so I have a new love affair with dengar. He's an insanely maneuverable ship with great firepower. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what to run with him, though. I tried Talonbane and that didnt work so great. I was also runing him with gunner but that was really expensive, and I realized that if you use it on his own shots, you can't use his ability. So instead, I've come up with this, made him a bit cheaper so I can afford another big ship

Dengar-Unhinged Astromech, Title, K4 Security Droid, engine upgrade, Push the Limit-56

Boba Fett-Lone Wolf, Recon Specialist-44

I was also thinking about running him with Kath with Engine Upgrade, VI, and 4-LOM, which I think might be better, 2 ships that hit pretty hard and are fairly maneuverable, the nice thing with Kath is that 4LOM kinda lets her hit REALLY hard when she gets a good roll. I can't really think of a better 1-point upgrade for her either.

I'd say Throw Gonk on Dengar. Turn him into a regen ace.

Hmm that could be pretty interesting. I like it. I feel like he wouldn't be doing enough damage though... Ill try out both next time I play. I have a lovely alpha strike list with Gonk Dengar lol.

Dengar as above except with Gonk, so he's 55. Then...

Binayre pirate-Concussion missiles, glitterstim, guidance chips-18

N'dru Suhlak-Lone wolf, Cluster Missiles, Glitterstim, Guidance chips

I was having trouble against a double ghost build, I think a hefty helping of 12 dice in a turn with insane modifications should help with that.

Dengar with Gonk can barrel roll or boost into range 1 of the TLTs of ghost and use his other action to regen. Im gonna have to fly slow to get a shield stack built up haha.

I find it kind of difficult to fit Dengar+Kath/Boba into a list, without compromising on upgrades to an unacceptable level.

Dengar seems a better fit when replacing a Firespray. Your loosing a damage but gaining a PWT. Though I like the missiles on the Firespray more than the Torps on Dengar.

Use Dengar with a Trandoshan Slaver. Not as many dice, but with a Tactician, and other juicy upgrades that those two ships let you take, can make for a good list. I think I calculated with Gonk on the YV-666 and EI on it so you can regen on the same turn.

I agree you guys I abandoned the second big ship idea, it's too hard to fit a really good second ace in there I've decided to try something different

Dengar- PTL, Engine Upgrade, Unhinged Mech, Title, Gonk-55

N'dru-Cluster missiles, Guidance chips, Lone wolf, glitterstim-25

Z-95-Concussion missiles, Glitterstim, guidance chips-18

What do you guys think? I'm thinking of taking glitterstims on Dengar as well, which would bring me to 100 points, but at 98 I have a nice initiative bid for N'dru and Dengar... Inertial dampeners might be decent on him as well, making him extra ridiculously maneuverable.

N'dru's PS is too low for the initiative to matter much. I went toe to toe against him last weekend, and my Poe-Ello duo vaporized him before he got the chance to fire. Even with glitterstim. He was too close to the rest of the list for Lone Wolf to activate, which didn't help in the least. Maybe give him something boring like VI, the ID on Dengar, and then you keep your 2 pts initiative bid and it matters.

I ran Dengar and Bossk a couple of weekends ago and they did ok.

I tried the N'dru, Dengar and Z list and it did ok I always managed to get at least one ordnance off. When I got both it was a crushing victory usually. I feel like the Zs are too squishy though, they always fly in, get off their missiles and then just die the next turn. I have very few problems with running N'dru into my other ships unless they deploy on Dengar's side(the far right) I also found Gonk utterly useless, and Dengar's attacks were hitting like small toddler's punches, which was bad.

Just for the record, the initiative bid actually got me alot of good, it was never for N'dru, it was always for Dengar so he can dance around people.

Anyways I think I'm gonna buy another Jumpmaster or 2, since triple Uboat seems to be really popular. But I thought I'd try 1 extra first and came up with this.

Manaroo-Deadeye, Extra Munitions, Proton Torps, REcon Specialist, R4 agromech, guidance chips-39

Dengar-PTL, Proton Torpedoes, unhinged astromech, Title, K4 Security Droid, Engine Upgrade.-60

Still a nice initiative bid, and 1 extra hull on my Zs(and all on one ship, making it harder to take out) Manaroo is basically gonna get off her torps and then just transfer tokens to Dengar most likely until she dies. Dengar with K4 is pretty much free to use boost+barrel roll every round to re-position like crazy and get range 1s/torps while staying out of arc. But having 2 focus every round if I want on Dengar, plus a free Target lock, plus repositioning with Boost+barrel roll seems pretty strong. And still a nice 99 point bid... Not as good as 98, but you can't have the world. I COULD put plasmas on Dengar instead, which would open me up to crit the hell out of something with Manaroo but Idunno. Let me know what you think!
