Bossk with 2 jumpmasters??????

By Plymouthdean86, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just wondering if there is a list with these 3 ships and if not, how would people build this

Its possible but you only have 15 points for upgrades. Lots of hit points to chew threw for sure.

Bossk - ML

Scout - ML, EM and Plasma

Scout - ML, EM and Plasma

that is 98 points.

Honestly I doubt you'd be able to fit enough upgrades to make it worthwhile. Even stripped to their barest (Mindlink, Plasma, EM, Chips) the two scouts only leave you space for 2 points of upgrades on Bossk once you give him Mindlink.

There's just not enough room to build.

Yea that's what I thought, it's a shame cuz I've never flown my hounds tooth and really want to

There are plenty of Slaver lists.

Try Dengar / Bossk, that list was really successful at Worlds.

Ketsu/Bossk is definitely a thing. Ketsu nukes chosen target's agility, Bossk finishes it with CLuster Missiles, regens them with Scavenger Crane, repeat as needed.

My preferred build is Ketsu/PTL/title/K4/Engine, Bossk/Determination/Dengar/K4/Greedo/Cluster Missile/Crane/Chips.

It *all* hinges on the alpha, you absolutely have to nuke something to death in the first pass or it all goes horribly wrong.

I don't think you use them as torpedo scouts. I think they're bumpmasters that control range of your opponent (and Bossk) to maximize his killing power.

Scout, Trick Shot, Intel Agent, Rigged Cargo Chute = 27x2=54

Bossk, Fearlessness, Dengar, 4-LOM, Zuckuss = 41

There's 5 points left for further customization.

I'd maybe look at Bossk 1 bumpmaster and 1 torp boat in that context - but then the question becomes whether Bossk is better than a torp boat, and personally my impression is that without someone around to token strip and/or reduce agility before he shoots, he probably isn't.

I'd go for something more like this:

Contracted Scout [Anti-Pursuit Lasers] (27) x 2
Bossk [A Score to Settle, “Mangler” Cannon, Boba Fett, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, Engine Upgrade] (46)


Use the boats for attrition and getting your opponent out of position/prevent them from performing actions. You also get a shot at doing damage on the bump. With two of them you have a good chance of completely messing up your opponent's movement. Bossk lumbers behind, staying out of range one, keeping him a bit safer, and doing a good amount of damage.

I threw in A Score to Settle because it works well with Bossk's ability in the early game. It helps you take out a big threat early. Boba is in there for the same reason: you can choose to use the crit to kill an upgrade, or to add more damage. With Mangler and Score, there is a pretty good chance that you are going to get crits through.

I don't know. I'm still pretty new at this, but it seems like it could be fun.

That's a real question. You might be right.
