So what would you put the Boba Fett crew on? A Party Bus? (assuming you'd lose 4-LOM or so?) Or a cheap ship with 'Manger'?

Maybe you can also answer this question: 'Is Boba Fett Crew worth the 1 point cost?'

PS. I think that it is worth it because it is 1 point for 1 time use only with a severe crippling effect; if used right.

EDIT: I didn't know where to post, so I assumed this subforum...

I honestly don't know what happened! Somehow I made 1 post but it posted twice! how to fix?

EDIT: fixed

I think Boba crew is a nice 1 point filler, but I would not build a complete squad around it, solely relying on his successful triggering.

For sure there are better and worse combinations. HLC and Boba isn't a good match, mangler or proton torpedoes or calculation for example are. I'd further choose a ship which doesn't collapse on first contract.

Use the psychological factor when you play Boba: explain in detail what he does, don't rely on your opponent understanding by himself. Paint a dire picture. This way this one point upgrade will maybe lead to a different style of play on your opponents side, which should be worth even more points even without triggering.

Oh no, I certainly wasn't planning on making my whole squad be about him! I was wondering if it was worth it or if i should take something like K4 or so.

I had't thought of the psychological aspect of him, making my opponent nervous/feel threatened, certainly is a nice added factor.

The look on your opponents face when he loses his clutch upgrade card (maybe TLT on Miranda?) will be priceless for sure, positive psychology for you

Losing the title for Dengar has gutted me several times.

So far I've only tried him on Dengar. I didn't have any way of guaranteeing crits so it was left to chance a bit, but with Dengar's ability to potentially attack twice per turn you are increasing your chances of activating Boba just by rolling more dice.

Behold:

BOSSKPOON!

N'Dru Suhlak - (24) VI, Harpoon Missiles, Scavenger Crane, Guidance Chips
Bossk - (48) Trick Shot, Mangler Cannon, Harpoon Missiles, Greedo, 4-LOM, Boba Fett, Scavenger Crane, Guidance Chips
Torkil Mux - (28) Twin Laser Turret, Courier Droid, Moldy Crow

Ndru harpoons someone, Bossk rolls through and either mangles or harpoons as well. If Ndru harpooned successfully, theres no reason that Bossk can't be counted on to also deliver a crit. Before damage is dealt, the crit will trigger Harpooned. Greedo means the facedown card dealt is dealt face up, since its the first damage card dealt during the attack. Then the damage happens. Then Fett triggers, and if you want to, choose something to eject from his ship. Palp, HLC from Dash (lol the best thing to strip early), TLT from the double tap Kanan ghost, Kylo ren crew from RAC. The list goes on. And if you did this all right, you parked Torkil right on their doorstep so they're PS0 in the combat phase, so ALL THIS HAPPENS BEFORE THEY GET TO SHOOT.

If you have the point, he's worth it. But don't pass up something better worth more, and don't stress if you can't fit him.

Back before the errata for Jumpmaster Torpedos, I like the thought of teching Boba Fett onto Dengar instead of K4 Security Droid in the Dengar/Tel list, partly for the initiative bid.

However, now, I think it's pretty much Bossk and a Scurrg. Other folks have discussed Bossk (Missiles and Manger both have an appeal).

A Deadeye Lok Revenant with choice of Missile/Torp, GChips and Boba Fett also seems solid (maybe also Extra Munitions and/or Autoblaster Turret). Alternately, a cheap Karthakk Pirate with just Boba Fett and Long-Range Scanners seems like a decent 25 point filler ship.

My move would be on a Scurrg with Harpoons and a guidance chip. Played just like an old JM5k. Strip shields, strip an upgrade, giggle as you imagine Boba flying over to spin kick Palpatine or scrub off the Punishing One title.

I just know you are referring to this:

EDIT: it might be obvious but i didnt make this...

Weirdly enough, I wasn't directly. How apt though!

I had good success with Bona on Bossk with a mangler cannon at a regionals recently. Managed to steal tlts from a ghost and Miranda.
