Avenger + Suppressor.
Of course, that means the flotillas need to fly towards you, but when that happens, that scatter token is always spent, and he can't use it against that ISD shot.
Killed 3 flotillas that way yesterday. Imp players should try it...
I always forget to use suppressor when I field it.

Yeah both @PT106and @BrobaFetthave his me with the combo lately. It is rough, and not only on flotillas.

If only I had the points to add slicer tools to it!
I have fielded a slicer + suppressor zanti just to name it "Come at me, Bro!" It will definitely be in my list when I play @BrobaFett, just for comedic value....

Thats an overkill in my mind. I encountered Tua-equipped Supressor in one of my games and killed it round 2.
I encountered a Suppressor + Avenger list last weekend in a store championship. I targeted the Suppressor with my Liberty on round 2, crossing right in front of Avenger to do it. I didn't want that combo to affect the game at all...

This is why I run it with Tua/ECM
It's my bully barge. It died exactly once in all the times I have ran it. (thanks for ruining my perfect record Parkdaddy)

The way I see it - I'm always short on points for the christmas tree party. Adding ECM doesn't significantly increase survivability (People would still ram it to death or bomb it to death)

My Liberty would have been in a world of hurt if that Suppressor had Tua on it. I HAD to kill it in order to make a path to get out of the front arc of Avenger. The only weakness I see with adding Tua/ECM besides the point sink it requires, is a ship with Intel to strip the scatter...

Its still a 3hp ship susceptible to ram. ECM doesn't really help against squadron attacks. And in the battle of Supressors there are no winners.

it all depends on the local meta i think. that and how much attention they're paying to what your fleet has on it...
I've flown this a few times and they just didn't process it when they looked at my cards and ended up like , "wait, what?" when it started screwing around with them... by the time they'd invested shots into it, the ISD had already made short work of their fleet.
It's all pretty subjective, but I've had great results lol
I've been flying similar. With Motti, that's 4 HP behind a guaranteed Scatter.
The resources it takes to bring down this little ship mean my real workhorses can get the job done unmolested if the enemy choses to concentrate on it.

This- adding the 4th hp on top of ECM and scatter makes it suprisingly durable.
I have had a LOT of games where it lives with 1 hull no shields and no def tokens.

YUP YUP and it's especially valuable because even 1 turn with your brace flipped against an ISD avenger is enough to sink a game.

I've been flying the "Sanguis Special" so much lately. I love it!
Everyone is afraid of my ISD!
Thanks for the great build.

No problem!
I love that ISD Avenger build. Consistently DEADLY.
Cauae h9 and a acc are just under kill.

I did that in the vassal vc. Not specifically vs flotillas though, more for guarding one isd flank.
Are you deploying it first or last?

I was 2nd player with the ISD-1/suppressor combo and the player picked superior positions so it didn't really matter. Otherwise, I simply deploy it next to the ISD, so anything that comes close to the ISD loses a brace or scatter.

It typically goes down last for me. Setting it down first is too much of a tell for where the ISD will be. Unless I want to feint, and drop it at speed one pointing straight forward right next to a big empty ISD sized hole in my deployment only to drop my ISD at a sharp angle far afield barrelling in at speed 3. Then I can queue up a few navs on suppressor and have it at that sweet "distance 1 in front" spot on turn 3.
Bonus when you get your Avenger in 3 man coverage too, with a flotilla blocking traffic on each side trying to flank and suppressor in the middle forcing them all to exhaust their braces, letting you shoot through the windows at them unobstructed.

Had this combo dropped on me during a kit tourney. Suppresor is a pretty cool title.
Think about how Sloan are going to affect these strategies with blue accuracies on Tie-fighters attacking ships being able to spend tokens. Good luck dodging Tie-fighters with flotillas...
