So FFG has made a decision... it's not the right one, but it is what it is.

(The title is obviously a hyperbole. But it could be true)

Jesus christ. Take a deep breath. Go outside.

Wait, I want a stab at being a prophet.

Top 13/16 are rebels. Including, Nym, Miranda, Ghost, Lowhh, Fenn. With possibly Norra and Rey
2 are imperial, (containing quickdraw)
1 is scum.

Sadly, its unclear to me which list will win, but I bet on Rebels.

The 4 Trickshot Scouts that is the Scum list.

Jumpmasters get the hat trick!

My vote is 0 Scum. Scum may be in top 32 though, especially with Timewalk Asajj.

Otherwise you’re spot on.

Edit: this could well be the first worlds that is decided on final salvo. Expect more loopin Chewie at the final table as mirror Miranda’s get in a slap fight.

I would rather hope to see rampaging ionizing Hill-bots for the top 16.

If people know ghost-fenn is what they will be up against, that's probably a good thing, just gives lots of time to practice against the list.

With no FAQ planned, the best we can hope for is an extremely boring Rebel only top 32 and 16.

Only so the community gets even louder and FFG can't write an asinine article about Quickdraw winning a single tournament.

not going to lie, while vcx fenn can go burn the same place green dice burn, I still see Dengar winning this

Right?

We can't be sure. Let's nerf him just for good measure, before he gets up again!

In particular build in mind?

What was "the decision"?

I mean, surely nothing about the Ghost/Fenn interaction or mechanic was actually a question, right? So nothing "FAQ"-worthy, per se.

You're asking about an errata to re-balance something in there, not an answer to a question, right?

Okay, Mr. Nitpicker... In which document do they publish erratas?

gotta take things in full janky glory

Ghost

None of the above.

Something else will win.

They will call it...

The Last Anecdote.

Played the DengarSol today. ****awful dice aside that saw me rolling all of one evade in two games, Sol was kind of uselessly clunky and even Dengar couldn't carry that weight

Guess we can experiment with dengarNym now, which is probably just better in every way. I still think trajectory sim has legs even if you can't auto cheese it with "genius", just gotta plan ahead a bit.

if we need a 'budget dengar" we can try Wired Maul and contraband cybernetics or stims

I don’t see how JC respirating & enjoying the outdoors will change anything.

My money is on StarVipers!!!!

Dengar Nym was pretty solid before the Genius and Jump nerfs. I personally thought it punted to Imperial Aces because Quickdraw v Dengar is usually goes Quickdraw’s way even if they end up killing each other.

However the current iteration of Palp Aces is taking Inquisitor and putting Quickdraw at PS9 and I think Dengar Nym has some game against that.

The nerfs haven’t hurt Dengar that much. Losing easy K4 is rough and he no longer has alpha from missiles but he does solid damage so finding a way to keep him on the table would be strong - for example Lats on Dengar and all the Thermals on Nym (not great but an example). Nym might have gotten worse until they added Tragedy Stimulator so he is still pretty much the handful he always was.

I don’t know if it can handle the Rebel super squads but I’m all in on the hilarity of Dengar winning worlds again.

We'll have to see

Don't think you can beat vcx Fenn because that list is just stupid, but a stimmed dengar should still bulldoze a quickdraw, right? Same dice but dengar has more health and mods for one round and then the same mods the following rounds

Rebel formation superiority I'm hoping you can screws over with bombs to some degree. Really wish protons were cheaper

So....GUNBOAT?

Baaa

No decimator + ace on the top 16 ?

You mean palp CheriRen and QD?

Surprised that isn't making rounds, actually. Guess higher lists do better when Cheri is capped at a "measly" 10
