Has the (Imperial) Firespray become completely obsolete? I’m a fairly new player and just got my hands on a cheap Firespray expansion. was looking up some potential builds online and noticed that 90% of them appeared to be at least 2-3 years old. Have they now just been outclassed by newer ships? Or do they still pose a threat on the field?

This one looked interesting:

“Fettigator” (47 points): Veteran Instincts (1) + Navigator (3) + Slave I (0) + Engine Upgrade (4).

What builds are decent these days?

It can win many more games and matchups than people assume.

Dont underestimate a simple bounty hunter with Long Range Scanners.

For Boba or Kath I prefer something like this this. Swap out Reb Cap for Recon Spec or Kylo Crew as necessary. Your choice of HLC, Harpoons, Cruise, Mangler, Bomblet, Extra Munitions, Lone Wolf, Predator, Expert Handling, etc

If you take Kylo Crew you can run a "bad" version of RAClo but its just as effective against the same things basically.

Imp Firesprays biggest problem is offensive action efficiency since Imps dont have the ridiculously broken passive mod crew that Scum have, besides Palp which doesnt apply here. Solve that with your EPT and your good to go. This is why Linked Battery not being usable by Imp Boba makes me so sad.

If you're looking for a more recent build this one was featured on the German System Open stream and went 3-0 in the first stage but didn't make stage 3. Looked like a lot of fun.

Cool. Yeah, I’d like to give the Firespray a go. I just so happened to buy the Silencer at th same time. Convenient. Seems like there have also been a lot of Firespray + Whisper combos.

Probably the best combination I've seen is a 'duellist' Kath Scarlet build: A Score To Settle, Agent Kallus and Slave 1/Long Range Scanners. You telegraph your intended target something fierce since A Debt To Pay and Kallus' targets have to be 'tagged' at deployment and you have to get your target lock before the shooting starts, but you essentially go into your first engagement with offensive and defensive focus, a target lock, and an evade token, and your opponent gets a stress token every time they dodge your attacks.

Kath and whisper are good. I got 2nd in a tourney. i feel the game i lost wss winnable but i messed up and just barely hit a rock off of whispers decloak. And i mean barely scrapped it lol. I also could not kill deathfire quick he kept rolling evades and focus.

I'll definitely fly kath again. Her ability is fun
