Quack Shot 2,008 Posted September 18, 2016 3 Dengaroo lists in top16. ouch.Only 3 Dengaroo in the top 16? Wow, less than we expected... I think they said there were only like 5 total for the entire tournament, but 3 made the cut which shows the strength of the list. 2 The Recreator and IG88E reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigulf 60 Posted September 18, 2016 It gets slaughtered by 2 scouts and a party bus, or any other competitive list with lots of HPs. It does beat all the defender lists which is the new shiney thing which I am sure made a large pirtion of overall lists.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does beat all the defender lists which is the new shiney thing which I am sure made a large pirtion of overall lists.. x7 Defenders are super resilient. They can easily shrug off 3-die attacks when positioned well and properly token'd up. They are only easy to mow down if flown poorly, and Scouts aren't *that* difficult to outfly. Party bus can be a challenge because of its in-arc coverage, but x7s can absolutely do it, if flown well. 1 DR4CO reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The palp defender list that won has had a ridiculously high success rate against dengaroo Yep, on the second day Ben (the guy who won with his palp-sicles) was saying he was undefeated against Dengaroo with his list. The defenders have the advantage over other aces vs Dengaroo, because their defence is tipped more towards HP, they have the auto evade + Palp, they can catch Manny, and they can keep the pressure up with with those white K-turns.

jokerkd 342 Posted September 19, 2016 I was unfortunate enough to be part of the 0% in the run up to nats. Ryad and Vessery are nothing short of amazing with x7. 2 DR4CO and SgtSmithy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The palp defender list that won has had a ridiculously high success rate against dengaroo This. Unless the Defender player loses his mind or some truly bizarre dice rolls come out, I don't think there's a way for a "standard" Dengaroo to win this matchup. One 3-dice attack a round is not going to make progress against 3-agility, 6-health ships that always have token stacks. Vess & Ryad have all the time in the world to kill Mana and then Vess can often solo Dengar. What nearly tripped me up in the Top 4, though, was putting the Painbot on Mana. It meant I took much more damage than normal hunting her down, and that in turn meant my opponent was still in it when she died and the second phase of the game began. Vess was so weak I couldn't push for damage as hard as I was used to. But in hindsight I think even that could be worked around by leading more with Ryad in the Manaroo hunt.
