Best upgrades for Asajj with 5p?

By Zazaa, in X-Wing

Have little challenge for people to make "best" Asajj build with only 5p.

I made few options here. Asajj: PTL(3) and Latts Razzi(2) or Fearlessness(1), Latts Razzi(2) and Intial dampeners(1).

I'm trying to get offensive Asajj and/or Defensive. With only few points for her I would imagine that Defensive build would work as offensive because it makes her live longer. :ph34r:

PTL and Latts and you're good.

If you have the points, EU is good too.

Though of course, if you're flying a Mindlink list, Mindlink, Latts, and a bid is the best. XD

Definitely PtL and Latts. It's all you need to be ridiculously tanky.

Of course, if you prefer being really annoying, Shadow Caster and Latts is good too.

I did run Asajj before in one tournament with PTL, Latts and Gyros, it was pretty darn tanky ship.

Planning to run her with Dengar.. Tried few different variations, but I like the Expertise and K4.

JumpMaster 5000: · Dengar (33)
Expertise (4)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Extra Munitions (2)
Guidance Chips (0)
K4 Security Droid (3)
· Punishing One (12)
Unhinged Astromech (1)

Personally I like the Imperial Faction upgrade, where you actually care which way your ship is facing. ;P

Have you met my good friend, Admiral Chiraneau? :P

OP: Absolutely PtL + Latts. Tanky, self-sufficient, and would make an excellent harassment piece while Dengar wreaks havoc.

Admiral Chiraneau? That's a name I've not heard in a long time. Before the dark times, before Attanni.

Hey, Asajj cares which way she's facing... just less so than most ships.

Well and for Dengar to make some real damage out you pay 12p for his tittle.

I never gave so much thought for Asajj that she became so much better after Mindlink lists started to pop up like mushrooms in the rain. Now she can infect whole list with stress through the mindlink spam and it will give her evade for everyone who suffered stress.

I never had problem with turrets, obviously action based system would have been so much better, but it is bit late for that.. :ph34r:

Having seen the action based system in action on the Caster, I'm unconvinced. In practice the difference between the mobile arc and a plain-old PWT is mostly negligible.

But it is still an action. It can be paid off with PTL or other action economic upgrades. I don't want to make this topic of the PWT or other issues with X-Wing.

Would Fearlessness work for Asajj well? I'm pretty sure that PTL is solid upgrade, done it before and it was last to die.

I flew PTL Latts Asajj before..it's..borderline disgusting in terms of tankiness. Put her alongside determination hull upgrade Tel and you can have a list called Thic as Phuc.

It becomes even tankier against mindlink lists where you get to poison whole list with stress.

My first tournament with her was pretty good, she was always last to die in my squad..

I mean, in that configuration she defends like Rey with C3P0 + evade title + Finn without the jankiness.

I've flown Chiraneau since Parattani. Chiraneau's pretty good in a Parattani meta; hotcop gunner vader MURDERS Fenn, and once you've done that your wingman out PSes the other two.

Took me forever to overcome Vader, he literally broke my Fenn every single time! It felt borderline unfair :D

Oh yeah, and to be on topic, PTL/Latts if you just have 5 points on naked Assaj in a non-Mindlink list. Priority then for me is 1 point: RIgged Chute. 2 points: Gryo Targetting, 4 points: Engine.

I'm almost inclined to try Countermeasures/Crane too, for impossible to kill Assaj.

I would love to try Countermeasures on Asajj, that would make her very tough to kill if used with PTL+Latts! Might try wiggle some points around and see if I can make it happen.

It's expensive though. You're talking about 47 points in a PS6 ship.

I did quick test pointwise in my squadron builder and came with same conclusion. If in this particular list I'm trying this, it will drop pretty much those torps away and not sure if that is worth of having one ? ship.

The trouble with the investment is that Assaj has a tough time punching damage through on her own; she's not that amazing as an endgame ship, and Countermeasure/Crane doesn't help with punching damage through.

I tend to run her as a troll blocker and aim to have her higher-PS wingman/men (usually Dengar at the moment) flanking.

I run Asajj at 50 points and she is absolutely worth it. (PtL, Latts, title, EU, plus whatever 1pt illicit I feel like.)

Didn't stop Tom Reed make Top-16 of Worlds last year with double PTL Casters. They're very good.

Oh definitely. I got slammed by them at Yavin.

@Oldpara did it. 3 points worth of Attani Mindlink and Latts Razzi.
