How to kill Nym and/or Miranda?

By Nikolishin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

In a meta with a lot of Mirandas and Nyms - what are the best way to kill them, or at least one of them?

I have two ideas:

Contracted Scout (25)
Extra Munitions (2)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Boba Fett (1)
R4 Agromech (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Contracted Scout (25)

Plasma Torpedoes (3)
4-LOM (1)
R4 Agromech (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Of the two, I'd vote for trip scouts. Torpedoes are obviously strong against 1 agility, and your PWT has no dead zone. You can Boba their TLT. Both lists are vulnerable to slam bombing but you can answer that with having 9 health per ship rather than 5.

And of course I would also put Trick Shot on each Jumpmaster.

Triple jumps definitely, more health, as stated above and more fire power, plus no donut at range 1, I would, however, find points to Mindlink them all, I know it's the traditional way, but honeslty unless you have k4 it's the best way, because otherwise you'll be shooting plasma torpedoes with 1 modifier in the first engange, and you lock their actions to focus, where with mindlink one can focus and the others can barrel roll at will.

Dealing against mirandas and nyms Ion is also great, small base with 1 AGI that ion is pretty much assured and no dropping reveal bombs with it.

Trip Scouts but with EM Plasma Mindlink R4 and give one of them Boba.

Trip Scouts are poison for low agility two ship lists, but your build of them isn't the best - and watch out for Intense Poe who's pretty much a hard counter.

I know this probably isn't the popular opinion, but tlt Aggressors will rip thru 1 agility ships. If you can get all 4 to bear down on one of them, they should burn thru Miranda or nym pretty fast. You may want to consider thug life Y's thou. the extra health is good against bombs.

Kylo Ren. Even Boba Fett with Mangler and Kylo ruins Nyms day.

Yeah, probably Kylo. Nym is almost always going to end up in a 2-ship list, which is basically lunch for RAC w/Kylo + Ace. Miranda ends up in a lot more list variety. For example, Miranda/Biggs/whatever isn't likely to fear Kylo as much, but it's still a good bet.

...have you tried, y'know, shooting them? As far as I know the Scurrg doesn't really have much in the way of regen gimmicks, and the K-Wing isn't particularly maneuverable...

K wing not maneuverable? Yeah, that slam action is just terrible... Sorry to sound a bit sarcastic but k-wings are a nightmare for me!

High PS boosting turrets will avoid most of what Nym does, or even moving fast with the scouts and making use of the barrel roll should keep you out of bomb range.
