BroBots v.1

By martini74, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Have a tournament upcoming. Just tinkering with an idea. Feel free to comment and offer suggestions.

Same load out on both ships. Using IG-88 C and D.

Outmaneuver/proximity mine/ trajectory simulator/ contraband cybernetics/ static discharge vanes, title.

The S.D.V. are the only upgrade I am not sold on. Just put it there as a passive ability. Thought about dropping those and putting the cheap escape craft on the board, but that is free points for the opponent.

I don't think a cheapest craft is worth it here. Only a non-suicidal one would be in my consideration

Be aware that the escape craft can't match speed and maneuverability. You can keep it on the far side of the battle.

I have tried Lando in the escape craft. Same ini as the IGs, so many options for coordination. Tactical officer and maybe composure and Lando is fine. And his ability is quite nice.

Leet could also be an option, since it's a valid target for posting calculate tokens of you every decide to run ig-88a

Sorry to disappoint but I don't think you can launch mines as trajectory simulator says "bomb" and not "device"

Mitchell Raab did really well with brobots in the mynock opens, he however used A and B:

IG-88A + Elusive + Trajectory Simulator + Ion Cannon + Tractor Beam + Proton Bombs + Feedback Array + Ablative Plating + IG-2000
IG-88B + Elusive + Trajectory Simulator + Ion Cannon + Tractor Beam + Proton Bombs + Feedback Array + Ablative Plating + IG-2000

Prox Mines & Trajectory Simulator don't work together as Traj. Sim specifies Bomb and not Device.

I see that now. Thank you
