As long as rebel beef pushes back against vader/sootir/whisper, dengar is a decent choice.

Is that Dengar really that good for those points? Ive only played him once since 2.0 came out.

He’s finnicky. The dial is rear end so if you screw up the opening he doesn’t trade effectively. If that build dropped four or five points (basically if CC was appropriately coated) it would be fine.

Trick shot is optional tho. I’m not sure there IS a good talent for him today. Swarm tactics to bump someone else for the alpha strike?

2e Dengar is poo poo.

Just for the record. The 2e Jumpmaster is unfixably poo poo unless they fundamentally change how the game handles Limitedness.

If you could keep the crew slot while having the punishing one title it would not be so bad. Also if there was a combo that let you recharge contraband cybernetics that would be aces.


Edit: Just realised Jabba can do that.

It would still be poo poo. Just marginally less so.

They nerfed the Jumpmasters in like, 5 ways, any three of which might have left it fixably poo poo, but all 5 just left it in the absolute doldrums forever unless they change how LImited works so they can make it cheap enough to not suck without making it possible to spam 5 or 6 of them.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this.

It also makes Aethersprite Anakin effectively unblockable. Smart they made it Republic only, because that thing would be bonkers on Wedge.

It's worth noting in that context that because it resets your dial rather than altering the manouevre, it only lets you change to moves on your dial.

Almost none, there are tonnes of chrome paints available.

I don't own any, or I'd be doing it straight out of the box.

And super vulnerable to thumbprints, but actual metal coating seems unliekly to work at best. You'd have to electroplate them (I think?) and I doubt the plastic conducts well enough, plus that's a lot of chemisty.

Got my first set of dice from a trial. Started 3-0 then lost to a Ani+ 3 Torrents+ 1 Arc. loving brutal match that ended with a score of 0-20.

Next one Went 100-129. Last shot gave him half to go in the lead. It was the most brutal tournament I have played in. Glad I could pull off 4-2, but drat one better roll could have changed everything..

I flew the Resistance 5's

I’ve really been struggling with the R5s not to lose on time against Republic in general and rebel beef with Biggs.

I’ve got two weeks before our HST and I’m considering a switch. But what to?

I’m half tempted to go Vader/Soontir, loaded to the gills, with like a fifty point bid. Snag a few points, run, reset, repeat.

Except for the one Vader, Soontir, Duchess list everything I faced was tanky poo poo. Lots of Ani with V-19s/Arcs, Beef and Kylo/QD/Tav (which was my easiest win).

I'm going to stick with the Resistance 5's for the last 1 or 2 trials, but I flew them as well as they could be flown yesterday and every match was a slog. Just have no idea what I would replace it with.. I would hate flying beef or flying ani and 4 generics.

Also, Vader is ridiculous for 70ish points.
