Need help finding an EPT for Scum Fett

By TheGreedyMerchant, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm wanting to try out a mini Z swarm with scum Boba. My list is 4 Binayre pirates and Fett with gunner, inertia dampers, and engine upgrade. Got three points left for an EPT and I'm not sure what I want to put on him. Please help and thank you in advance.

Push the limit - 3 pts - "Once per round, after you perform an action, you may perform 1 free action shown in your action bar. Then receive 1 stress token."

Useful with the Engine Upgrade to get a Focus, Evade, or Target Lock after you boost. Seems like the best choice to me - assuming you don't change anything else.

Predator - 3 pts - "When attacking, you may reroll 1 attack die. If the defender's pilot skill value is "2" or lower, you may instead reroll up to 2 attack dice."

Helps your attack, but may reduce the usefulness of Gunner. You could take off Gunner and put on a Mangler Cannon for 4 pts.

Outmaneuver - 3 pts - "When attacking a ship inside your firing arc, if you are not inside that ship's firing arc, reduce its agility value by 1 (to a minimum of 0)."

Would be useful with both the front and back arc.

Stay on Target - 2 pts - "When you reveal a maneuver dial, you may rotate your dial to another maneuver with the same speed.Treat that maneuver as a red maneuver."

Gives you some of the same move options that you have with the Imperial version of Boba - just adds a stress.

VI lets you out-fly everything with ease. VI + seismic = 3pts

Personally, I'd try Expert Handling. That large base barrel roll is huge, and it's great for staying at range 1 as often as possible.

Range 1 and out of arc.

Can personally testify that Outmaneuver on a fast Firespray is golden.

For your list, PTL is what you want. PTL allows you to switch between super agressive modes (TL/focus) and super defensive modes (focus/evade) which you'll need for your primary damage dealer. I would also drop the Gunner for K4 (offensive) or RecSpec (defensive) which are much more synergistic with PTL.

I've found Gunner isn't great value when you're getting rerolls anyway through TL or Boba's ability.

Shaving Gunner will let you take Proximinity Mines (also synergistic with PTL) if you drop the Inertials as well. That will help punish your opponent when they chase Boba, which I think most players would do.

Go with Predator. Even though His ability is similar it is situational whereas you will use predator every shot. Not to mention you may roll terrible at range one where you could use his ability and the EPT (on separate dice of course). With Predator I like equipping a recon specialist crew so almost all rounds he will be double focused to help defensively and offensively. You then have 56% chance to roll all three hits versus 42% with just focus (assuming not at range 1 and higher PS than 2).
