Dual Infiltrators

By CoffeeMinion, in X-Wing Squad Lists

As it turns out, Amazon Warehouse Deals are the true path to the Dark Side. Now I’ve gotta figure out something reasonable to do with two Sith Infiltrators!

DBS-404 (30)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
Afterburners (6)
Landing Struts (1)

Darth Maul (67)
Tractor Beam (2)
Ion Torpedoes (6)
General Grievous (3)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Count Dooku (63)
DRK-1 Probe Droids (5)
Scimitar (4)
Total: 197

What I like about this idea: Maul and Dooku aren’t as expensive as they could be. Maul can splash some control out there but still get shots with his primary if I’m careful about Force management. He’s also got some damage mitigation in place. Dooku can fly around cloaked, serve as a blocker/jammer, and daring the opponent to let him be my endgame piece. 404 is a straight-up distraction carnifex, and will do work if the enemy doesn’t take the “bait” with putting him down.

What I don’t like about this idea: It doesn’t maximize either Sith’s shenanigans. If I’m not wise with Force, I’m gonna run out fast, and just be a smallish number of health behind one lousy green. It’s a lot of points to sink into two single arcs, and I don’t have much to mitigate that.

Any thoughts are welcome!

The first list with DBS there is pretty hot...

I think I can get into that one, too. Good ol’ 404 loves doing real work and dying horribly in the process. Meanwhile, I like the sound of a thin Maul who can trade punishment for punishment.

I do have to wonder how much value Dooku gets out of paying the price for Hate, though. Not that Hate isn’t useful in general! But Dooku specifically doesn’t seem as Force-hungry as Maul is gonna be. The thing I liked (in theory) about slapping Grievous + a shield on Maul is that it should stretch out his lifespan by a shot or two; is Dooku Hate worth trading that for?

(Genuinely asking / legitimately curious. Thanks for the thoughts!)

Dooku goes through force like the empire goes through stormtroopers. Offense ability is spending force, defense ability spend force, then attacking or defending to mod eyeballs.
