Bossk + Dengar

By Zelic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi there! Been playing for about a year now fairly casually, entering a "casual" 100pt tourny in a few weeks was just wanting thoughts on this list :)

Bossk
-Lone Wolf
-Mangler Cannon

-Gonk

Dengar

-Deadeye

-PlasmaTorps

-Extra Munitions

-Gunner

-Punishing One

I love both of those ships and have been playing a lot with Bossk and recently with Dengar too. In my opinion Bossk absolutely needs Engine Upgrade... if you are ever left with Bossk alone he just can't turn around fast enough without it. once the enemy is behind you it is over :) I have tried often enough without engine and keep always coming back to it. :) I also really like the combination of outlaw tech (that stop move is invaluable) and calculation. cheap but very effective. Lone Wolf doesn't do much for him here, predator would be better as you won't often use it for defense. and if the enemy concentrates fire on a YV-666 he is gone in a heartbeat, Lone Wolf or not :D and if you don't have your friends close by (because of LW) you won't even be able to shoot back ;) Mangler cannon is good for sure but it doesn't use that amazing 180° arc which is so threatening for the enemy. I would rather go with Moralo and mangler or HLC even. calculation (with outlaw) or marksmanship are the best choices to really take advantage of bossk's ability.

I can also highly recommend K4 on both ships... the points will add up and you can't fly them together anymore but it is fun (and highly effective) for sure ;)

with dengar I have been going the arc dodging route and really liking it. with PTL, Engine Upgrade, K4, Unhinged Astromech and title it comes to the same 56 points but is so much more versatile. true you have no torpedoes but the won't do you much good against all the arc dodgers out there :)

your list is good against low agility targets but will struggle a lot with aces.

Anyway, I hope this helps a little :) at least some food for thought

good luck with the tournament! and never forget to enjoy it :D
