For dengar which do people think?

He hasent got k4 and doesnt self stress which is one less need for greens.

I like the idea of the possible free damage for being attacked but just not sure which will give the better mileage

R5-P8 is always a pain in a** and since you don't run K4 / PTL / other stress/green build, take it!

R5 has killed so many ships, in the games i've used him. The thing is at some point, they gonna have to shot dengar and R5 will trigger.

Unhinged astromech is only really great when you need those green moves (for whatever reason) - it's not like the Jumpmaster has a bad dial, after all.

On a Y-wing, where it's turning red moves green, it's worth a thought even on a non-stress build, but not really for a jumpmaster.

The fact that R5P8 is rangeless and arc independent is rather irritating. Ive faced him a few times on a Dengar and yeah f that guy lol.
Its undodgable, thats the main thing. I rarely use beefy ships, 6hp is typically the max i use, so that 1 autohit tends to be irritating. I've had games lose because that fink zapped me at range3 and brought me to critical level so odds of me surviving another attack from Dengar was next to impossible.

If people are afraid of Rebel Captive stress, they should definitely be afraid of R5P8. While not guaranteed, he actually hurts you while rebel captive just messes with you lol

Overclocked. All day, every day.

But you've got to ask the question: what is better than K4 Unhinged Expertise on Dengar, that makes it worth dropping all of them for a different droid?

well if hes running expertise (which isnt a bad idea for a doubletapper) he has his action for a targetlock as it is. K4 is still useful, but not exactly mandatory. You could easily swap him out for other shenanigans, and once hes gone you dont really need unhinged.

I'm serious: what's better than K4 for Dengar? Making him bump proof is amazing, and if he doesn't bump, leaving is action free for defence is also amazing. UNless you're going for the full pseudo-dengaroo build where you use OCR4 to give the entire list lots of focus tokens, and even then, K4 is still best, because it gets you stressproof actions.

You've got to work VERY hard to find a better option for a single Scum crew slot than Dengar then K4 in that order.

The other Dengar I've always been partial to is VI RecSpec R4 Agromech, but it's not as good as K4/Expertise.

I swear by K4 and R4-B11.
I'm not impressed by Unhinged, so I'd go with R5-P8, if I had to make the choice.

I think r5 it is. Crew is taken up by cad bane hence no k4.

Or really get annoying and run Gonk and Pain-Bot. No one wants to shoot him.

Overclocked and K4 is a great way to fly Dengar...

... then you put this on your other Jumpmaster (whether it's Tel or Manaroo). Also note that Hull Upgrade is amazing on Tel!

If you want Bane, I'd go for the least controversial droid (the most multi-purpose). Mad bomber Dengar still wants to shoot stuff, so I'd go with R4 Agromech. Your first Dengar shot has a focus, your second has a target lock. It really makes people think twice about even attacking him!

he has Expertise what would he want Agro/Overclock for?

I think Lone Wolf or Predator is better than Expertise. K4/Overclocked/Predator is really nasty, because you get rerolls and focus on your torpedoes. Alternatively, Lone Wolf helps out on the defense.
