I am putting together a two-ship Scum list for my 8 year-old son. I thought TimeWalk Assaj (LW+2xGS+CM+Latts) was a good starting point. I was thinking of something along these lines as he likes Boba and bombs.

Asajj Ventress (51)
Lancer-class Pursuit Craft (37), Lone Wolf (2), Latts Razzi (2), Glitterstim (2), Glitterstim (2), Shadow Caster (3), Counter-Measures (3)

Boba Fett (49)
Firespray-31 (39), Fearlessness (1), Ketsu Onyo (1), Rigged Cargo Chute (1), Andrasta (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Bomblet Generator (3)

Has anyone flown anything similar or have useful advice for me? Anything would be much appreciated!

That’s a lot of stuff for an eight year old to keep track of...

If he likes bombs maybe azzameen? more fun bomb stuff and you can really control the board with bombs, and stress shenanigans

On your list, I’d probably drop the Cargo Chute to put PTL on Asajj. That’ll help keep ships in the mobile arc without having to sacrifice a modifying action. Boba and Asajj are great together, but as @CMDR Ytterium said, he’s probably not the best Bomber in the Firespray.

This is about to be my primary competitive list. I’ve flown it twice so far and both games have been some of my favorites ever playing this game:

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)
Fearlessness (1)
K4 Security Droid (3)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Extra Munitions (2)
Guidance Chips (0)
Slave I (0)

Asajj Ventress (37)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Latts Razzi (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Scavenger Crane (2)
Countermeasures (3)
Shadow Caster (3)

Total: 100

I’d agree with this. Ketsu is probably the easier Shadowcaster pilot to use, as you want to try to keep the mobile arc facing the front as much as possible.

So in general, what is the purpose of Scum Boba? Is he a ''Lone Wolf'', bomber, Alpha Strike, Hit'nRun, persuit, joust, Arc-dodge, what is he?

He is by all means a point trap... So how to keep him cheap (not-fat)

There is a list called Moby d i c k (like the book), which uses Boba and asajj if I remember correctly. Unfortunately this forum turns it into Moby ****...

Boba needs EU. And I agree it's a lot of moving parts to keep track off.

Check out the latest Mynock Squadron podcast for some discussion of this list, which did well at a recent regional. It's easier to fly and hard hitting. Both ships move and shoot at PS 8, just jam Boba in the enemies faces, use the Shadowcaster title to tractor enemies into his r1 and glitter when needed.

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)
Fearlessness (1)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
Glitterstim (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Asajj Ventress (37)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Latts Razzi (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Countermeasures (3)
Shadow Caster (3)

Total: 100

I am concerned about that, but the idea is to give him something that he will play for a while and get more practice with increasingly complex triggers. As his father I am biased, but he is a pretty smart kid that likes being intellectually challenged.

An excellent point...I guess I imagined him as a 'Alpha Strike' that he could shove in to take some ships out and put him in a position to close games with Assaj.

I was curious about this take.

Thanks for the council. I will run him through these for a couple games and see what sticks. He likes my Rey build as well, so maybe he'll land in the Rebellion.

Don't ever let him land in the rebellion. The pay sucks. You want better for your son. Scum and Villainy all the way.

Ketsu on Fett is a problem as I see it. Use it for something else more beneficial. I would get rid of Ketsu and cargo chute, and use Cad Bane instead especially if he likes the bombs.

So, agreeing, Boba and Asajj are already gonna be tough for an 8 y/o, but here's my hat in the ring:

Boba

VI

EU

Choice of crew

Asajj

PTK

Latts

Glitter

Scavenger Crane

Countermeasures

My 9 year old likes to play Boba so I keep it simple.

Boba

Heavy laser canon

proton torpedo

gunner

depending on who I choose I bump up his ps

I usually fly a Falcon and we duel that way.
