Stuck between two lists

By WarriorOfIron13, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So right now I'm trying to figure out my tournament list and i really like the bossk bus, so im stuck between.

Dengar — JumpMaster 5000 33
Predator 3
K4 Security Droid 3
Unhinged Astromech 1
Glitterstim 2
Punishing One 12
Ship Total: 54
Bossk — YV-666 35
Veteran Instincts 1
"Mangler" Cannon 4
4-LOM 1
Zuckuss 1
K4 Security Droid 3
Inertial Dampeners 1
Ship Total: 46

and

Bossk — YV-666 35
Wired 1
"Mangler" Cannon 4
4-LOM 1
Zuckuss 1
Dengar 3
Inertial Dampeners 1
Ship Total: 46
Tel Trevura — JumpMaster 5000 30
Predator 3
"Gonk" 2
R4-B11 3
Hull Upgrade 3
Punishing One 12
Ship Total: 53

I'd probably take Dengar for the higher PS

first list screams better, however K4 and Predator are kinda redundant without munitions, maybe different crew or EPT? Pred you can use with your pilot ability for sure... so its good imo but K4 on top of it seems kinda silly, even R4 aggromech seems better overall than the K4/Unhinged on a pred dengar. overall tho def the first list, just tweak it a little somehow...

Dengar (Crack Shot, K4, Unhinged, Plasma Torps, Chips, Punishing One) - 53 points

Bossk (Veteran Instincts, K4, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, Homing Missiles, Chips, Inertial Dampeners) - 47 points

I agree with this, except I'd drop Predator for a different Elite instead of dropping K4.

I don't get this build. The most confusing part is R4-B11. If you're using Gonk to bank and regen shields, then you're not going to have target locks to use with R4-B11. I think you need to drop R4-B11 or drop "Gonk."

If you drop "Gonk," you can get K4 Security Droid or Weapons Engineer. K4 will mean you almost always have a target lock to use with R4-B11. Weapons Engineer means you still have to take an action to get a target lock, but you have two targets to choose from during the combat phase. I think K4 is probably the better choice because you have a turret anyway, so having multiple ships locked isn't as beneficial as when you are fixed to a forward firing arc.

If you are going to keep "Gonk," You need to choose a different droid. Since you're basically a tank and are taking a bunch of hull damage, I might go for Salvaged Astromech so that you can get rid of crits.

Oh my bad tel was suppose to have R5-P8 not R4 i put down the wrong mech!

Oh. That makes a lot more sense. :lol: I forgot all about R5-P8. I actually kinda like it here.

Yea my bad! I was reading your response and im like why would I need a target lock for that droid then I was like oh dang thats not what I want! Sorry for the confusion!

What about push the limits? I could also drop k4 and unhinged for something else to keep predator

With Unhinged Astromech, Push the Limit doesn't seem like a bad idea at all.

Overclocked R4 1
Glitterstim 2
