Is this guy even worth it? I keep trying to put him on a list but haven’t found a good one yet. I thought about throwing him on Asajj but there really isn’t a point if you have access to hate for 3 points
Scum Maul
I haven't found a place for him.
IMO he would work best on 4-LOM so that stress could be dumped off and then you have the added force point on there to use, and that is all really only if you want to add Maul to your list.
I like Maul on Boba, especially now that Han Gunner is costed more appropriately. 11 pts for a free Force token + ability to take stress to regen Force when you take damage vs. 18 pts for a red Focus action when you engage.
Maul on Sabine (Lancer) might be worthwhile with the decrease in cost of both. The added Focus result for evasion + the Lancer's plentiful blues + Maul regenerating Force to guarantee an Evade on those Focus results could make her quite tanky. I haven't run it myself yet but I'm keeping my eye out for a list to fit it in.
Edited by Enigamifirespray doesnt like stress. han gunner was a beast because it was cheap and you got free rerolls with boba and could token stack with Ig-88/0-0-0 and or debris gambit. and it was cost effective! i think maul is still looking for a home. still feels a lil over costed to me.

I'd agree with this.
Sabine/Maul seems kinda tanky, possibly the best way to run a lancer.
I have a theory that Ketsu with Fearless, Maul, and the title at 90 points could also be fun. You can bump into a small-base ship, toss it off with your pilot ability, then Fearless/Maul should hit pretty hard. Even better if you don't bump.
Boba/Maul is something I tried once and liked pre-adjustment, and I think it's probably also a good choice. I'd run Debris Gambit, Maul, Slave 1. Lots of mobility, with the option to do a decent tank-up with the Evade token if near a rock.
Just came home from playing Maul on Boba, first impression is that i like it better the Han in general since 1 force usually cover it and you dont get stressed.
Sabine is my next ”Mauler” as the posters above , just need to find her good friends.

I've been looking at building a lancer list since the points adjustment was released.
Sabine with Maul Crew and Lone Wold looks good might add Contraband Cybernetics but I don't think it would be needed.
Now to find her a good wingman and some table time.
