Stay on target boba likes outlaw tech....

Kinda ehh on the Stay on Target build. You can change direction with same speed, but getting a stress out of it doesn't seem worth it.

So far it seems like Recon Specialist, and K4 are everyone's favorite with Tactician coming in third.

I've played Boba with all three, was kinda looking for something different that doesn't hamstring the hell out of him, or any other firespray.

Dengar, 4-L0M and Tactician are all fine choices.

I probably wouldn't take anything else.

Gunner is okay, but if you're that worried about hitting certain targets, 4-L0M can help with that problem for 4 points less. Recon Specialist is also not terrible, but with Scum Boba you end up wanting to boost a fair amount, so you're probably better off with a different crew and a Glitterstim in the illicit slot.

Focus synergizes well with boba's ability. Repositioning is a firesprays weakness, expert handling and engine do this well to. Once you're on point with SoT, you can usually green from that position. Outlaw gives you that consistent action , even while you kturn*. It's cheap and different.

- it doesn't need engine or glitterstim as much as other builds do. SoT + outlaw lets you do two important things beyond its normal function - you can SoT when your normal move would bump - netting you a focus. You can also SoT across an asteroid where you'd lose an action, to secure a focus. SoT is not an every turn thing, it's a guarantee of a focus access.

I ran Boba with "Gonk" at the ATL Regionals - I thought he was the MVP of my build as he regenerated at least 2 shields in each match. I do agree that there are better competitive choices probably since my complaint with Boba is outside of R1, he struggled to do any significant damage.

Which is why I like Dengar on Boba. Lots of people think that it's redundant, but I prefer to think of it as "supplementary". You're not always at R1, and even when you're at R1, you sometimes want to reroll more than 1 attack die. Dengar on Boba is solid.

Yeah - I ran pilot Dengar, so I had to make a decision on a 2-point crew slot. I do believe that Dengar crew is the best option when available.

Best possible crew upgrade for Scum Boba?

Kallus. And that, in a nutshell, pretty much is his problem.

I take Greedo all the time with my old Boba build. That and Autoblaster. Determination EPT has saved me as well there.
