So recently I've seen quite a few Firespray lists capitalizing on Cad Bane to improve the ships bombing capabilities. With Cad, EM, and the slave one title you have 4 bombs to work with. Slap this on Emon Azzameen for even crazier bombing shenanigans. What do we all think? Is this a (somewhat) viable option or is the poor Firespray still just not quite good enough? Any opinions, positive or negative, are sincerely appreciated.

massive quotations around "viable", because the poor thing just drops like a fly regardless, but yeah it can actually do things now

see this dengar?

yeah, I shot him once for 1 damage

its still a rather clunky ship and i stand by that being its main issue. Why it doesnt have 1turns while the falcon does is beyond me.

However, i think Emon w/ Bomblets might be worth investing. Thats a huge no-go area he can cover lol

Emon w/ Bomblets is why I picked up the Scurrg in the first place. However I'm more likely to go Dengar crew rather than Cad Bane I think.

I'm testing Kath in the Firespray and Dangar in the toilet seat 5000. The two should do well together. I'm not sure if putting the trash shoot on the 5000 for an even 100 or leaving it at 99 is better

Lack of mods on non bombs does sorta taint the honey moon

I do think bomblett emon would be better off with dengar + actions and his signature title (that no one has,had any use for thanks to em, till now)

i ran mine with clusters alongside Nym for moar bombs, and the bombs were spectacular but everuthing else painful

I really enjoy running Boba with PTL, Isard and Engine Upgrade.

Going to be even more fun with unlimited bombs.

Truth, if youre going bomblett route there really isnt a reason to go for the torp slot anyway.
Firespray can use cruise missiles but i dont think i'd bother trying to get more than 1 of those off and it woudl probably only happen on a kturn anyway. So going the EM route is kinda pointless.

Curious....wonder if you can do a EmonNym build where youre mainly using Emon to control the battlefield and provide bonus evades via Nym...might not be as viable as i think it is but interesting.

Emo Nym?

Emonym?

Eminem?

Played it sat for an sc, did not do well because ive never flown the scurrg and tge spray is the only ship ive ever flown off the board ever

Doubt it is viable as the two are so frail for how expensive they are

Its fun as all hell, though

Imperial Boba:

Lone Wolf

HLC

Recon Spec

Countermeasures

Only build I have found that can survive and dish damage reliably.

Bomblet generator might help alot to control range 1 a little better.

Emon with Bomblets and Cad rained all kinds of holy hell down on me yesterday. Granted, I kept forgetting Bomblets don't go away and so kept chasing him, but Cad's re-rolls really made it hurt.

That seems to be a common issue right now.

I ran 10 games with the Denym build (5 of which were in a 44player store champ) and most of the games my opponent openly stated "Ah crap i forgot thats unlimited"
I imagine in a month or so that wont be as much of a factor. Forgetting part, not the unlimited bomb part.

It needs moar! But it's a start
