Right now, it's stupidly stupid ...

(because it isn't in our hands yet and taking to long to get here!)

the problem is, he's just not as good as a fat turret. He has no cannon slot like dash/ leebo and no way of mitigating damage like the falcon. And at 45 points vs dash at 48 (with hlc and outrider) he doesn't seem worth it.

I never get when people compare to another ship of another faction. Who cares how it compares to Dash? I want to know if it can work in Scum. How Dash works in Rebels has little impact.

Pretty much everyone who plays competitively or just plays to win cares. Even if Dash is Rebels, you will play against him. This means that, if your Dengar is worse than the enemy Dash, the rest of your list will need to be better than the rest of the enemy list to compensate. So yes, it does matter.

That being said. I don't feel Dengar is worse than Dash, on the contrary. Dengar has PS advantage so PtL Dengar should have no problem keeping Dash in arc. This means you're either trading 2 shots for 1, or 1 shot for 0 (if in donut hole). Either way, Dengar comes out on top.

Comparing him to Han is more adequate.

but still, both are in bad situation now - TLTs wrecked their butts

He seems like the perfect in between for Han and Dash (and his ship kinda looks like it as well).

And TLTs are WAY worse for Han than Dash the extra AGI die is pretty big ducking at one or two shots. But unlike Dash Dengar doesn't mind getting up close and personal. So being pretty maneuverable with return fire will make any poor Y-wing he is hunting have a no good, very bad day.

Dengars gonna have more fun v TLTs simply because he can output more damage with his ability than Han could ever hope to (barring exquisitly sh*tty rolls)

Does Dengar get to return fire from both TLT shots?

His ability is once per round, so no.

As above

Still, that's effectively cluster missiles; ndru cluster missiles if they're drrp enough to primary you at range 1

So....dengar is ....brown.

Has strips of wiping paper stuck all around him....and...flys in a toilet seat.

OK.

Huh.

"They mocked me for choosing a toilet theme in bounty hunting school!"

Imma go watch Robot chicken real quick...

K. Back.

Now, jump master... I think the dial is filthy. Would've made more sense to give it another red on the off-side in my opinion, but I'm sure FFG know what they're doing.
