I really really like this combo, its got so much to deal with that target priority is a mess. However, my five cents is that the bomblet generator is a brilliant fit for Zuvio, as his primary is, suffice it to say, questionable. Dalan is lovely as is, super hard to pin down. And of course, PS9 Nym is just savage.

Ive been wanting to try a very similar build for Dalan, and Nym seems solid, but Zuvio seems like the weak link to me. I feel like there are better ships to fill the 27 pts that can be more useful like:

Viktor Hel with Intensity, XX23, Vaksai, Vectored Thrusters, Chimps, and Munitions Failsafe.

N'Dru Suhlak with VI, Cruise missiles, Stims, and Chimps.

Viktor's build comes in at 27 points and I feel like you get a whole lot more ship. N'dru AKA Andy packs a gnarly one time punch (up to 6 die with plenty of mods!) getting it off is a different story, but you definitely cant over look him if he's flanking. And he also comes in at PS9 and is only 23 points so it frees up another 4 to beef up Nym or have a bid.

Agreed. I've been toying with nym/zuvio myself and even though he adds a budget cad to the table he's just not worth his points without more bombs or shuffling the bomlet generator. Heck even a ruthless freelancer with cad an fcs would be better for that role, hes at least got a good chunk of health to hide behind if they prioritize cad and can dish out sizable damage without relying on range 1
