Scum build help.

By hanvyp82, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I recently pick up a StarViper and Guns for Hire expansion. I've been looking for a squad with 2 StarVipers but no luck so far.

My other scum ships include

Firespray, Scuurg Bomber, a Y-wing, and 2 Z95's

Any help would be appreciated.

There's a thread here looking at double vipers.

A few general thoughts:

  • Guri's the most played Star Viper
    • She *needs* advanced sensors and she really wants to move last so you should be thinking about a big bid
    • I would say Guri + Outmaneuver + Advanced Sensors for 76 points is the standard build
  • I think what you fly for the second viper is going to depend on how you want to fill the squad out after that
    • If you went for Dalan you could probably fit one other ship, maybe Kavil, but probably not an elite ship
    • If you want Nym or something, you're going to need a naked, generic second viper
  • Another approach might be to fly Drea Renthal in the y-wing
    • Add a couple of Black Sun Assassins and a Black Sun Ace!
    • Something like this:

Kihraxz Fighter - Black Sun Ace - 50
Black Sun Ace - (42)
Predator (2)
Shield Upgrade (6)

StarViper-class Attack Platform - Black Sun Assassin - 50
Black Sun Assassin - (48)
Predator (2)

StarViper-class Attack Platform - Black Sun Assassin - 50
Black Sun Assassin - (48)
Predator (2)

BTL-A4 Y-wing - •Drea Renthal - 50
•Drea Renthal - Pirate Lord (40)
Dorsal Turret (4)
•Dengar (6)

Total: 200/200

You could fiddle with the upgrades. Maybe you want Outmaneuver on Guri like eljms said. Maybe you want a different EPT on Talonbane.

Edit: Oops, you said two StarVipers. Here's a different one I came up with (but haven't flown):

Kavil (42)
Expert Handling (2)
Dorsal Turret (4)
R4 Astromech (2)

Talonbane Cobra (50)
Crack Shot (1)

Black Sun Assassin (48)
Crack Shot (1)

Black Sun Assassin (48)
Crack Shot (1)

Total: 199

The Assassins can be Enforcers with FCS for the same price if you prefer.

Basicly get in close with your Zs. Keep guri and the other Starviper dodging. I kept the ships with the same upgrades so you can play it easier. Feel free to go to the lower pilot skill on the Zs if you need a bid. I just like white barrel rolls over red.
