So lets talk Boba, preferably scum version. What is his role in a squad? He has so many options which you ofcourse dont use all at once. So what to use and what not?

I know that Boba isnt the absolute competitive top at the moment, but I am still wondering. Experiences are very much appreciated!

Imp Boba, VI, Tail Gunner. He ‘repositions’ at ps 10, hits hard-ish from the aft, and that frees up his action for Evade. Slave one title because. And LRS if you want that early TL for mods and more ‘action economy’. You could do worse for 42 points.

Scum Fett has Fearlessness, but pretty much the same stuff for 42 pts. Maybe put a scum only crew in there for flavor instead. Illicit? Dunno

The only Boba Fett I'll ever play is:

Imperial
PTL
Isard
Engine Upgrade

It's 50 points, but it's the most fun 50 points I've ever flown.

Throw on a bomb or 2 and pair it with an ace of your choosing (mine's Whisper).

His role?

He bounty hunts for the Jabba Hutt to finance his vette.

That's an anti-combo: Isard gives an evade *action*, so if you PTL or K-turn you don't get her evade. Then, she only triggers if you are already at half-points.

If you are spending 50 points on Imp Boba, you might as well bring

(Veteran Instincts, Navigator, Engine Upgrade, Andrasta, Bomblet Generator)-50

It's his only workable gimmick.

That's why you PTL off Isard's evade *action*, giving you boost action in the combat phase.

His best role is as a super cheap crew upgrade that can permanently destroy another ship's key gimmick. See you later TLT, Title card, R2.

Bombs, missiles, torpedoes, crew, cannon. The man's got it all, he's a superb hunter killer that excels at nothing but has his hand in all the cookie jars.

I usually play Scum Boba, and use him as a range 1 brawler. Fit him with fearlessness, autoblaster, your choice of crew (4-LOM for me), and eu and you have a close quarters bruiser that can “zoom-and-boom.”

Precisely, and notably AFTER Rebel Fenn does his shanigans.

Scum Boba with VI to fire missiles on the way in and then to crash into range one and kick ***. Or cry when they barrel roll around the sides.

Also after you're more than half dead.
