Dash and Z's

By BCooper85, in X-Wing

Evening,

I've got a tournament in 2 weeks time and I was originally going to fly Corran and Z's but now I have my YT-2400 I'm thinking of changing it up.

Dash Rendar (36)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12), Ion Pulse Missiles (3) x 2

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12) x 2

I've got 10 points left for upgrades on Dash, thoughts?

Lose a Bandit and go for the 58 point triple action build:

Dash Rendar

++Push the Limit

++Heavy Laser Cannon

++Outrider

++Kyle Katarn

++Engine Upgrade

Spend your actions to keep enemies out of the doughnut hole, and a free focus every turn.

Nah, four bandits gets you Outrider Dash w/o Engine Upgrade and Nien Nub instead of Kyle.

At least, that's how I'll be running him. Don't need excessive mobility when you have asteroids and fodder clogging up the board.

But you'll inevitably have Phantoms chasing you, so you need the mobility to open some distance for them to cover or VI to outbid them.

Yeah the Nien Nunb + 4 Bandits is how im planning on playing him too.

Might be a case for alternate fodder, or even something more substantial like a pair of B-Wings, but for now its 4 naked Z's.

Phantoms or no, dont understimate what a simple Barrel Roll will do to get you out of range, especially if youre coming off a 4 Forward to clear some stress etc. Those big bases can shift.

Exactly this

The displacement from maneuvers and b-rolls are insane

Also, Whisper is pretty predictable when it comes to de-cloak. Four bandits +asteroids are more than enough to account for her. The natural tankiness of 4 green dice + focus (+possible evade) will be hard to punch through, but inevitably all green dice must fail ;)

I am actually considering a slight tweak myself. Im still using 'Budget' Dash, but a little more to my support squad.

Dash - HLC, Outrider, PTL, Nien Nunb

Green Squad - Chardaan, Veteran Instincts

Green Squad - Chardaan, Veteran Instincts

Bandit Squadron

Again dead on 100 points

Difference being that, although less bodies those extra green Dice, and speed may come in a little more handy than 'total HP' plus at PS 5 i get to shoot before the vast majority of non named ships, even if it is only 2 shots.
