Another way to look at him: Provided you had the turns in advance, he's a retroactive Evade token that shuts down Gunner and sticks around.

Suggests we'll never see a Scum ship with Crew and Tech and the Evade action on their action bar, though!

Gonk will be a stress magnet. By turn four or five when you need his shield regenerated he will be stressed (by rebel lists). With this being an action though it may be the first action card I have seen worth taking.

I think Reiver was referring to the CommRelay that could go into the "Tech" upgrade slot, rather than any of the "Systems" upgrades like FCS. Storing an evade token and regening shields is already a T-70 reality though!

If we ever get a Scum YT-1300... Gonk will be the gonkiest gonk that ever gonked.

Whatever you can do

rebels do better v___v

Thats not true, Gonk is no question the best large ship regen we have (and I hope that it stays that way).

it's also the best 2 point regen in the game

Gonk is Kath's new best friend. Kath + Gonk + Wired + Experimental Interface, 44 points of awesome. You can fit in 2 TLT Aggromech Y's with that setup.

I think you make a good point about Gonk on a Firespray. Firesprays love being chased, especially when they have bombs. Gonk let's them disengage, hit, and then run away. Any pursuers eat bombs and the rear arc, if there's no pursuit, you regenerate.

They just get better and better... the problem (glorious challenge) is who to pick to bring to the slaughter... man we need more crew slots!

New Title Outer Rim Prowler Firespray-31 add up to three crew slots for +2 SQ points.

Andrasta Firespray and 3 Proton Bombs?

Having PS 10 makes bombs nuts, but maybe once the hyper PS 10+ meta settles down you can go for VI Emon and get the same effect. So many times I drop a bomb with PS 10 Boba and my opponent is just barely out of range 1 of it. Not with Emon, EAT IT.

Emon has no EPT.

Emon has no EPT.

Hooray for assumptions. Let me go edit the thread I just created about using Adrenaline Rush on him lol.

Engine is still too important for Kath IMO.

To be fair, Emon doesn't need an EPT to get use out of his ability. I prefer Proximity Mines on him though. You drop them after you move, and you know precisely where those annoying high PS arc dodgers are going to be when you set your dial... eat three red dice, Soontir.

You could also run a super annoying Dengar with Gonk, Interface, Wired, and the counter attack astromech. Costs 54 points total but would be super annoying to deal with.

Gonk is going on my Palob, just to make sure the person everyone hates lives that much longer.

Then in another list he'll go on a Tel with determination, salvaged astro and gonk and have wingman duty to Xizor. Evil is alive and well in Gonk

In my head, I'm calling Gonk + Palob "Rob Gonkowski"

I have run the firespray a ton since it came out and there are always a few turns that the firespray has no shot and I usually end up TLing. This will give the Firespray a really nice option in this times.

Me too. I also run Kath all the time. I love Gonk on her (and Boba).

this is a new build I will play around with just for the fun of it.

I like Gonk cos not only does he give you back shields but MOV as well

...That is a brilliant summation.

He costs 2 points to include, but he's worth about 25ish by that reckoning.

Great point. Hadnt even thought of that.
