Bossk-Zuckuss Lists

By Budgernaut, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Title says it all. What's the best list you can build utilizing both Bossk pilot and Zuckuss pilot? I fly these two all the time, but I'm curious to see what different takes other people might have on this duo. Oh, and feel free to add other ships, but the list must include Bossk pilot and Zuckuss pilot.

Hi. I've just built this list for a tournament in my city this Saturday. Hope it really works as it works in my mind.

Bossk (49)

Fearlessness

Autoblaster

Engine Upgrade

4-Lom

Dengar

Zuckuss (39)

Veteran Instincts

Advanced Sensors

Munitions Failsafe

Outlaw Tech

Mist Hunter

"Hot Shot" Blaster

Tractor Beam

Binayre Pirate (12)

I've been playing Zuckuss this way for a while and I like how it moves, regardless the G1-A it's somehow a little bit difficult to play. The Adv. Sensors/Outlaw Tech/Mist Hunter combo makes him unpredictable: just barrel roll or target lock, then you can freely make that one 3-4 Red maneuver and then you get a Focus Token.

I like to play Bossk equipped with Autoblaster to roll enough reds that the opponent can't evade, and with 4-Lom you get rid of those Defender's Evade/Focus Tokens in the case of two critical hits.

How did it end up working out?

Do you feel you are gettingyour money's worth out of Hot shot blaster/munitions failsafe?

I have never thought of that.

Just a thought.

isnt Moralo better with that setup? 180 arc autoblaster/fearless?

Also u cancel crits before hits vs autoblaster wich renders minimal chance to trigger Bossks ability?

Moralo has no EPT unfortunately :( but for the Autoblaster I agree.

My favourite Bossk loadout would be Mangler, Dengar, Zuckuss, Inspiring Recruit, Engine and Expertise. Since you are using Zuckuss pilot that won't work ;) Instead you could drop Zuckuss and Inspiring Recruit and go for Gonk (my favourite) or Latts or Outlaw Tech.

My favourite Zuckuss pilot build has him with Advanced Sensors, Outlaw tech, VI and title. The combination of high pilot skill, advs evade action/target lock, red move and focus is super fun. Even if you bump it doesn't matter. the only downside is that you have to plan a green move afterwards and the greens on the Misthunter are limited ;)

Hope this helps a bit! have fun :D

I'm a huge fan of Outlaw Tech on Bossk, especially if you have Dengar crew. I even use Outlaw Tech in an Attanni list with Bossk, Zuckuss and Fenn/Cobra. If Bossk needs to stop, he can do it and still give focus tokens to everyone else. They just have to plan for green maneuvers that turn.

Agreed! I used to play him with Outlaw Tech all the time. Before he was popular :P I even played him with Calculation. which is especially usefull with Outlaw Tech as it generates that needed focus for the crit even on the stops :D

I have never thought of that. O

It seems to work for me, and some others have been telling me it's a great combo.
