OK thanks, I will stick with HLC then!

HLC is Just Better all round. The meta at the moment favours big attacks, an extra die is WAY more useful than a die modification. Can't do any damage at all if you can't hit.

Plus, Fel just laughs off Mangler Dash, wheread HLC Dash actually has a chance of hitting him if he can avoid getting donutted.

Avoiding the doughnut is easy. Avoiding the doughnut AND range 3 is hard while having Fel in Arc. So basically you still have a very hard time to hit Fel. Autothruster + Focus + Evade guaranteed two evade results. 85% to have 4 or more evades with Soontir against that HLC when the autothruster kick in … that is without Palpatine naturally. (Palp makes it a straight 98% and guarantees 3 evades).

And did I mentioned that you need him in range 2, in arc and have focus+tl for reliable damage? Thought if you really manage to do that you get a solid 40% chance to do damage, strip that sd and have a much easier time afterwards. If it is a range 3 or out of arc shot your chance to do damage goes down to 12% with TL+Focus and 6% with just one attack modification.

Going for the bump sounds like the best option. Well or for Range 1-2 shots with the Ghost in the most common lists. Take that 1 damage from chopper, make it an focus+TL 4 dice attack without autothruster and watch Soontir bleeding to death.
