Dengar takes the lead with Talonbane and Seevor flanking. Seevor is the likely low priority target so using him as a block and run interference with their approach vectors. Keep Torkil tucked in behind Dengar and keep his arcs on the primary target at the lead of their formation.

Fitting 4 name pilots worth playing into a single scum list especially a list without Escape Craft isn't easy. Unless you are running All of the name khiraxz pilots ;)

I have only played Seevor once and it did not go well but on reflection it was versus a beefy rebel squad before rebel beef was a thing so I'm willing to give him another go. Most of the time Seevor will be a low priority target in this list. If I was playing against this list id go for Torkil first and then Talonbane. Dengar isn't great after the first exchange due to his poor dial.

Just an observation from the games I've played where he's popped up. Seevor is only low priority if you never let your opponent engage him with your opponent having any sort of range cushion against the rest of your list. If they can do so while not have a strong counter coming at them he jumps several notches on the priority target list, especially if they can see that him being relatively isolated is likely a turn or two ahead. You can use that to bait an opponent into a bad position the following turn, but you need to be thinking well ahead when you do. Token strippers are always high priority opportunity targets.
