Shadowport Squadron?

By emeraldbeacon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After seeing the participation reward for the next quarterly Official Play kit, it got me wondering... would 3x Shadowport Hunters be viable as a squad, at all? They're roughly equivalent to an Imperial Firespray "Bounty Hunter" in many ways. I can imagine a squad like this:

  • Shadowport Hunter, Courier Droid, Black Market Slicer Tools
  • Shadowport Hunter, Courier Droid
  • Shadowport Hunter, Courier Droid

I guess the question becomes this: is sheer volume of health and firepower enough to subsist in the current meta that seems to be focusing ever more on token-independent dice modifications?

I have no idea if it would work. 30 HP hidden behind 2 agility all around is good any day. But can they hit fast enough? Maybe. Try it, is all I can say!
