OK, "Gonk" fans, what do you think?

Kath Scarlett (38)

+ Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

+ Experimental Interface (3)

+ "Gonk" (2)

+ Wired (1)


Tel Trevura (30)

+ Punishing One (12)

+ Hull Upgrade (3)

+ Salvaged Astromech (2)

+ Determination (1)

+ Greedo (1)



Both pilots are PS7 with 3 attack, 2 agility, 6 hull, and 4 shields.


Tel has an additional 2 Hull when he "dies". Greedo helps put the hurt on enemies, hopefully after Kath's HLC or Butt Gun™ strips shields. With Greedo pulling [crits] onto Tel, Determination and Salvaged Astromech should help extend his life further.


Meanwhile, Kath banks "Gonk" shields at the start of the game, then uses Experimental Interface later to both Evade and gain shields as often as possible. Wired then contributes to her offense as well as further enhancing her defense/survivability.

Interesting setup on Kath, I think you've managed stress and gonk really well. I still wonder if it's worth the trade off over just slow rolling gonk. Fett would be the other option to get your rerolls although you lose the rear hlc.. Wired + Kath allows stressed whites pretty well although no gonk but that's only in a pinch. Thinking out loud now. Anyway I'd be interested to hear how she played.

Tel I feel you went overly defensive. You need some form of passive mods here IMO. I'd say dengar in place of salvaged AM and greedo.

Yeah, that's one thing that unfortunately doesn't fit in the list, some kind of efficiency on Tel. I'll have to see how it plays, but with any luck you can be patient with Tel's longevity and set up effective TL+Focus attacks.
