A friend to fly with Dash

By MasterWalkerofSky, in X-Wing

Hey fellow pilots I was looking for advice on what ship and pilot to run with Dash. Here is my load out for Dash.

Dash Rendar 36pts

Outrider 5pts

HLC 7pts

Kyle Katarn 3pts

EU 4pts

Push the limit 3pts

----------

58pts

Any advice for the other 42pts .I have all of the ships up to and including wave 5 so thanks for your time and advice.

2 x Rookie Pilot

or

Corran Horn + R2-D2 + Push the Limit

or

Bandit

Bandit

Airen Cracken

Another option is A-wings:

Jake Farrell (26)
A-Wing (24), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Push the Limit (3), Veteran Instincts (1)
Prototype Pilot (15)
A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2)
41 points, gives you a hypermobile PS9 flanker and an agile PS1 blocker. The 2-dice attacks might be a bit of an issue, but with a 4-dice turret how much firepower do you really need from the support ships?

Corran ptl

Eu or r2d2

Two ship builds are risky 15 hull points really isn't that hard to eat through and you can't bank on having the only turret on the board.

I know I'm just going to look like "that guy" but I really want to fly the Falcon and Outrider together. (perhaps not with the HLC)

I like the idea of the A-wings. Even two Rookie X-wings makes it feel like a solid list with a lot of meat to it. I'm a fan of Corran Horn with VI and FCS but running two ships feels risky i'm sure.

yes i've flown Corran with VI and FCS with Dash and it does solid but I'm just looking for other options. Thanks for your post keep the ideas coming.

Without HLC yt-2400 only has two attack, that's five total attack hardly a terrifying prospect.

Depends on the two ships. Dash can hop all over the place through rocks and Corran with ptl and R2-D2 is really tough to kill. The popularity of Han/Corran is not a coincidence.

I think it works good but you have to use the movement of the e wing and outrider to its fullest effect so they can survive

Corran

+vi

+r2d2

+fcs

Pssst. He's better than Dash

So, I'm running Jake and the Prototype in the TC Open with my Dash. I've been having a lot of fun with the As.

Another compatriot I've been considering is this:

Leebo + HLC + Determination

PS 5. 4 attack in main arc at range 2-3. And a hilarious ability when it triggers. When you take a crit, draw two. If one is a pilot, discard them both. :lol:

Dionne Warwick

Sable that leebo build sounds fun.

Chewbacca.

When your opponent has finally downed Dash, a fresh Chewie (and the timelimit) says hello.

It is a disgusting combo.

I'm not religious but if i were i'd tell you about the warm place your heading to.

Corran

+1. I've liked this so far. He fits the bill for being survivable yet packs a punch.

Bandit

Bandit

Airen Cracken

I like that idea, especially because Airen can let Dash boost / barrel roll during the combat phase to get out of range 1.

However, 2x Bandit + Airen = 43 points, putting you at 101.

So I have been kicking around 2x Prototypes + 1x Bandit, 42 points. Unless you are shooting at agility 4 Phantoms, its a better value than 2 X-wings at 42 points.

Another idea is Keyan.

Keyan + Advanced Sensors + PtL + Engine Upgrade (39) 3 points remaining = Ion Cannon?

Or you could drop E.U. and swap in HLC, but I would expect Keyan to drop fast.

Jake with Rockets and a prototype ride along.

When I read the initial title, I had a completely different image pop in mind. It was something more along this line:

"Lovable rogue looking for a 42 point friend. I like to push my limits while flying a large ship with big engines and guns. I also like to hang around Jedi and long walks on the beach. If you're interested in becoming my buddy / wingman, then send a message!" :D

(If there's one part of my past that I don't mind leaving behind, it was online dating, lol! Please forgive me, I'm just being wacky :P )

Corran

+vi

+r2d2

+fcs

Pssst. He's better than Dash

Yea I've found that corran build to perform well

How about

Keyan Farlander - 29

Push the Limit - 3

Advanced Sensors - 3

Lando Crew - 3

Bwing/E2 - 1

Flechette Torp - 2

Brings your list to 99pts

I'm going to try that for sure and see what happens.

How about

Keyan Farlander - 29

Push the Limit - 3

Advanced Sensors - 3

Lando Crew - 3

Bwing/E2 - 1

Flechette Torp - 2

Brings your list to 99pts

Or a Farlander build that I like for the same number of points is

Keyan Farlander - 29

Stay on Target - 2

Advanced Sensors - 3

Heavy Laser Cannon - 7

With Stay on Target, he can choose a 2-speed maneuver and change it to any other one each turn since all 2-speed maneuvers are available including a K-turn. He can barrel roll or target lock before the move, then use the stress from SoT to modify his 4-dice attack. Should be as slippery and damaging as a phantom.
