Jabba the Hutt on Marlo/Asajj

By stormblest, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have seen this list floating around. Not sure where I saw it first. Wanted to get some thoughts on it.

Pursuit Craft: •Asajj Ventress (51)
Counter-Measures (3)
•Shadow Caster (3)
Push the Limit (3)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
Glitterstim (2)
Glitterstim (2)

YV-666: •Moralo Eval (49)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
•Jabba the Hutt (5)
•Dengar (3)
"Hot Shot" Blaster (3)

Total: 100/100

This has to be the best looking Jabba (non-epic) list I have seen yet.

PTL + Glitter seems kind of unsynergetic, plus, no Lattz on Asajj. I'd totally switch PTL for Lone Wolf and then Inspiring Recruit for Lattz. If flying Lone Wolf, I'd advise you to be as aggressive as possible with Moralo, so that people target him and not Asajj, so she can be left to the end game. I played with Asajj/Bossk, with Jabba on Bossk, it was really good, only problem is Bossk folds like paper, and if he dies before dealing the damage he has to deal, it's impossible for Asajj to finish the game, or almost impossible.

I don't think PTL/Glitter is necessarily bad (intend to Push most turns, but if you bump or get blocked you can Glitter). However, I don't think such a build needs double-glitterstim. However, taking Scavenger Crane for additional Countermeasures would work well in a build like that. Alternately, going from PTL to Lone Wolf or Predator would work, too.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Mangler Cannon on someone who doesn't use crit-based abilities (Bossk, Ten Nunb, folks with Boba Fett crew, etc). Dropping it entirely, or putting on a control cannon like Ion might be useful. I'd mostly use Primary, but some ships are hard to hit, so the 1-damage cap won't matter, and the ion is really strong against something like Nym or Mirada so that they can't drop bombs.

I agree with @theBitterFig with jabba in the list, just put 1 glitter and scavenger crane and predator or lone wolf.

Perhaps squeeze the points for a Heavy Laser Cannon on Moralo and just keep him back so Ventress can be the enemies focus? Fly it well enough and you can still use lone wolf.

My friend, if you want Jabba'd glitter, look no farther than Sabine Wren!!

Sabine Wren

Glitter x 2

K4 Security Droid

Gyro Targeting

Moralo

HLC

Dengar

Jabba

Hot Shot Blaster

Countermeasures

Sabine has functionally full mods for 4 rounds on EVERY ROLL, including a free evade on every defense, with her action free to evade. Moralo has 4 dice attacks out the front and 2 emergency 3 dicers out the back, both with Dengar freerolls and (ideally) a focus.
