Manaroo+Dengar

By player1723238, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I came up with a fun little double Jumpmaster list, thought I'd put it here. Previously I was N'dru and a Concussion missile glitterstim Z95 with a lighter Dengar, but this seems a bit more durable.

Manaroo-Deadeye, Recon Specialist, R4 agromech, Guidance chips, proton torpedoes, extra munitions-39

Dengar-PTL, Unhinged astromech, title, Engine Upgrade, Plasma torpedoes, K4 Security droid.-59

I'm not sure if a 98 initiative bid for Dengar is better, or if extra munitions is, or possibly just upgrading him to a proton.

Dengar (33)

  • Push The Limit (3)
  • Engine Upgrade (4)
  • K4 Security Droid (3)
  • Punishing One (12)
  • Unhinged Astromech (1)

= 56 pts

Manaroo (27)

  • Opportunist (4)
  • Proton Torpedoes (4)
  • Extra Munitions (2)
  • Guidance Chips (0)
  • K4 Security Droid (3)
  • Unhinged Astromech (1)

= 41 pts

Total: 97 pts

Standard Super Dengar, with room for Glitterstim. No news here.

K4 is mandatory for Manaroo to work her ability without hassle. She also gains a bit of teeth with Opportunist and will have lots of opportunities (no pun intended) to trigger it due to low PS. Unhinged Astro comboes with K4 and facilitates stress refresh from Opportunist, so you can keep going with decent firepower. Torps lose accuracy, but gain extra dice and you have late-game relevance.

I call them Love Affair.

lighten it up to put palob in there and you could have "annoying 3rd wheel"

Hmm Idunno. I feel like running her as a standard Torp boat with crazy mods and then having the ability to have her give Dengar 2 focus after she uses her torps is pretty strong. I'll try out my build and yours and see which I like better.

Doesn't Manaroo ability trigger at the start of combat phase? So you can't fire your torps then give Dengar focus. All happens before anyone fires..

our guru's are toying mostly with dengar/yv666 combo's as a 2 ship. Loses mobility on a twin jumpy but gains on sustained firepower, especially if you take moralo

I think he meant after firing Manaroo's torpedoes just give the focus to Dengar the rest of the match.
