Hi fellow xwingers,

I have been playing with this list and really nejoy it, find it really easy to fly. Im thinking of entering it into regionals, was wandering if anyone had any critique/changes

Bossk (55) - YV-666
Wired (1), "Mangler" Cannon (4), Zuckuss (1), Dengar (3), 4-LOM (1), Hound's Tooth (6), Shield Upgrade (4)
Ketsu Onyo (45) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft
Veteran Instincts (1), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Shadow Caster (3), Gyroscopic Targeting (2)
I like the though of the pup popping out if bossk is the primary target of fire so would be reluctant to swap it out unless theres anythign that will improve the list massively. Also prefered shield over engine as after Zuckuss bums everyone out i doubt i would be able to use the engine upgrade.
Thanks in advance
Danny

Going against this list, I would burn down Bossk as fast as possible because Ketsu doesn't have the firepower or high action economy that would scare me at all. If you really want to keep the Hound's Tooth title, I'd take shield upgrade off of Bossk, swap Gyroscopic Targeting for Engine Upgrade on Ketsu, and then put Glitterstim also on Ketsu. Engine has been a HUGE deal on Ketsu with the speed she has, to reposition for her ability and just how fast you can get out of combat if you need to with it. You can also ram her into your target and pop Glitterstim on that turn when you tractor what you bumped into range 1 now not bumping and still have Glitterstim as a modification for your whole turn.

thats a good sugestion,

Im not totally against removing the hounds tooth title, just not sure what i could get for 6 points that would make me want to, may be just my noobness showing here :(

Being new is totally okay. Again, flying what's fun and what you enjoy is still better than shoeholing you into a "meta" list. It honestly could be an interesting surprise for your opponents since they're not used to seeing a pup pop out of Bossk after using so much to kill it. The problem is the pup doesn't threaten much when it's out in most cases.

I quickly came up with this list below:

Bossk w/ Mangler Cannon, Homing Missiles, 4LOM, Zuckuss, & K4 Security Droid

Ketsu w/ VI, Dengar, Glitterstim, ShadowCaster, Engine Upgrade

100 pts

Both pilots like having either K4 or Dengar on their crew slots, but if you have Homing Missiles on Bossk, you can green for a target lock for it and then focus as action for a very potent Homing Missile, especially with Bossk's ability. Against defenders these days, the Homing Missile will negate the evade token and 4LOM can cancel out their focus token. If you combo-ed that with Ketsu on the same target with at least 1 if not 2 tractor beam tokens (which means they had to have taken a damage if 2), thats gonna be a VERY hurt/potentially dead defender.

Thanks RStan, I have a week before my regional so will see how the engine on ketsu plays out. :)
