Hey guys,

So my jumpsters are awaiting pickup but I couldnt resist buying a hunter. While I initially thought it to be a $20 crew upgrade, the model was so strikingly beautiful that I had to put it on the table

So I went in with vi dengar crew zuckuss in a misthunter. He had vi FCS thruster Xizor and two blacksun bugzappers for backup

Dude's a lot of fun!

He is essentially a (very) poor man's phantom. His damage potential is absurd but he can't cloak (and if he can it's a pale imitation) and his dial isn't super debilitating but it's not at all stellar

The biggest change from the phantom is dengar. Since you don't wait around for FCS, you can immediately take a hatchet to unmodified opponents. Just add focus!

2nd biggest change is he took two unmodified attacks and went to half health

Considering his offensive power over his sheer squishiness, I'd have to say he'd be competitive as a native PS 8. Being able to out PS soontir and dengar could've made him a much more reliable pick

As is, he at least hits like a brick on rocket sleds. Tentatively recommend him

Fly him with blockers, with palob (hell go full bank with sensor jammer!) or as what would've been your third torp scout. Whatever you do, find a way to shoot unmodified opponents (unless you want to strip their modifiers) and you'll have a blast

Ooh this is weird, I'm never using Zuckuss pilot when the Zuckuss crew is way better.

they don't necessarily overlap

Zuckuss crew is certainly cheaper, but I don't see why it's way better. I definitely see some cool synergy between him and 4-LOM, but otherwise I feel that the stress can be quite pricey for a mere reroll.

Zuckuss crew is legit, but I don't see anywhere he's expressedly needed outside gunner bossk Slavers and some builds of Palob (needs testing)

he and pilot Zuckuss don't overlap at all, outside their mutual love for opponents with unmodified green dice
