Malarus, Holo and friends

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey

I just tested this list out and it was fun.

Malarus in the XI Shuttel with Bio- codes

Holo with proud tradition

4 Epsilon cadets

199 p

Malarus made sure that the first voleys were effective . It took my opponet allot of shots to get her down. By then my Holo went in and danced around , locking, K turning focusing, giving one of the epsis a stress.

a very flexibel list. cant wait to try it out vs nantex

what do u guys think?

Looks pretty solid. You could swap the codes for an upgraded cadet, make it Rivas, or replace Holo with Vonreg, or give two cadets ATP. But there's not much else I can see that could improve it without fundamentally altering it.

Malarus + Holo + whatever else fits is great. I’ve been running it with 3 SFs but plan to swap to 4 FOs instead for the extra gun and green dice. Just gotta be more careful to protect myself from flanking ships.

I've been really enjoying swapping two cadets for an I1 Silencer. Extra blocking ability, another 3-4 die gun but it's shooting last.

Got some points to play around with so I added ATP on the Cadets and Fanatical on Mal as I found I was coordinating more often than any other action so having an additional passive mod helps.

I love Holo, but I’ve been looking at using Rush. Can do Malarus+Rush+4x cadets or Malarus+Rush+3 zeta sf w/ ATP. Don’t have to worry about somebody being double strained, Rush doesn’t really care about the strain at i2 and if he does get shot you have an i6 silencer on cleanup duty.

Thanks, Yeah that might be a good idea, But i truly love the K turn with a focus, and then just giving the stress to a cadet. But im warming upp to the rush idea that Missileaway posted about. Hmm.

Very similar list I’ve enjoyed. A similar one is seen recently on GSP.
