Help/criticism on another Scum Build

By Archangelspiv, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi Everyone,

With Biggs and stresshogs coming back into vogue I was thinking on how to circumvent the Biggs ability. Naturally I resorted to ordinance but I thought I would come here for some opinions.

Fenn has Plasmas to knock off all the shields, hopefully, then Kavil can unleash a Proton doing a few hits and at least one crit. Then either the target is dead or N'dru can finish off the target with his clusters or a sneaky shot from his blasters. If I am flying against a Biggs list, hopefully the main threat will be dead which will allow Fenn to clean up and do what he does best.

FENN/KAVIL/N'DRU

I reckon this has legs. With a deal of practice, of course. You mention a Blaster on N'dru, but listed a Crane? Hotshot Blaster is definitely better, given how fast N'dru generally pops.

I wonder if perhaps something like a Mangler Scyk might be a solid replacement for N'dru? Loses a bit of the alpha strike, but gains a little survivability, maneuverability, and long-term punch.

I think your list needs a few tweaks. What about something like this?

Does that have enough damage? Also, what if someone is using TLT? Also, why IG-88D?

That's more like a complete overhaul as opposed to a few tweaks. The inclusion of IG-88D and the naked HWK make it look a Fab's randomly generated list.
