Bad Idea Boba?

By Psalm 112, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I like using unused ships. So when I bought the Firespray I immediately made this:

(Imperial) Boba Fett (39)

Navigator (3)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Slave 1 (0)

Extra Munitions (2)

Proximity Mines (3)

Total (48)

Soontir Fel (27)

Push The Limit (3)

Royal Grd. Tie (0)

Auto-thrusters (2)

Stealth Device (3)

Total (35)

Sienar Test Pilot (16)

Tie V.1 (1)

Total (17)

Grand Total (100)

The idea is to use navigator and Boba's ability to fly over people and then drop his bomb on them. Soontir is there so that your opponent doesn't have a good option. Either late game Soontir or 48 point Boba. Tie blocks and harasses. Also good as a chump blocker for U-boats. So, bad idea?

Yeah, bad idea.

Fettigator, while awesome, has no way of modifying dice at all (with the setup you're packing). That hurts his overall performance in the long run. Sure, you might be on a hot roll one particular day. But, most of the time, you'll be cursing your terrible offensive power with a costly ship. And no bombs are enough to cover for that. For the cherry on top, it's a Firespray without Engine Upgrade.

If you want to use Imperial Boba, may I suggest an ordnance-oriented build that actually puts his ability to use?

Too bad. Anyone else have a Boba list that actually works?

Considering an Imperial Boba:

Boba Fett (39):

  • Veteran Instincts (1)
  • Concussion Missiles (4)
  • Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Agent Kallus (2)
  • Slave-I (0)
  • Extra Munitions (2)

Total: 52 pts

A bit more expensive than the one you planned on using.

His ability sees use when engaging for a missile shot. @PS10, it's fairly easy to eliminate guesswork on your first approach.

Concussion's mod and Kallus take care of accuracy on your intended target.

After ordnance is gone, you still have a PS10 boost double-arc hunter.

Boba Fett (39):

  • Veteran Instincts (1)
  • Concussion Missiles (4)
  • Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Agent Kallus (2)
  • Slave-I (0)
  • Extra Munitions (2)
Total: 52 pts
