I've been playing a lot of scum (not BroBots) lately I love the tricks they can pull and the abilities they have. when I played a Rebel list the other day I was . the list I was flying was one of my own and I have won tournaments with it and I won my games the night I played it. but ti didn't have the fun that scum has and even tho I won I was . I missed my scum fun now every time I start to think of list for Rebels and Imps they look so boring to me. there is no fun in it. Im starting to think I might have List Builders Block

anyone else having this problem?

Wave 8 make better. But yea scum is just more fun with less bang right now.

trouble is when wave 8 gets here I only want to play scum more. I'm very meh on the Ghost

I had same thing but with rebels. All those droid and crew sheanigans.

But then one day....i just get bored. Now i finally wanna learn Imperial Aces (Vader/Fel/Lamba and Omega/Whisper/Lambda). Seriously that lists are so demanding in skill that every game i play is just "wow i want more, that i frakked up, that i did well. NEXT! i want to fix my mistakes" that rebels are really meh to me now.

If you like scum tricks go for some crazy sheanigans of other factions: recently i swiched Omicron for Yorr and im in love with omega pulling sloop every turn combo for example.

Rebels got even more crazy tricks up theirs sleeve.

Whaaaaat? It is so cool!

But I get it, I want to play the hell out of the Jumpmaster, especially the ultra sexy torpedoe variants. And all of those crew options...I dearly hope this is what catches scum up.

I hire the most famous bounty hunters in this galaxy for my cause.

I'm still Imperial.

Vader did it. So - why I should not?

Wave four ruined the game for me I own so many ships but the siren call of the defenders call me back to the empire every time.

The problem with scum is it came in after the meta and faction traits for both sides were already fully developed. So scum got stuck in a place where it had to either replace a top metal list, (which is what brobots did to buzzsaw shuttles) or do something entirely new but was such effective that it hasn't been done before (this one being thae hardest). Failing that Scum would be nothing more then Rebel 2.0 faction with Boba.

There has been some considerable (but forgivable) miscalculations with scum. Especially as the control aspect. Scum was supposed to be the control faction but as of now that clearly goes to the Stress Hog which the rebels have as the best stress unit. Although they did make the Scum a separate faction that doesn't play like other rebel or imperial lists, FFG has yet to fully flesh out Scum as it has only been around for 2 waves and has had no special releases like an Aces or Epic packs.

However it does look like it is going in the right direction with Wave 8 filling up those holes and giving Scum a range of ships that is on par with Rebels and Imperials, but as for now it is still trailing behind from the head start that the original two factions have.

Ruin the game? Simply no. If something ruins the game is the interminable quest looking for gaps in the rules, quad TLTs, etc. And the mechanic is quite solid, so really it is hard to ruin the game.

I hope in future waves there will be more and more Rebel and First Order ships, plus "new wave" scum.

Scum spiced the game.

I never really got into Rebels. I love the other factions, though.

deathrain spits on your IG block

bombs help freshen things up a lot and scum (sadly) don't have the awesome bomber options of Deathrain or K-wings. Sure you have emon, but emon's bloated and cant boost/roll/slam

(see Warden squadron A-slam if you want to go back to rebels)

Next chance I get to Play with Deathrain, I should do so.

another really fun, under-appreciated combo is the rebel bb-8 + PTL (on Asty because of white t-rolls which let you bb8 the turn after you flip around)

holy hell, rebel arc-dodging is the best (often involves less arcdodging, more rolling/boosting so you can bump your opponent and stop him from shooting you)

dude's a ton of fun, incredibly maneuverable and can get fully modified shots after rolling

for empire, apart from deathrain's bombs, gchips are making bombers and redline a hell of a lot of fun

Next chance I get to lay with Deathrain, I should do so.

I don't think Scum ruined the game for you, they just converted you to their scumcicity. I was converted a little while ago. It's great, I love the token stealing aspect the best. Regrettably, I havent had much seat time with Bossk, but that will change once wave 8 hits. I've got a sweet Bossk/Dengar list I'm itching to run. "Bounty Bros"

Next chance I get to lay with Deathrain, I should do so.

this post gives me life.... i was thinking the same thing.

Good, good... let the scum flow through you

My brother bought in because of scum, and He is one of the few people I get to play with, so I'm glad scum's a thing.

Next chance I get to lay with Deathrain, I should do so.

Errr.....edited my post to actually reflect what I was meaning.

Yeah, Scum need a proper bomber (not that bomber Y-wings are necessarily bad), at least akin to the TIE Bomber. Wish Cloakshapes could fill that role but they didn't do that traditionally. Maybe the Scurrg (ew prequels).

I think this game needs a proper bomber....

Emon should improve with Wave 8. Dengar appears to be the ideal crew member for him, giving him dice mods without needing to spend an action. He's still going to be expensive at 39 points before any bombs are assigned.

Scum do have Bomb Loadout Y-Wings going for them. The Aggressor also has a bomb slot, but I've never actually seen it used.

Scum is the best.
