Ok, everyone this is a joke but with what is going on in worlds does the scum version need a nerf?

Good for the Firespray! About time they mae their strengths known.

Saw they were 5-1, so maybe we have a chance now...

I bought a second firespray some time back for a duel list. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet. What is the list?

Only if you have a way of buffing the Imperial ones while nerfing scum. How about making Slave 1 title Imperial Only ?

Seriously the nerfing Imperials are nerfed enough as is. The nerf herding scum needs a serious nerf. They can make one of the worst ships in the game 4-0.

Boba Fett -- Fearlessness, 4-LOM, Homing Missile, Slave-1 title, Extra Munitions, Guidance Chips

Kath Scarlet -- Expertise, Heavy Laser Cannon, Dengar

Wait. Hold up. EXPOSE?!

WAY TO BURRY THE LEAD ON THAT ONE!

I called this post on the gold Squadron stream. Should've put money on it

'sprays are awesome. Julian to win worlds!

I love firesprays. I'm in the minority in that I fly them regularly AND do well with them.

But I'm not gonna kid myself, while they aren't a "bad" ship, they do pale to most if not all other large ships for what they can do for their cost.

Even though I win more than lose with them, they are usually my downfall in competitions when I lose.

Whether it's getting arc dodged in the blind spots, getting whittled down by the squishy 2 green dice, or not having enough options with the average dial or lack of good upgrade slots.

Currently the Lancer is the closest comparison as the base stats and actions are basically the same for the same cost. But for the same cost the Lancer has a much better dial and more importantly a mobile instead of fixed aux arc.

The firespray is basically overpaying for a ton of upgrade slots even though many go unused and it's lacking the ones it really wants (more crew, systems).

Pretty much 100% accurate.

Finished 5-2 made the cut for the final rounds on sunday.

We may not need Xwing 2.0 but good lordy we could use some updated dials for older ships.

Yup. Been saying this for a while now.

I'd like to see the Firespray move backwards. ?

Well the problem is that people don't try out these lists and end up playing with "meta" lists rather than just discovering new things. So sad!

I try them, and my poor performance with them warps the meta.

Do, or do not. There is no try. Must go get your ships out and unlearn what you have learned.

No EU? I too like to live dangerously.

Hi, I flew this list at Worlds. Ended up with a 5-0 streak, then lost to Nand Torfs (2nd place) and Gerry Russell (Top 4). Then on sunday I lost to a rematch with Steffen Kaehler ranked 24th (I won against him on day one ).

This is an aggressive list focused on alpha strike, and continuous 4d attacks with heavy dice modification. Why ran away with EU when you want to hit hard and kill before they attack.

As markcsoul says the ship has lots of weakness. The challenge is to plan where to fly. I won against Kevin Leintz because I delayed my attack and force him to fly to a narrow area of the table and lucky dice rolls.

Great people everyone, cant wait to fly again with you guys. Lots of experience received.

Please nerf the firesprays, scum loves to fly illegally modified stuff.

Thanks for taking them to worlds, yours was by far the most enjoyable match I watched all weekend!

With your experience at worlds would you change anything about your list?

I guess not. I have a year and a half flying dual firesprays. I have won on 2016 Regional Tournament in Mexico and made Top 4 in Nationals with a dual Homing Missile Glitterstim Guidance Chips List.

I flew a similar list in Kashik but made 4-3.

Last week I made a last minute change on Kath from Homing Missile, Scavenger Crane and Guidance Chip to a simple HLC.

I have been thinking on moving down the Homing Missile to Concussive and adding Inertial Dampeners. but it would lose effectiveness vs Defenders, Whispers and Soontir Fels. No good enough.

Another option is using scavenger Crane, cluster missiles, fearlessness and guidance chips for a dual 4 dice attack at range one, but I prefer a consistent 4 dice attack at any range.

I guess I need to stick with this list and focus on training on board control and target selection.

Goldsquadron videos are up.

Seriously. The comparison between the Shadow Caster and the Firespray is just painful for the 'spray. Imagine what Boba would be like with a green turn...
