best loadouts on the firespray?

By Greedo_Sharpshooter, in X-Wing

looking at some options for scum.

is marauder + tail gunner actually worth it in Boba? seems quite situational lining up the rear shot is all. thoughts?

i tried Boba the other day, and a friend tried Kath, Marauder was ok, tail gunner was never used in either game

My Firespray efforts have gone solely into Boba. The builds I have found success with have a base of Marauder title and Han Gunner. I started with Perceptive Co-pilot in the crew slot and liked it a lot. I’ve recently been trying 0-0-0 instead of the co-pilot for reduced points and a chance for stress control. Gone well so far.

It can be devastating especially at range 1 but it is hard to set up. I like marauder and 0-0-0 and bt-1 on koska. I want to try the slave 1 title. Eamon and his title works well obviously.

double focus from perceptive copilot seems like a good deal. that stress from han gunner might create some problems getting out of enemy arcs after engagement, even with a medium base.

The double focus feels really good. Even works when bummed with Han. The Han stress can be a factor, but thus far, I still think it is worth it. It’s a risk to use Han, but I do think that’s how it should be. After the initial joust is dangerous, but you do still have two focus.

Marauder, gunner Han always

Optional 0-0-0 or l337 crew

Emon too pricey to bother with, methinks. My plan was composure with cad babe, bit apparently failed a red action still gives you stress so that's out the window

Other spray titles need to be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, especially Anda-whatever which does absolutely nothing without further investment

Saw a two spray + cloak quad loadout do well today. Gunner Han, l337 boba and 0-0-0 Frost I believe

Marauder + Han gunner is so good. I think that’s my starting baseline.

so im thinking something like...

Boba/marauder/Han (87)

Palob/moldy crow/Lando (58)

145pts, 55pts to spend on a 3rd ship

talonbane or a cheap starviper perhaps?

A Skull Squadron Pilot with Fearless would be 52.

If you replace Lando with something cheaper on Palob, you can upgrade the Fang to Old Teroch.

I have played it like this and worked like a charm.

I concur.
Played this list 2 times and it is nasty.

Yep! Keep wanting to make Fearless 2 points.

I also like IG-88D crew on Boba. Together with Han gunner having 3 tokens makes him quite durable.

I’m really liking nothing. Then bring three of them.

198 for three bounty hunters, 30 hp behind two green dice and a reinforce if you need it.

That's what I've been doing. I like the double calculate that does not require my opponent's consent, unlike 0-0-0. I've been mixing with either Lone Wolf or Debris Gambit. Together with a Sheathipede Escape Craft, you get two calc, a focus, and either a reinforce or evade depending on your needs.
