and if I should keep Manaroo or take a scout. Any suggestions?

Fenn Rau, Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, Title (32)
Guri, Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters (33)
Manaroo, Attanni Mindlink (28)

My own ideas for using the last 7 points are:
R5-P8, Feedback Array on Manaroo + 2 points iniative bid
Proton Tropedoes, Boba Fett on Manaroo + 2 points iniative bid
R5-P8, Hull Upgrade on Manaroo + 1 points iniative bid

How would you use the remaining 7 points?

Unhinged Astromech + Plasma Torpedoes+ Extra Munitions + Guidance Chips on Manaroo. Leaves a 1 point bid.
