...But When You Buy A Second One For $7

By JBFancourt, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Okay, I’ve only ever been mildly interested in the YV-666. I purchased one when it released in 1.0 days... but I’m not much of a Scum player.

Soooo... then Amazon had them on sale for $6.90 with free shipping!!! So while I’ve never flown ONE, I’m now strangely obsessed with flying TWO! 🙄😜😁

Any good ideas? The only ships I really love on scum is Fenn Rau and Bro Bots. So this is my first stab. I originally had Bossk Gunner, but extra stress is not worth 2 unmodded attacks. I know of the Lando option but don’t own him.

I’ve renamed my build with Fenn and 2x Trandoshans “Nerf Herder” 😜😜

Lando and IG-88D make any YV potent AF. A second one can take Maul, or 0-0-0 if you're on a budget. Either could then be upgraded to Bossk (adding on Greedo to guarantee him his crit) or Moralo if you want the punch or trickiness, respectively!

A trick with Lando is to just combo him with taking reinforce actions, recycle that token after you've been shot at. 0-0-0 makes for a neat backup trick that might also give you a focus, add BT-1 to discourage them taking the stress. Particularly fun if you brought 4-LOM, Koshka, Han, or Bossk.

Heehee... I won our local store OP with Nerfherder! 😜😂

It was a small OP but went 3-0 with good MOV. It’s a strange build.....

I hate to mess with perfection here, but Nerf Herder has a couple of problems that I want to experiment with:

1) Both YVs roll up and take Reinforce. However that’s one wasted action, because USUALLY the opponent will focus fire on only one YV. Something I can’t know, tho, so both take Reinforce.

2) If Fenn dies, I lose. He’s basically the only damage output. The other two YVs are just control and protection. Damage is just bonus.

Soooooo.... What do you think?

4-LOM has his reinforce. Xizor is perfect for hovering around 4-LOM. Reinforce if the go for 4-LOM. And a modded attack from Xizor.

If they go for Xizor he dumps on 4-LOM. If they chase Fenn, Xizor can legitimately punish that decision. I’m not auto dead if I lose Fenn.

Bonus: I’m using Xizor, who I’ve never seen on the table before. 😜👍👍

But you dumped your second YV!!!

I feel like this one would be fun, in theory...

I feel like dumping a YV for an underused SV Pilot is still a noble attempt. Lol 😝

You have enough marginal upgrades here to upgrade the Carbonite Bus to Trick Shot Latts, who is amazing.

Tactical Scramblers can likely just go without an impact, since people will mostly shoot the Bus in front of them anyway.

Swarm is possibly a nice touch, but that or Slicers, with the Scrambers and BT-1, will give you the necessary 9pt wiggle.

That Bossk, Slaver, 4Lom list looks fun. Any experience using it yet?

Nope, so many lists, so little time.
