Just sharing a list inspired by Dengaroo, that utilises mindlink rather than Manaroo to feed Dengar focus tokens:

48 Dengar w/ Mindlink, Zuckuss, Overclocked, Title.

28 4-LOM w/ Mindlink.

24 Palob w/ Mindlink, Dorsal.

All three pilots are jerks. Dengar with Zuckuss crew excels at shredding enemy ships that rely on agility, and essentially has permanent glitterstim as long as the other two ships are alive. Palob's great for several reasons; his turret and ability mean he doesn't really care about Dengar stressing him, he's great against Dengaroo lists, he strips tokens so Zuckuss works even better, and he loves stealing Omega Leader's evade token.

The last ship was harder to decide, but I noticed that 4-LOM with mindlink was exactly 28pts. It was meant to be! 4-LOM is another pilot who loves the extra focus from mindlink, but doesn't care about the stress all that much. He can roll up with his focus from Palob, TL the enemy for a double modded shot, then pass off his stress to an enemy at R1.

I'm still tweaking the list. I could switch Palob's dorsal turret for an ABT and use the saved point for Dampeners on Dengar, or possibly Misthunter on 4-LOM. Not sure if the loss of the Dorsal is that big a deal, as Palob's main job is stripping tokens and feeding Dengar, though the R1-2 shot occasionally does some damage.

Let me know what you think.

In my experience, those 28 points are points well spent. It's very rare that anyone will target 4-LOM first, which allows him to get up close, take a TL, fire his fully modified 4 dice attack and then pass off a stress. If you can do that a few times in a game, then he's absolutely worth the points.

Only thing is, you're going to have to be really careful flying him. His dial is poor, and without the title he has super low mobility. You have to rely heavily on prediction and careful placement to get the most out of him.

Yeah, after playing a few more games I'm very tempted to downgrade Palob's turret to and ABT to get misthunter on 4-LOM. The list did well, but having that extra mobility would have helped a few times. Also Palob draws aggro like crazy, so keeping him cheap is probably better.
