I was in a store championship a week ago and figured I might as well post about it here. This was my second ever tournament, my first was a few weeks earlier. In my first one I had run IG, Guri and Laetin and while I came out 2-1 I ran into a lot of issues with turretted aces outflying me. With that in mind I threw together a list for this one with Dengar and Boba.

This list needs some work as became greatly apparent to me through the day but it served me well an with a few tweaks I think it has a lot going for it.

Dengar - Recon Specialist

R4 Agromech

Punishing One Title

Engine Upgrade

Lone Wolf

Boba - Predator

4-Lom

Inertial Dampeners

In one of my late games someone suggested that I shouldn't be using rerolling talents on Boba but should opt rather for Veteran Instincts and that my Engine upgrade should have been on Boba. At the start of the day I had wanted engine upgrade on Dengar to increase the chance of his ability. However, as the day went on I realized I didn't use it near enough on him and there were several times I wished I'd had the upgrade on Boba.

The reasoning behind Recon Specialist was that with a potential of two attacks I figured it would increase my overall damage output. Alternately I could use one for defensive purposes.

I ended up going 4-1 though my loss was largely due to poor deployment. I typically play 3 way games with my friends and don't use asteroids so I'm still getting used to them. I placed 5th overall due to mov as the one game I lost went rather poorly. All in all I had a great time flying Dengar, the white s-loop is fantastic and led to some truly awesome maneuvers. At one point I s-looped between two asteroids then boosted in right behind Darth.

I should have done this when things were fresh in my mind so I could recount the battles but I found the combination rather successful considering I threw it together the day before.

I also hadn't realized that ion tokens stay on large ships until they cause the ion effect. That certainly changed my strategy with Boba, though I still used 4-Lom at least once per game.

In the end I would probably go with engine upgrade and VI on Boba to increase his chances of getting those sweet sweet range 1 rerolls. I had too many other actions that were appealing on Dengar and the move dial is nice so he didn't really need it. I also didn't find myself using R4 as much as I had anticipated, though part of that is probably because it was my first time using the droid. I really enjoyed Recon Specialist on Dengar and thought I got my point value for sure from it.
