Droid Revolution

By urbanyeti, in X-Wing Squad Lists

SOTL’s ten days/ten list was such a fun series and their low cost Han led me to this list. Thoughts?

Droid Revolution!

(70) IG-88A
(2) IG-2000
(2) Predator
Points 74

(54) Han Solo
(4) IG-88D
(6) Lando's Millennium Falcon
(1) Trick Shot
(5) Cluster Missiles
Points 70

(49) 4-LOM
(2) Mist Hunter
(3) 0-0-0
Points 54

Total points: 198

Interesting, I made this very similar list which I intend to try out this weekend. I could drop Lando crew for Cluster missiles on Han. That also leaves room for the title on 4-LOM and then our lists are extremely similar..

G-1A Starfighter - •4-LOM - 53
•4-LOM - Reprogrammed Protocol Droid (49)
L3–37 (4)

Aggressor Assault Fighter - •IG-88A - 72
•IG-88A - Aggressive Automaton (70)
IG-2000 (2)

Customized YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Han Solo - 74
•Han Solo - The Corellian Kid (54)
Trick Shot (1)
IG-88D (4)
Lando Calrissian (8)
Lando’s Millennium Falcon (6)
Greedo (1)

Total: 199/200

Id drop clusters and 0-0-0 for advanced sensors on 4lom : Action> red man> calculate> pewpew > hand over stress.

Amazing with the stop man ;)

I played Han & IG-88A & Guri and HWK & IG-88A & Guri. I like the second better. You can stack 2 focus tokens on Moldy Crow and then only do double Calculate and transfer 1. I need to try 4-LOM.

IG-88A — Aggressor 70
Crack Shot 1
Advanced Sensors 8
IG-2000 2
Ship Total: 81
Guri — StarViper 62
Crack Shot 1
Advanced Sensors 8
Ship Total: 71
Spice Runner — HWK-290 32
IG-88D 4
Moldy Crow 12

Ship Total: 48

Woah woah woah.

You can’t have a droid revolution and not bring L3-37 ?

I... I see Lando’s Falcon title with no Escape Craft in your list to dock?

Yup, to give an extra attack die vs the ships stressed by 4-LOM. L3-37 rides with 4-LOM so I have him in my list, that's what I meant.

But L3-37 isn’t actually in your list?

Yes he is, as crew.

...I was looking at the OP, since they’re the one who named the thread. Sorry! ?

I did want L3 in the list... but I am assuming this list takes place after her death and that she has become a martyr for Droids.

New version I’m thinking about:

Droid Revolution!

(70) IG-88A
(2) IG-2000
(3) Elusive
(3) Fire-Control System
Points 78

(38) Palob Godalhi
(12) Moldy Crow
(4) IG-88D
Points 54

(62) Guri
(3) Fire-Control System
(1) Marksmanship
Points 66

Total points: 198

I like this Palob a lot, but I'm not convinced by FCS on the IG, won't he want to calculate every round? Guri can get away with locking as she can get a free focus and have a calc thrown to her by Palob who will be swimming in tokens.

Going to a 5 point bid would be pretty sweet for Guri.

I played Guri and IG with FCS each but I don't like it. I used FCS once in 2 games.

I tried FCS on Brobots last weekend, didn't use it once (back to Advanced sensors) so I agree.

You need to take TL, fire at that ship and roll one blank, not 2 or more, because then you should spend TL. Then fire at that ship next round. 3 points are not worth it.

How about something like this? Not sure if it's the most efficient but could be fun and unexpected.

IG-88A (70)
Juke (4)
Advanced Sensors (8)
IG-2000 (2)

IG-88C (70)
Juke (4)
Advanced Sensors (8)
IG-2000 (2)

L3-37 (22)
Elusive (3)
Tactical Officer (2)

Total: 195

AdSe doesnt do much for bros anymore, since they dont have any linked actions.

swap it for FCS and bombs :)

AdSe isn’t gonna help anyone with linked actions, in that case. Read the card text again ?

My head said Push The Limit, my fingers wrote something else ?

If I take FCS then I would want to be taking locks which doesn't synergize with Juke. FCS doesn't synergize with bombs either.

Elusive is nice on brobots. They like their s-loops. Adv Sensors will allow them an action before also.
