Kath, Fenn, & Inaldra

By Tbetts94, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Test (99)

Inaldra (14) - M3-A "Scyk" Interceptor
Attanni Mindlink (1), "Light Scyk" Interceptor (-2)

Fenn Rau (32) - Protectorate Starfighter
Attanni Mindlink (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

Kath Scarlet (53) - Firespray-31
Attanni Mindlink (1), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Dengar (3), Andrasta (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

I really want to run the Firespray at the upcoming store champ, I've already made Top 4 at last weekend's one, so just want a fun list that's Tier 2 and could probably get a 3-2 record maybe 4-1 if lucky.

Thoughts?

Inaldra might not be the ideal choice. The title means she's DOA, and mostly generating focus till she pops, all the more swift when she uses her ability. Once.

Maybe Sunny would squeeze a little more juice our of the lemon before she died. The extra point could be a bid against other fenns or you could throw a rigged chute on kath, which comes in handy more often than you'd think.

Have you played Inaldra yet? She's the cheapest Focus factory you can get and has already won 3 store champs and has had more success than any other pilot so far. All she does is three banks around the board and running away, but lets your other ships take different actions, very much like a Dengaroo style of play.

I won a store championship two weeks ago with Kath, but I went with just relentless damage as opposed to trickery.

Kath: Expertise, HLC, Dengar

Ketsu: Push the limit, Shadow caster title, K4, Rigged chutes (never used it, it could be replaced!)

The combination of Ketsu putting 2 tractor beams on someone, sometimes putting them on a rock in the process, then following up with a fully modded HLC from Kath shot worked wonders. Crazy flying in a final matchup of Kath vs Omega Leader both at 2 hulls got me the win, it could have gone either way at that point, but the rear shot paid off with a direct hit making it through OL's tokens.

It doesn't fit your template, but it works. I've flown Fenn a lot and needed something new and I chickened out on bringing Boba. Besides, uh, Ketsu is not like Asajj, completely different ship, I swear ;) And my Kath looks so nice next to her plaque :D

I like that list a lot, seems like a ton of fun to fly! I gotta put that on my to do list!

I have been running variations of this list since January. Very fun and rewarding to fly! I did replace Kath with Dengar at the last tourney, but i felt dirty about it & now I am back to Kath.

I was supposed to take a break from scum to show some love to my other ships, but I had a moment of weakness the week before and threw this one together. I started with the worlds' Boba/Kath list, but kept thinking that a shadowcaster would be a better partner than another firespray. It scratched me wanting to try Ketsu/Bossk at the same time, so 2 for 1! I've flown my own version of Boba/Kath a handful of times, to mixed results, but winning my first SC with a glorious Firespray was nothing short of awesome!

It always was my favorite ship from the lore, and now it has a plaque to prove it's also the best ;)

I'm working on a Ketsu/Dengar list for my son to bring to our next SC, we'll see how that goes. I, sadly, have to try to fly rebels or imperials (and not defenders) to try to get my less used ships some table time...

I have something similar to this but no HLC.

Instead I dropped HLC for Concussion missiles/Homing missles + Extra Munitions + Guidance Chips + Glitterstim

It drops me down to 98 points for a slightly better initiative bid for Fenn Rau. Also, I have PTL on Fenn over mindlink. Mindlink may be better.

Up to you though?

Nice thoughts, I like the alpha strike potential there. If I drop Mindlink on Fenn I would probably drop it on all three and probably drop Inaldra. Mindlink loses its power when there are less and less ships.

Though that is true, Mindlink on 2 of the ships will still make the firespray deceptively hard to kill. All you need is an evade action, focus from mindlink, and maybe use glitterstim?

Though this alternative allows Fenn to be a late game ace regardless when the firespray goes down.

I see some players struggle when one of their mindlink feeders goes down, since they wont be able to focus-stack as easily. This might not be the case for you :)
