Dengar Dual TLT Y-Wings

Hey all,

looking for feedback on a list. I like the look of it and it seems straight forward and simple to fly. Is there anything I should consider changing?

Basically I take on tons of stress with Dengar using Zuckass ... I have not missed the action bar since with zucas it is like having reverse focus for the defender.

The y-wings are there to chip away. I am considering the BTL-A4 Y-Wing fixed turret gig for extra attacks but I love the 360.



Dengar (50)
JumpMaster 5000 (33), Adaptability (0), Zuckuss (1), Glitterstim (2), Punishing One (12), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Syndicate Thug (25) x 2
Y-Wing (18), Twin Laser Turret (6), Unhinged Astromech (1)

There's nothing wrong with a 50pt Dengar, but here are two of them that I prefer:

Dengar (33)
Lone Wolf (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Punishing One (12)
Total: 50
and
Dengar (33)
Adaptability (0)
Recon Specialist (3)
R4 Agromech (2)
Punishing One (12)
Total: 50
The first one is more durable, but the second one is nice because PS10 lets you move after nearly every ace, sometimes denying them an arc, and it also lets you fire before Whisper.
You can also do Dengar with Predator, Overclocked R4, and a 1pt crew of your choice. If you want durability, you can instead do the first Dengar build with Tel and spend the extra 3 points on a Hull Upgrade.
Basically, Dengar gets lots of attacks, so he wants lots of attack modifiers, either via Recon Spec, Lone Wolf, Predator, R4 Agromech, or some combination. When you've already spent the points on the ship, it's important to spend that little extra to make sure your red dice always count.
You should be aware that Syndicate Thugs are not especially great right now because of the way U-Boats and PS4 Crackswarms are gobbling up PS2s before they can fire. You might even consider swapping one of them out to Torkil Mux with a TLT for 25pts.

I like lone wolf and recon specialist idea. I was looking at Tokil.... PS2 is terrible.

I will try out your suggestions on Thursday.

Thanks for the feedback!

Not a big fan of lone wolf with that build. It will be too easy for your opponent to focus on the TLTs or Dengar since they cannot support each other.

Before I change him is this viable for the long haul. I have played it about 6 times as of last night and it keeps winning.

It seems to start strong and then go to attrition which isn't all bad since Dengar is super maneuverable. I know that effectively removing my action bar runs counter to common sense ... My biggest issue was crits that require an action to remove.

Y-Wings aside... I am not married to them but they seem to draw a lot of fire for me.

If you are having success with your original list. Do not change it, because it could come down to flying styles. His flying style might suit his list.

I'll keep playing it for now. Thanks

I know this will come as a shock :P but after going up against two well piloted good lists I got my ass handed to me.... To answer my own question. No.... this is not a viable list. I did learn a lot and will be making some adjustments.
