Captain Jostero

By Browncoat50, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Am I looking to do too much here?

Assajj Ventress: VI, Gyro Targeting, latts, rigged cargo chute, title

N'dru: crack shot, harpoon missile, guidance chips

Captain Jostero: Vaksai, Decoy, Black Market Splicer Tools, EU, AT, munitions failsafe.

100 pts.

Is Assajj too expensive? The idea here is to create as many reasons for Jostero's ability to trigger (stress + BMST, cargo debris, harpoon splash, and tractor beam + asteroid shenanigans). Not sure what let for Jostero but decoy is free and I never get a chance to use it.

BMST + Stress will not trigger Jostero, as you are dealing a damage card and not actual damage, also, the probability of generating damage eith a debris is low, and also, I don’t think ventress with one action will want to spend it on dropping a debris. Also I'm pretty sure decoy is 2 points, will make it 1 point with Vaksai. I am also assuming you are using VI on her so she can shoot before N'dru and tractor someone.

Honestly, I think Asajj needs some form of action economy, using gyro is helping, but dropping VI on her, Rigged cargo and Crack shot on N'dru will give you 3 points, which u can use to give asajj PTL which blends quite nicely with gyro, because most of her red moves are speed 3. Now because N'dru is a higher pilot skill I would put Adaptability on him to decrease it one and have them both at PS6.

I'm not sure about Jostero's build, it feels to me you're putting too many points on his mods, he's PS4 so I doubt he'll be dodging many arcs, I think expertise would be the best elite for him, so he can have a focus on both his attacks, and then just build the rest of him however you want, maybe give him a harpoon too, and if you do, give him Guidance chips.

All in all I don't think it's a bad idea, three attack (N'dru once, Jostero twice, hopefully) agaisnt a -1 agility target can be pretty mean.

I concur that Expertise is the best EPT on Jostero by far!

I think that Harpoons are one of the best ways for him to proc. Keeping that in mind, MOAR HARPOOONSS! Jostero w/ Expertise, GC, Harpoons, Scavenger Crane is an excellent starting point. I am personally a big fan of more Kiregbikhjdfs w/Deadeye, GC, Harpoons, Scavenger Crane as a base, and the upcoming Torani Kulda w/ Harpoons, EM, GC, VI etc fits in nicely
