Of course, that is just a guess, and I await the FAQ. Still, Zuckuss may not have the huge stat boost I was hoping for (though 20 Def rocks), he is still a great, great piece. Woah!! I missed the 20 Def! Nice! That was always the problem with the old Zuckuss. Decent piece, but with only the 15 defense and 40 HP, he just died way too easy. Double the HP and 5 more Defense makes me a little more comfortable about the 13 point difference. Sithborg wrote:I do like the Pawn idea. Pawn and swap with Sidious. Also, don't forget that Nym only gives them Rapport, since Double and Double Claw do not stack/work together. Darn it...always forget that Nym grants Double and not Extra Attack. Pawn/Swap with Sidious is certainly nice though.

My first thought was they get to move after all other activations, but that seems almost as much an advantage as a disadvantage. Nevertheless, Zuckuss can be a fun piece to use. Thanks for the stats, Shinja!!

Because there are two many pieces with Evade/LS Deflect/etc. any more, such that one shot with that kind of damage is often not enough to actually kill anybody. Even with the 50 damage, there's a 50/50 chance the piece will still live. Dengar has to give up his entire turn in order to take that shot, which means he'll get pummeled in return. I'll use the old Dengar, BH over this one I'm afraid. Definitely sad to say that. Dengar is one of my favorites, so I was really hoping for something a little more interesting with this one. Now...Zuckuss on the other hand....holy crap. If he does have BH +4 that will really make the difference. Even without it, he's not bad. Sithbord is definitely right that he'll fit in well in a Quizod squad for the extra +4. I love how Snare Rifle works though. That will have some serious repercussions on people. Crazy that it looks like it works on all sizes of pieces as well. Will definitely be waiting to see the Rules Insert for further clarification on that one. Like, I want to know what happens if you hit two or more targets? Who decides what order they are allowed to move in? Does it mean you can activate them earlier in the round to do their attack(s), and then make their moves at the end of the round? Definitely need some more clarification on it. Either way though, Zuckuss will definitely find his way into plenty of my squads. Intuition AND Anticipation AND Snare Rifle AND Accurate is an incredible combination. And Force Sense and Anticipation for all factions is absolutely awesome. Will definitley be nice for Rebel Kazdan squads. Not that it will make it top tier, necessarily, but it will give the Rebel versions of that squad access to Anticipation, which you could only get through Qui-Gon JM before. The Elite Trando Merc is pretty solid too. Should work well in a swap squad. Perhaps Nym with Mith'rawn? Nice to see a non-Unique Trando who can actually make decent use of his Regen 10 too, lol. You rather have the more expensive and hugely fragile Dengar Bh over Dengar hired Killer oh well

I agree, even without the Bh ability, Zuckuss, BH is a very funny character, like all the Fringe, Uniques of this set, thanks Shinja to this effort to give us all the stats, greettings.

Thanks for the stats, Shinja!! No wording for a new ability. Like I said, that is my best guess. We won't know till the insert/mini-FAQ come out.

CerousMutor wrote:You rather have the more expensive and hugely fragile Dengar Bh over Dengar hired Killer oh well The old Dengar BH is one point cheaper than the new one. IMO, Deadly Attack on the old Dengar can be much better than Final Shot. Both can get Twin through Whorm, or Mobile through Wedge/Rieekan. But the old Dengar BH also has base 30 damage instead of base 20 for the new one. It's sort of a toss up, sure, but I like the fact that the old Dengar can be brought in by Jabba's Reinforcements or Lobot CLO's Reserves. I wasn't saying that I'd always pick the BH over HK version. What I was saying is that there isn't ENOUGH difference between them to make me always pick the newer one, which is what I would have liked to see.

I'd still take RS Dengar over Dengar BH. A little less damage output, but half the cost for close to the same staying power.
