My Build:

Dengar JM5K- Expertise, K4 Security droid, Punishing One

Boba Firespray- adaptability, 4-Lom, gliterstim, harpoons, extra munitions, Slave one, guidance chips,

So this is how I think I want to play this

Turn Zero - Rock placement - I only have 2 ships so I don’t need to start in formation which means I don’t want straight asteroid lanes 20-30^ from each other.

I want my rocks to be just under range 3 so people can’t place rocks at range 2 from the edge this allows my big based ships to fly nicely around the outside of the map.

Another point is that I want my ships to engage at the same time to the opponent can not focus one.

My Strategy

Jousting... kinda?

Because Boba and Dengar both have back arcs if I have a a higher attack (including Dengars ability)I can go and attack at range 1 so Dengar can get a double attack and boba to reroll then go past them an shoot behind me. If we can have a engagement head on then do a 3/4 speed manoeuvre to get past there ships the fire again with actions as they either won’t attack or have a stress from a k turn. After the first + second engagement I want to back out and make sure I am out of range before I turn around.

End game

As I can’t overly predict the mid game for the end game I want Dengar preferably to be having the 1v1 however as Dengar is the better ship he will most likely be targeted. I need to use Dengars ability to try and scare my opponent to attack Boba this will help Dengar to survive longer.

So my Rounds are like this:

1. slow start
2. Attack at range 3 with harpoons
3. Attack at range 1
4. Pass them and attack at range 2 with harpoons with back arcs
5. Turn around out of range if any attacks
6. Try to put the higher health ship at range 1 and the lower health ship at range 2

what do you think how should I change up my strat for this squad? What would you do?

You cannot fire harpoon missiles from your rear arc, if that's what you're suggesting here.

Secondary weapons are primary arc only unless specified otherwise on the upgrade card.

Boba Fett wants to be at range 1 - his pilot ability makes him brutal at range 1 of an opponent. If you have the points, either Expert Handling (because large ship barrel roll goes a long way to making up for the firespray's so-so dial and lack of repositioning) or fearlessness (which works out of front and back arc) are scary effective given his pilot ability.

One especially nasty combination I've seen is:

• Boba Fett
  • Slave 1
  • Fearlessness
  • Cluster Missiles
  • K4 Security Droid
  • Glitterstim
  • Countermeasures

It's very much a dedicated brawler for 'in close' work, but:

• You move in with a green move, gaining a free lock
• You can evade as your action
• Trigger glitterstim
• Assuming you're at range 1 of your target:
  • Attacking - 3 red dice, rerolling 1 dice, change all focus to hits and then add an extra hit for fearlessness
  • Defending - 3 green dice, rerolling 1, change all focus to evade and then evade token as required

you can probably do better (scavenger crane sounds good) but building scum fett for knife fighting is generally the best bet.

At range 1, the Firespray will roll 4 red dice

I think he's talking about the cluster missile going off. In which case you get 2x 3 red dice attacks with reroll and auto focus from glitter. Then both get added 1 hit from fearlessness. I've gotten one of these off before on an IG and between those cluster missiles and my other ship attacking, it burned him from full health to dead. Can be pretty brutal.

Get it. Context...
