M12's and a Viper

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I got a game in today with Torani and Dalan, but with Xizor instead of Guri. I had Proton Torpedos and R3 Astromechs on the M12's but I mostly stuck with primary attacks. So I dropped them from the list and upgrade the Viper to be a bit more troublesome. Still left me with some points so I added on the shield upgrades. I love Inertial Dampeners on the M12's because if a ship moves in front of them, putting on the breaks to get that bullseye shot off is really worth the price of a shield.

Was also thinking about subbing the Viper out for Fenn Rau and adding Prockets. Might be a better use of points than an overloaded Guri, whose ability is fine but far from great.

I have very little in the way of opinions regarding Kimos. I admit, I wouldn't fly them - what with being so low I, their abilities are wildly inconsisted imo. Though to be fair, I've barely seen them played yet.

But Guri, I firmly believe is at her golden standard with Predator and AdSen. With an AdSenned BRoll, Predator and her ability are both SUPER easy to proc.

The lower initiatives does become problematic, as I've experienced. I do think the Prokets help with that though since they only require a focus and they can white BR with Expert Handling to line up the bullseye arc for their abilities. I think the list with them is good for hunting large base ships.

I like the idea of Advanced Sensors on Guri so I'll re-work the list with that inclusion.
