Thoughts on this build? Cobra is the firepower. He can boost into range one, be assigned tokens from Manaroo, throw five dice with focus. Then Zuckuss can shoot with an extra dice (maybe five). Should be able to deal some major damage!

Cobra (100)

Talonbane Cobra (34) - Kihraxz

Adaptability (0), Cloaking Device (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

Zuckuss (31) - G-1A Starfighter

Adaptability (0), Fire Control System (2), Mist Hunter (0), Tractor Beam (1)

Manaroo (35) - JumpMaster 5000

Deadeye (1), Extra Munitions (2), Plasma Torpedoes (3), R4 Agromech (2)

Looks pretty sweet. Talonbane will need those tokens for his attacks. Thankfully, Zuckuss will have at least FCS. Have you considered putting Decoy on Talonbane so he can have Zuckuss Tractor Beam first, then have Talonbane attack or is the Mist Hunter title there mainly for the barrel roll action?

Yeah. It's on there for Barrel Roll.

You could also Adaptability TB down to 8 and Zuckuss up to 8 then you can choose order anyway.

Only issue I can see is if manaroo gives talon bane or zuckuss her tokens she then doesn't have them to fire her own ordnance, so it may be better to go glitterstim on cobra or make manaroo more or a tank/blocker than torpedo boat

Strategy would be to keep Manaroo away from action early on. She's just there to provide focus for Cobra. Then she comes in a mops up with two 4 dice torpedo shots.

I'd go full support mode on Manaroo too. K4 is absolutely insane on her and Talon appreciates being fully fed by her while boosting into R1.

There's been a lenghty discussion not so long ago on this same squad operating under Atanni Mindlink. Might wanna check that out.

Running something similar but instead of zuckuss I run Kavil and a watered down manaroo. I felt like the g1a was too much hit or miss, Kavil gives me a sure thing

Yeah I've been trying Kavil with Blaster Turret and Recon Spec on Manaroo, that way I can always feed the focus tokens to Kavil if he's blocked or Stressed to fire the Blaster Turret.

Interesting trio. Maybe this variant:

Talonbane (Adaptability, Engine) - 32 pts

Zuckuss (Predator, Dengar) - 34 pts

Manaroo (Predator, K4 Security Droid, Unhinged Astromech) - 34 pts

100 points
