Scum control list - Asajj and Ys

By DanteStorm, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I really like control lists (not very good at using them, tend to prefer big damage output ones) and as a scum player I'm having a hard time finding a good one (Besides Ion brobots) and I think Ywing might be the best way to do this, since ion canon scyks die too fast, came up with this to see if I could capitalize it:

Pursuit Craft: •Asajj Ventress (50)
Counter-Measures (3)
•Shadow Caster (3)
Push the Limit (3)
•Latts Razzi (2)
Scavenger Crane (2)

Y-Wing: Syndicate Thug (25)
BTL-A4 Y-wing (0)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R4 Agromech (2)

Y-Wing: Syndicate Thug (25)
BTL-A4 Y-wing (0)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R4 Agromech (2)

Total: 100/100

Asajj's build is changeable of course, EU+BS or even change to Ketsu (who I love btw, but you do lose the stress mechanic) but the idea is lower Agi and hit with Ys, not sure how it'll hold up, as the Ys aren't that maneuverable, but I would love your opinions and other scum control lists (Also really like bumping if anyone has ideas about that.)

Personally, I don't like the title on the Y-Wings. I can kinda see it, with the potential reduced agility (my word, going TLT and title with tractors could be scary offense...), so those 2-attack primary weapons are less shrimpy, but I'd be nervous about giving up the 360 degree turrets when you're trying for control rather than straight blow-up.

In addition, I think I'd run either Unhinged Astromech or Vectored Thrusters on the Y-Wings instead of R4 Agromechs (particularly since I'd skip the title). Unhinged would free up 2 points to use to give Asajj a single Glitterstim. While you'll be trying to PTL most rounds, there will be times when either you've got a lot of incoming fire, or when you get blocked in your greens. Going Vectored would greatly increase the practical footprint of those turrets. The length of a barrel roll is 2 ship lengths, almost the 2.5 of a range band.

I'll tell you: when I was flying multiple /x7 Defenders in an escalation tournament about a month back, the list which gave me the most trouble was probably Ion Y-Wings and B-Wings. I don't think that would have been the case if he was using the title, too.

So, I really dig Ion Cannon Ys. Great control pieces. I do prefer them without the title, because you want to guarantee those shots. TLT Ys are a different beast.

However, Latts Asajj is not the best piece to support them, as she wants to rid the opponent of stress. A strong Tractor Ketsu build could support the Ion Ys well.

You could instead use Dace Bonearm with Ion Cannon Turret, VI, Dengar, and the title, and then a cheap Z blocker. Loads of Ion.
