Fight fire with fire, bring your own partybus. Or Dengar, doesn't his ability count for gunner and the like? I'm curious to see how things would turn out if he just rushes bossk as range one.

I don't want to come across badly but...

Put that together before worlds, and playtested it. Predator, Mangler, IGD, Gunner, Zuck on Bossk ship. Works as advertised. Not good enough to take to worlds. Better is Bossk with Homing Missile and Guidance chips.

You can consistently force the miss on your first shot by using Predator to reroll any hits, and Zuckuss to force them to reroll green blanks/eyes. Then follow up with both Mangler and a Primary due to IGD and Gunner (you have to use the primary attack last) only now Predator and Zuckuss help you hit. Does good damage. Just not good enough damage because you spent an enormous number of points on a ship that is now carrying 5-6 stress, struggles to turn around, has a big base so it can't slow down and keep people in front of it, can only pull of this particular combo in it's front arc, and gives up VI so Bossk is a 7 rather than a 9. Switch to a different bus so you can cannon out the front 180, you lose Predator for all 3 attacks and your PS is even worse.

It's cute. It can wreck things. It's one particular corner case interaction that isn't really very good in the grand scheme of things. Bossk with Homing Missile, Zuck, and Guidance chips is cheaper, does as much damage on that first pass as super-buss, but doesn't fly away with the giant pile of stress or all the limitations that super-bus does.

For people who may still be hung up on "Immediately", from Frank:

"“Immediately” doesn’t really have a meaning. It is old verbiage that is trying to help players understand that it happens “now” verses three rounds from now. It is an eleven letter monstrosity whose only effect is to clutter up what little text space that exists on Upgrade cards. It has no effect on priority or timing and we have avoided using the word on more modern cards due to this. Don’t worry about it."

Lol

If it was anyone else claiming this.... I wouldn't believe it.
