Non-issue. Because if you have Han gunner, you do not have Slave 1, you have Marauder.

Doh, ofc. Just the Maul build then....
Eh, it's still not a massive deal, you don't need to Maul stress yourself often

He was talking about the red focus from Han gunner.
It was actually kind of a throwaway note, rather than anything worth making a point on.
The main point is that Slave 1 teams well with hard turns and Proxies. Any build that can make use of all its things, all the time is obviously good. Any build where one thing shuts off another means less options.
The upshot being that Prox and Slave 1 is good stuff. Maul/Han and Marauder is the other good stuff. They aren't mutually exclusive but do lean in different ways, so for efficiency and maxing your turn by turn options, you might want to go all in on one or the other
In the last weeks I played a few games. BoFrost is still fantastic - I won it all and have also a lot of fun. Also my opponents had fun and its the best achivement both players can get.
A well known player from Germany - Timo Raabe - played BoFrost at the nationals in the Netherlands and reach also Top 16 Cut. So it is approved the best Firespray List you can get.

I can't agree with this statement more
Also, I gave the final version of the list another go and it performed admirably, a real solid list.
After the new point update BoFrost remains playable in hyperspace.
But the crack shots fall out. So you have to give 4 points in total.
Because also the Slave1 title and cybernetics has become cheaper, I would take this with me. This leaves one point bid. Of course you could do without cybernetics and take three points bid. In hyperspace this is also a good choice at the moment, because many I6 pilots fall out. I like the cybernetics a little more because it makes Boba even more flexible.
My friend Timo rocks the Milton Keys SOS with it and perfomed very good. You could see it today.

I think was is in the Final
I love double sprays, taking my own with me. I'd normally be pleased to see this do as well as it did, but current HS is pretty vulnerable to it, I think
To take nothing away from Timo, to do as well he's done with anything requires extraordinary play. HS is incredibly swingy and difficult to be consistent in. But hopefully, this success doesn't see them become so popular that I have to hipster on something else instead....
We were pretty much there already this wknd, lol.
2 Sprays are just the best tools for this job imo, (still in various combos :P). Not oppressive, just very, very good. But one of my mates was sick of the sight of them 😂
Congrats to Timo and top work on the architecture Dalli 👍
I came here to say the same thing, Timo's list looks a lot like Dalli's handiwork. These Firesprays definitely have the mods to make up for only two attacks per turn.
Thanks to Firestorm Squadron Firecast we can watch some matches on YouTube.
Timos games start at the time marker 4:34:20.
Edited by DalliI dunno what is Hyperspace legal because I don't like that garbage format, but I do like this list. I like it more if you drop both proton bombs for fearless and seismic on Boba and trick shot on Frost.
Also BoFrost is a terrible name for the list and it's definitely Frosted Fett instead.
😆

Drop both proton bombs is a great mistake. Directly after the fact that trick shot is not Hyperspace legal. And on top of this is the rarly situation that your spray is in front of an fighter that is in front of yours. Your decisions don't seem very well thought out.
The name BoFrost is a joke. Because there is a company in Germany that delivers frozen food and has the same name.

Fearless triggers all the time for Boba. Seismics threaten a much larger area than protons and trick shot is very very good in combo with the debris cloud (so is the seismic). I already said I don't care about hyperspace, which is why I like the trick shot on Frost. No need to get all defensive either, chill out.
I've found Fearless is a bit of a luxury on Boba, depends how you fly him though. I'd keep the Protons, swarms and shieldless ships aren't as scared of Seismics. In my opinion Maul, Hull, Slave 1 and protons are the core and I don't think i'd trim below that on him unless i'm running him with just the title, which is viable but a different thing altogether. I'd have gone for Trick Shot maybe if it was still 1 but I don't like it at 4.

For hyperspace only I could see the argument for keeping protons, but I would downgrade the protons on Frost to seismics and keep Fearless on Boba.

Protons, when flown well, are amazing. Timo (UK SOS Champ) did this cluctch move where he drops Protons from both ships close together in the same round AND then has Frost drop her Rigged Cargo. He caught a few people really badly with that. Was a thing of beauty to watch happen.
@Dalli in potsdamm you wrecked my swarm with the protons from BoFrost. The list is a tough nut to crack. Pass on the congratulations to Timo for his tremendous win and great flying of your fabulous creation through its constant evolution through points and hyperspace adjustments. Looking forward to seeing you and or Timo at the SOS Hanover. Asmodeon.

Exactly. Such an Chutebomb is often the gamechanger. Because it is a good tactic agains aces. The experience shows that is much better than a seismic - wich its also a good choice - because a crit is much better than a hit. And you dont come in situations you hit yourself with the seismic. Fearless and trick shot are upgrades who are to expensive and the trigger is too rare. So the best way is to use cracks or nothing. And trust me, I tested it and more importend I counted it. ;)
Fun fact: at the same weekend Timo wins the SOS another german player (and Podcaster) "Scumdan" wins a Store (32). With my own tournaments wins an cuts I can see a small connection to having made the right decisions in list building. 🤗
No debris gambit on Boba tho?
26 minutes ago, Blail Blerg said:No debris gambit on Boba tho?
Well no, there are numerous reasons not to.
I also tried this pilots and I agree with @Dalli's findings with talent choices. Fearless is not bad on Boba, but it is 3x times as expensive as Crack, Boba with his double mods on attack gets full hits alot already so then it does not help, crack does and if you get more than 3 uses out of Fearless in a game, then that is the exception, especially as Boba have a rear arc so use it. So in Extended, in the BoFrost list and how you fly with it, Crack gives more value for points.
P.S. There is something that can be said for Boba with Fearless/Slave/Maul, as you can go for bumps on purpose to really slow roll and take 1 of the enemy out of the fight for a turn and put your attention on the ones left, but different type of fly style for Boba and this synergy is better with other wingman than Koshka (ie saw it on a lot oFenn/Boba this weekend, seeing you have points to play, this makes more sense, as not as if you drop anything for it and Fenn is better in chasing game while Boba does the knife fighting in that list)

They have to be chasing in right? (Though I can see where even you don't want to be there, you might be there just cuz of how stuff goes)

He doesn't need it. Played Timo with BoFrost twice the week before the SOS. Boba is, as strange as it sounds, an arcdoger and the times he gets caught a focus and Mauls force is enough to weather most or all of the incoming fire.
