So, let's talk about this lady.

Since Scum is mostly lacking a decent stress engine it doesn't really seem feasible to building your list around her. So I am wondering whether she is worth bringing her on her own and just hope for your opponent to be stressed.

On one hand we have ptl-aces which tend to stress themselves out pretty much every turn, and removing that stress will not really impact there next turn. But of course there is still might be a Yorr to ruin your fun.

And then there are the Jumpmasters. Since Unhinged are pretty much the go-to right now you will probably get some use out of Razzi, especially against those vital first torpedoes. And then you have Dengar, who is practically stockpiling stress-tokens.

Against everything else... i guess most people have to k-turn some time?

That said, it is still a situational upgrade in a highly contested slot, so I am just not sure if she is worth the price of admission.

Assajj might be able to use her ability to feed Latts crew, but that's about it really. 4 LOM triggers at the start of the end phase. If he worked at start of combat he wouldn't be a bad choice, but he's really better off as is to combat stress attacks. Hard to say where she'll foot for 2 points... Probably should have been 1.

Possible combinations are:

* with R5-P8 (late game winner) when you have just to defend against maximal 2 hits (or 3 in range 1)

* With Tactician in a slaver (has to be high PS, so not the best option)

* Top against aces (Soontir, Carnor, Zeta Leader, Inquisitor, Jake, Tycho, Dash, Dengaroo (Zuckuss or PTL))

* Good against "Wired"

* Good against slooping Brobots

A counter to Kyle crew. No free focus next round. Other than that very situational. I suspect another wave and she may have more potential

She seems okay, though I think I would rather have paid more points to remove one of my own stress tokens to gain an evade result, though this may have been too good with zuckuss.

Tactician/latts on a yv 666 might see some play, maybe on morelo or maybe stock her on a TLT HWK for a bit more survivability vs PTL aces/ overclocked jump masters (hmmmm palob with predator/mind link, TLT, latts stealth device may be a tough nut to crack for some aces)

Meeeehhhhh. Too expensive in points, too high a risk of not coming into play at all, and too high a cost to use when fighting PTL aces (opening the dial for them is huge), not to mention coming in a slot which has SO many competitive options for less points.

I can see some uses for her, but really, really not many, and none of them really justify the 2 point cost.

Another one to gather dust in the binder

Instead, a free one this round, so...

What does 4-LOM have to do with any of this?

He's a potential user of Latts crew. You drive up to someone, they're stressed you're stressed, she clears one of their stresses, you throw them yours.

But again... you could just have had Zuckuss crew to give them a second stress and cost them an evade instead, and had an extra point intoo the bargain. Or Ketsu crew to make your TB tokens stick around.

What does 4-LOM have to do with any of this?

Oh, sorry wasn't clear. Meant that he has an ability that can assign stress, which was relative to what I was saying about Assajj.

Stress hog will have a hard time hitting a ship with her on it

Harder, but it's still only one extra evade per shot. And if she's taking all its stress away, then it's got a much easier time lining up those shots.

I actually completely forgot that he is a pilot too.

Here's the real thing with Latts for me: she's a crew card in the faction for which the Crew slot is by far its best. We're talking about the faction in which Boba Fett, the guy who can airlock Palpatine, is probably the 5th or 6th best crew card. I don't know how Latts competes with:

Zuckuss

4LOM

Dengar

IG88D

K4

Boba

Bossk

GONK

Ketsu

And that's just the Scum only ones. She also has to fight for her place with RecSpec, Tactician, Gunner.

She's strong. In Rebels she would have been top flight. In scum she's like tier 3.

It's not a big deal to remove stress from a PTL ace, as most of them are able to evade you with greens anyway. You're basically depriving them of a hit/crit result, which keeps you alive longer to shoot them back.

A free one that can't be used on this attack. They may be able to use it on defense, but that still takes the punch out of their offensive action economy.

Eh, if people are using Kyle any more it's going to be on SloopFalcons anyway.

All the fashionable Dashes are using Kanan.

YV-666, Greedo, Razzi, 4-Lom.

Crit dealing machine that suddenly survives longer against aces and has an easier time avoiding self inflicted crits.

And add Feedback array to keep range 1 safe

PtL is everywhere. Razzi seems intended for use against PtL aces. She loves Tycho most of all. Keyan Farlander seems like a hard counter to her ability (attacker's dice are modded first, so he'll spend his stress before she gets a chance to).

She's gonna be hot.

R3-A2 effect is optional, not obligatory.

When you declare the target of your attack, if the defender is inside your firing arc, you may receive 1 stress token to cause the defender to receive 1 stress token.

I'm not sure why a Stresshog wouldn't want to stress a ship with Latts. It seems like a trade in which the Stresshog comes out ahead.

Wow. That's an interesting crew.

In this case I support it, but STOP USING THE ADD A DIE RESULT wording! Its blatant power creep! Stop stop stop stop stop stop. Stop.

So, let's talk about this lady.

I think...she has terrible hair.

Agreed. If you have a spare crew slot, she's amazing protection against anyone carrying stress around - the Push The Limit crowd, Zeta Leader, Overclocked R4s, Keyan Farlander, and so on.

Against Push The Limit/Rage Tycho and his 2-dice primary weapon popguns, you are officially allowed to laugh like a drain.

The problem is the 'spare crew slot' - I'd say she's a great fit for a YV-666 - which makes sense; that's her ship! - and after all, she only has to trigger once in the game to do more for you than a shield upgrade. On a Firespray, or Jumpmaster...... I dunno. She's cheap but you usually want that crew slot for something more aggressive.

Definitely agreed.
