First try with SSD - XI7s or jank?

Recommended Posts

Hey, all. I'm heading into my first game with an SSD, and have kinda settled on a build I'm comfortable with. The local meta has few activations with one or two heavy hitters (ISD, Glad) and perhaps a raider, plus a medium to large, mostly rogue heavy squadball of Firesprays, decimators or defenders. Aces are rare for some reason. In my limited experience I've never seen anyone but me field more than one. Bids are usually none or a point or two, but I've seen 392 once.

For this reason, I've decided to forgo Kallus, but also make LTT mandatory. Most of the list is a straight JJ Ravager list, but the first one uses Krennic, Intel Officer and XI7s to try to be able to kill the main enemy battleship very, very quickly - applying serious damage - even at long range - as second player. The second is a jankier one, using Palpatine, Overload Pulse and QBT with a little bit of a stronger bid for first. Both effectively have four activations, which I expect might actually out-activate my opponent, though this is by no means a sure thing.

Which one should I use? Or should I do something else? And any general advice for someone flying this for the first time?
