Thoughts on Dash Rendar and Outrider

By MasterWalkerofSky, in X-Wing

What builds do you guys want to try out with the coolest pilot and ship around?

None.

Because Dash Rendar is one of the worst pilots in the game.

Edit: Also, he's Rebel Scum.

What no love for Dash?

I was thinking about

Han-C3PO(or Marksmanship)+Gunner

Dash-Predator, HLC

Leebo-Determination, Tactician

Eaden Vrill

Nera-2 sets of Flechette torpedoes and a munitions failsafe

Not a whole lot of offensive firepower in either list but per usual focus firing could make it count, and double stressing a ship would be fun

I like the double stressing of a ship please keep list coming.

I'm excited about Dash!

I would like to run a HLC turret Dash and try to squeeze in a few green squadron a-wings with PTL and proton rockets. I might be able to squeeze in Leebo or countermeasures in that list too.

Or:

Dash + Leebo + HLC + Outrider + Countermeasures + Lone Wolf

Awing + CR X 3

100 pts

I like lone wolf alot but is it better for outrider than predator?

It's cheaper and has protective and offensive capabilities compared to the purely offensive nature of predator.

Better is a more subjective term here than it might seem, as Lone Wolf and Predator cater to quite different list and flight strategies. I will certainly try Lone Wolf on the Outrider because of the defensive buff and the turret will make it easier to stay at a distance from allies and still get attacks. Predator can be used this way, but it does not add to defense and is much more conducive to close or formation flying. One issue that will arise with Lone Wolf is it will make focus firing more difficult without very careful flight, but the turret can counteract that.

That's my thoughts the outrider is gonna need a little help on defense.

Yea, I just wish I could fit in three cool ships along with the tricked out outrider without having to use z's or naked a-wings.

I recommend Lone Wolf and Recon Specialist. Dash should have no issue staying at distance to keep his target out of the doughnut hole and his allies out as well. Use barrel roll only when necessary, otherwise always focus, stay at long range, and you'll be quite difficult to destroy. Be most weary of swarms, interceptors, and Phantoms. Swarms will eat you alive if you're not careful, and mobile ships will sneak into the HLC gap with ease.

So what do you guys think about lando as a crew member and put experimental interface mod with Dash

I'm wondering of Dash needs VI to insure he moves last and keeps enemies at distance if running Outrider.
