Hey guys,

Loving the hounds tooth, but finding partners with my scum ships for it difficult. How does this sound?

Bossk (35)

Markmanship (3)

K4 security droid (3)

Glitterstim (2)

Shield upgrade (4)

Kath Scarlet (38)

Oppertunist (4)

Ret spec (3)

Glitterstim (2)

Shield upgrade (4)

98 pnts

2 pnt iniative to make sure only aces shoot before them. Bossk shoots 1st with Tl/marskman or his glitterstim backup if he gets caught stressed, with the potential to drop 5 hits on someone.

Kath covers bossks but till the messy stuff starts then keeps her tail on bossks target to get her oppertunist bonus for 5-6 dice focused. Her glitterstim is more of a defense vs early swarm fire rounds or covers her

when stressed.

Depending on how confident your flying and arc judgement is possibly swap the shield upgrades for eu's

I'd consider Engine Upgrade on either or both ships instead of Shield Upgrade

I second the above.

In addition, if you are going to put marksmanship on a ship, you should seriously consider Gunner. Those two cards together on Bossk are incredibly frightening.

Probably, but without having flown it yet i'm concerned about durability and what boosting instead of focus/marksman takes away from their offensive capabilities, especially when matched vs swarms where they need to be making kills every turn early in the match. When flown together it'd take some very fancy flying to arc dodge both ships

I'm hesitant to put the Engine Upgrade on Kath because then you have opportunity cost between Recon Specialist and Engine Upgrade. Same goes for Bossk and Marksmanship, except that with K4 Security Droid, you at least have a way to modify an attack if you execute a green maneuver and then boost.

Personally, I think I'd drop Opportunist in exchange for Predator on Kath, just so you get some offensive augmentation even if you do choose to boost (assuming you do exchange Shield Upgrade for Engine Upgrade).

In my experience the Engine is near-mandatory on the YV. Especially in this dodge-heavy meta.

One extra shield does not make up for even a single missed round of shooting in a 2-ship build, so if you're taking the shield instead of the engine you better be supremely confident in your ability to play a near-perfect maneuvering game.

Opportunist doesn't make a ton of sense here either, without a more reliable means of stripping tokens that "Well Bossk'll just shoot them off first". If Bossk misses or loses arc Kath will find herself firing into modded defense with her fancy 4 point EPT sitting idly by

I've thought about a similar build.
