I'm going to a tournament in a few hours, I was thinking about running this. What do you guys think?

-Dengar (33)

Predator (3)

K4 Security Droid (3)

-R4-B11 (3)

Glitterstim (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

-Punishing One (12)

-Zuckuss (28)

Veteran Instincts (1)

-"Gonk" (2)

Fire-Control System (2)

Glitterstim (2)

-Experimental Interface (3)

-Mist Hunter (0)

-Tractor Beam (1)

-99 Points-

Do you think Zuckuss will last long enough? Should I use 4-Lom instead of Zuckuss? Should I use Sensor Jammer? Please help!

Personally I like flying 4-LOM instead of Zuckuss just to clear stress a bit faster, but you're flying Dengar so I'm guessing you fly pretty head on anyways, so stick with what you have.

The list looks good. Should be fun to fly.

I would change Predator and either Glitter on Dengar for Expertise , if you can. At only one point more than Predator Expertise is way better and it gives you a 2 point initiative bid for both Dengar and Zuckuss against ships like Fenn Rau, Quickdraw, Vader... which can be very importent

Alternatively you could run this list:

Starviper, Guri - Mindlink, Autothrusters (33)

G-1A, Zuckuss - Mindlink, 4-LOM, Electronic Baffle, Misthunter, Tractor Beam (32)

Jump-5000, Contracted Scout - Mindlink, R5-P8, Intelligence Agent, Feedback Array, Ion Projector (34)

In this build you should use the Junpmaster to bump and thereby steal actions. Intelligence Agent combined with barrel roll secures you know where to bump and can bump them. Ion Projector ionices them and feedback array secures damage against aces. R5-P8 helps protect against attacks - deals damage against the attacker.

Guri secures focus for mindlink with her ability even when bumping or takes focus action and guns for them.

Zuckuss uses his ability allways. 4 attackdice vs. 4 defencedice is a lot better than 3 attackdice vs. 3 defencedice. And this gets even better when 4-LOM prevents them from using focus, which is a VERY big difference at 4 or 5 defencedice. Electronic Baffle can prevent Zuckuss from being ioniced from EB if necessary. He functions as your hammer with focus from Guri and taking TL action gunning 4 or 5 attackdice against a focusless enemy because of 4-LOM.

I think you might have better synergies and action efficiency with this list:

(99)

Cartel Marauder (30) - Kihraxz
Assault Missiles (5), "Hot Shot" Blaster (3), Vectored Thrusters (2)

Dace Bonearm (38) - HWK-290
Expose (4), Blaster Turret (4), Saboteur (2), Scavenger Crane (2), Stealth Device (3)

Black Sun Enforcer (31) - StarViper
Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)

Has this squad been tested in tournaments?

Do you think it would work better with Zuckuss?

No it has not, but I have played a similar build in a tournament, where I was running Fenn Rau (mindlink, title, AT) instead of Zuckuss as damagedealer with great succes. Had I won the last match, then I would have won the tournement

Of cause 4-lom can pass the stress, when you use EI and that build is better than your first suggestion. But I would personelly not exchance this for the extra attack die Zuckuss gets. Furthermore you drop PS to 8 and your ships must move Dengar first then 4-lom, where as with Zuckuss you decide in which order to move them, which can prevent bumping and bad positioning.

Thanks! I think I have my build then!

Word of advice take your time with positioning before engaging the enemy especially with Zuckuss/4-lom and gonk each round, but do not use EI when positioning, so you are not stressed if the enemy surprises you with an unexpected maneuver, so you will be forced to keep the stress to position Zuckuss/4-lom. If I were your opponent I would try to catch Zuckuss/4-lom in a bad position while stressed.
If Zuckuss/4-lom has been caught in a bad position allways take evades never focus. Evade is better than focus at 1-3 defence dice. Only at 4+ evadedice is focus better

Good luck

How did it work for you?

Thats a new one

How did you do in the orther games - did the build work well for you?

Should have brought Bonearm
