So essentially you have 4 Rigged Cargos (unless you want to Vizago one, but he’s more there because I ran out of points), plus the 3 Debris you brought, and the 3 obstacles your opponent brought. Total of 10. Which gives you 2 3 dice PWT plus a 4 dice Mangler Cannon with Bossk’s ability.

This is janky. I like it. I might drop that Intelligence Agent to get Rigged Cargo Shoot on Bossk as well.

I thought of it, but Bossk will probably never have any actions to do it. If he does he’s gonna want that focus badly.

The problem with the list is I need 4 Chutes. I only got 1 right now.

Honestly, with free Dengar re-rolls on Bossk, skipping one turn of focusing to drop the Cargo could be well worth it.

As for needing more chutes? Well yeah, that's an issue. But until you take it to a tournament, you can proxy - even just print out some of your own cargo tokens to use in casual games. At a tournament, I'm sure you could borrow, or find on ebay if you want to own it.

I’m thinking more he’s going to be stopping, self bumping, etc. He’s not ever gonna have good position to pull it off like the Jumpmasters do.

Oh that makes sense

Was able to borrow enough last night. Won pretty easily. However, I think 2 Riggs are more than enough to pull off Trick Shot every turn. So I’m gonna go with this version I came up with. Also easier to borrow 1 token instead of 3 each time lol.

With Jabba-Bossk, I like the thought of Hotshot Blaster. The rear half of a YV is a little vulnerable, and while HSB is weak as a one-shot, being able to get two shots out of it could be worthwhile. Personally, I just hate having to spend points on a Mangler Cannon, when I could get something like an Engine Upgrade instead.

If you've moved past Jabba to other Bossk builds, I know a lot of folks like the Guidance Chips/Scavenger Crane/Missile builds. Dropping Mangler and two points of crew would get Crane and one of Cluster, Harpoon, or Concussion. That could be dropping either of Tactician or Latts, or swapping both for something like Zuckuss and 4-LOM. It's not nearly as strong as it once was, but it'd have the potential to allow a big "pop" a few times per game on high agility targets.

I think you should keep Jabba tbh, thats a lot of very useful cargo to drop. I also think @theBitterFig has a point, HSB could be a useful guard on Bossk.

YV is going to have very little actions throughout the game. Engine is a bad cal in this particular list simply because he’s never going to be able to use it with so much debris.

I like the the idea of Clusters. Bossk really is the hammer in the list and anything to improve his alpha is good.

Sounds pretty tight, but I was wondering how would asajj do in Bossks place, yeah you lose alpha all together but you don’t have to alpha because you could just control and suppress them all game. And I mean asajj with title,ptl,latte, gyroscopic

I’ve actually been even running Asajj in its place before I thought of this list and still running it until as my second list I take to the store. I just had PTL/Latts on her and had Ion Projectors on the Scouts. It’s really good. The problem has been Asajj moves so fast it, the Scouts need room and the Chute tokens can cause havoc for her. However, I would like to try it without Ion Projectors and the Gyro like you mentioned to free up the action economy so I don’t need PTL so her dial can slow down. I just haven’t quite had time to test out different versions of her yet with them.

Me either, with the title you can set players up for disaster even easier. And the lowered agility makes all three ships hit harder. But I really have not had the time to test it more then a few games, it’s good for sure, but gotta give it more time. And yes the gyro does a great job of letting you token up or keep you from using ptl every turn

I would do this for my local meta. Mainly because 4 Starviper’s plus Sunny is a thing now here, so Predator becomes awesome.

Yeah it does free up the dial a lot to just have predator, But yeah that’s for sure a meta call.

Also how good is that star viper list?

It takes a good player to run it, but it’s for sure very good. It also has the best final Salvo in the game, so if it does have a bad match up it can always resort to that. I’ve played the list once and my mind hurt so bad afterwards. Simply because it’s like running 4 echos plus another ship. The thing that will hold it back is the price tag. 4 regular Starviper’s, 2G4H, plus a C-Roc.

Here’s an interview of the guy that started running it out here. The final game should be on YouTube by the end this week of him versus my Dengar/Boba list.
