Hey all!

With the release of the next wave on the horizon, I got down to thinking about a Scum list that I had after GFH released, but I tabled it to wait for the M12 for more options. The original setup was a 41 point Guri, 32 point Jostero, and 26 point Serrisu. I posted that list way back somewhere in this forum, but then got down to thinking about swapping out Jostero for Hel with the extra point. It would work, but then I figured out I could do that swap, and then spend 41 points decking out Dalen in the M12. So far I have

Viktor Hel (ship total 33)

Vaksai

Expertise

Cruise Missiles

Ion Discharger

Pulsed Ray Shield

Guidance Chips

Vectored Thrusters

Serious (ship total 26)

Veteran Instincts

Heavy Scyk Interceptor

Pulsed Ray Shield

Tractor Beam

Dalen Oberos M12 (ship total 39)

Expertise

Enforcer

For a grand total of 31. So that leaves me with 9/10 points to mess around with. What do you guys thing is the best setup for him? Obviously he can capitalize on the reload with missiles/torpedoes on rounds he is puling himself back around. With his ability you don't have to worry about Agromech, so that rules out that mech for the Salvaged slot. What do you all think of it? (and for Dalen's upgrades)

So I have some thoughts. The concept is very strong, for sure.

I do not like Hel. I don't think he offers enough. I think you'd be better off with Talon for ace function or Jostero for jousting. Hel isn't really top $#!+ for either of those roles.

While the concept of Tractor Beam Serrisu, a boost for you and an annoyance to the opponent, is cool, I think, in the long run, it just makes for wasted points. No one will care enough about her to shoot her until the end, when she doesn't matter.

Inspired by your start, here's what I might suggest:

Dalan

Expertise

Harpoons

Enforcer

GC

(R4-B11 optional)

Jostero

Expertise

Harpoons

GC

VT

Scavenger Crane

Title

Serissu

Cannon Title

Ion Cannon

Pulsed Ray Shield

Expertise

Jostero is just a little more useful than Victor. Serissu can deal some real damage AND mess with the opponent. Dalan has things to do, and a lot of damage to deal.

I haven't gotten a chance to play Hel yet, but whenever I've played against him he has been super annoying, but tended to crumple extremely quickly to focus fire. Jostero I ditched before because I was planning to use him with the Serrisu tractor (but apparently a potential damage from tractor doesen't trigger Jostero). With the harpoon's though, I think your idea could totally work. It's probably one of the best lists involving the capability to deal ion and stress to a single ship being built into the list rather than focusing around it. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

Best,
