Substitute recon for tactician on boba and run him with the IG

The Boba build you have there looks better, Bossk really wants EU. Since you already have the Copilot, maybe swap Mangler for it? I made a thread about a similar issue (for me Bossk is set, I wasn't sure about wether to give him IG or Boba as company), maybe some builds from there will help you: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/198228-who-wants-to-play-with-bossk/

My Bossk is a bit more expensive, but his action economy is cranked up to the max! I also prefer VI so he can play with the aces better.

In my opinion when playing Bossk you should choose one crit generating method and stick to it. Afterall, he can only convert *one* crit to two damage.

Mercenary Co-pilot requires range 3. Mangler Cannon can't use the auxiliary arc. Calculation is cheapest, works at all ranges *and* it combines really well with Outlaw Tech. Using the cheaper method leaves you with the points you need for either Engine Upgrade or Gunner (who stacks well with Tactician). But even if you don't go for Calculation, choosing just *one* crit method frees up more points.

Try this.
