Jango or Dengar

Did you get Chewbacca? Dengar wins hands down for the event for me personally.

I prefer Dengar as a whole over Jango. His AoE is a great team heal under Bossk lead. An extra stun is always handy too.

I run the same team as you except a gear XI Cad (I use his ship for stuff) in place of Embo, with Dengar as fifth and it gets all things bounty hunter related done.

I'd take Greedo out of that team and run both Jango and Dengar.

I know Dengar has a decent kit, and he is apparently almost required to get Chewy due to stealth prevention, but overall I don't get the love for him. His dmg output is horrid compared to others. That alone stopped me farming him, otherwise he has his uses for sure.

OTOH I love Jango, has infinite lives, huge dmg and can atk twice, stagger, taunt ignore, and more, and a great lead to boot.

I went with: Bossk, Fett, Jango, Greedo, Sing. Sing is a Traya slayer, but also rocks in other areas, thanks to getting 396% critical damage under the right lead, modded right, and when everything else lines up. I'm just getting her up to speed now and chomping at the bit to really get her feet wet

Greedo is very good......guarantee stun, chain attack that can kill anything, regains full health on counter attack when hit, mass thermal attack and not really that squishy at g12+ with good mods....I'm not saying replace boba or jango with him but he is a critical part of a high damage bh team

His damage output isn't his selling point - although he can do some work there via the assist call on his basic. It's that under a zeta Bossk lead, he becomes a beast healer. His grenades inflict like 5-6 status ailments, so every time you pop it that's a huge chunk of health and protection for the whole team.

Bossk lead is not countered easily by tier 2 and 3 teams lol....look up statistics on the best defensive teams for GA and TW and you'll see bossk led teams right up there as the top squads....efficiency is the name of the game and well geared modded bh teams require a top tier team to beat

Troopers, Finn Resistance(before rework), Ewoks without C3 beat Bossk

Troopers? What team? I use JTR or FO against him. I think they are overkill but not aware of a cheaper team that can do it reliably.

I use Veers, Starck, Range, Storm and DT/Snow depending on what I’m doing in other zones. The key is Starcks effective speed has to be faster than Bossk, use special to give buffs and tm, Veers aoe and then kill off boba. Once you kill Boba, kill Jango or next best attacker. Once those two are gone, game over.

Dengar is boss. I didn't like him at first. Now I rely on him a lot for his thermals.

If I were you I would follow the @VonZant ‘s advice. He is realy a very good player with scoundrels and smugglers faction. (It’s supposed to be a compliment to vonzant. English isn’t my 1 language, soorry if it sounds weird)

Thanks for compliment. Sadly, I'm not right all the time. ;) Just giving my best educated guesses.

People who don't love Dengar usually either don't understand what he adds, or have his modded completely incorrectly. If youre planning a defensive BH team under Bossk, Dengar is pretty much an absolute must. Yes, his personal damage is crap, but his AoE can make or break a battle very early on, and also save your squad multiple times throughout the battle.
Once you have dengar modded correctly, the magic will happen. You want him going after boba and bossk speed-wise, ( at least +80 speed assuming your bossk and boba are better than that ), crit chance of at least 65%, preferably higher, and a potency cross.
The reason for all that CC? You have a total of 7 possible crits on his AoE against 5 enemies, and in 3v3 or late battle its even less, and you always want a minimum of 3 crits. 3 crits will give you tenacity down, stealth for dengar and anti-stealth for the enemy, and 50% TM reduction for the entire enemy squad, plus 5 randomly placed detonators. That is a total of 15 possible debuffs which each recover 5% H/P, meaning one ability will give you 75% health and prot squad wide, as well as possibly stalling the entire enemy team with 50%TM reduction.

Once payouts drop, Dengar will also boost the damage of your other BH when he is stealthed by assisting ( 60% chance when they use a special ability, which happens a lot with boba, embo and jango ), as well as having another 60% chance to call another assist if that enemy is debuffed. Double assist chains happen a lot, and with dispel on embo's basic and double taps on boba and jango, thats a lot more damage ( and possible healing from boba's basic )

Dengar's kit is very complicated, but added to bossk and boba it really makes a BH team get rolling like a runaway train.


Jango is great also, but he really really needs to be g12 with his medpack and furnace for defense use, otherwise he is pretty squishy still. Dengar on the other hand works just fine at g11 or even g10, since he will be under stealth most of the time ( assuming you got his CC up high enough to reliably stealth his first turn )

Link to my main BH squad i use for tw/GA defense and dstb if you're interested. I think its the best 5 BH for general purpose use.

I would take out embo and put dengar and jango in
