So, after reading the Dengaroo vassal thread, CRCL had a cool build with Latts and Dengar.

That is my inspiration here, as well as my Kath & Bossk list. Kath survived and Bossk hit like a truck, but Kath wasnt punching through hard enough after Bossk died and I lost matches 29-26, etc. Need more firepower.

So here is B & Latts

IG-88B:

Outmaneuver

FCS

HLC

Ion Cannon

Glitterstim

Autothrusters

Latts:

Gunner

Bossk

Dengar

Feedback

B gets double taps on aces, Latts removes a green die for B (preferably after the first attack when FCS kicks in). Outmaneuver for after sloops. Glitter for swarms or sloops. Ion Cannon so even range 1 gets a double tap, and defenders cant kturn

Latts uses TL to reduce agi for B attacks. Rolls naked reds for gunner to kick in (Dengar allows him to reroll hits to misses to let gunner/bossk kick in. Then Latts uses his own TL to reduce opponents agi, plus still get full dice mods. Feedback is feedback, keep those nats away.

Played 1 match vs Deci and Echo. List worked great. Latts got shots on deci while him and B slowly cornered echo, and brobot did his thing while Latts reduced his agi. Deci went down pretty fast. Brobot lost a shield. Latts down to 4 hull remaining.

Latts ability really helps punch damage through and helps in the current meta with Dengaroos, Palp Aces, and x7 defenders.

I'd go gunner/bossk/k4 personally, then you can guarantee getting a TL every round even if you get bumped.

I suggest dropping the ion cannon for an ion bomb. I've found it useful against aces (although more the threat of it for area denial than actually getting to use it). Its also potentially huge against Dengar----since he's so predictable, its very easy to hit him with it and get behind him to deny his extra shot.

Yeah, I will have to give that a try as well. Ion bombs worked great with Kath at PS7. She was able to bomb dengar in my Dengaroo match. Ion cannon is there for double tap at range 1. Maybe go to tracker beam and ion bombs could be another option. That way if I miss at range 1, I can double tap the TB and perhaps throw them on a rock or even back into Latts arc. Or go fletchette cannon and dampners, to add ion bombs.

Definitely something I gotta play test. Initially had K4 for that reason, but when you roll 1 hit at range 1 vs a 1 or 2 agi ship and they roll eyeballs, they will gladly take 1 hit rather then waste a focus and you gunner and Bossk. Dengar will let me reroll that 1 hit into a miss to automatically kick in gunner/Bossk combo.

I would run latts with K4 , Dengar, and weapons engineer. That way you can strip the agility of two targets a round for both of your fire upon. Dengar is there so latts has rerolls. Add engine to latts for better maneuverability.

So will a TL tho?

Fun fact I just noticed, not sure if it would work in this particular build but it seems strong enough to mention. There's a new IG-88 crew coming out that can give Latts IG-88B's pilot ability. Now, unlike Gunner, IG-88B does not say that you can't perform another attack this round; that means in theory, on a ship with both, that you could miss your first attack and then shoot with a cannon and a primary weapon, provided you shot with the cannon first. Again, no idea if this idea would work in this build - it's probably better on Eval or Bossk - but I wanted to bring it up.

Indeed - the new IG whatever it is going to be would seem to fit in well here. I also highly recommend K4/gunner/bossk.

With Latts ability, you gotta spend the target lock when declaring a target, so no rerolls unfortunately.

I've had decent success with the following. I agree Dengar plus K4 makes sense, but I often let these two operate independently. There are spare points to play with so Lone Wolf could be Pred., the seismecs could go etc. The basic framework that I think works well is the k4/dengar on latts w/engine and feedback and HLC iggy w/adv. sensors and rerolls for every offensive shot (although I get the FCS choice as well).
