A rebuilt Corran/Dash list that I believe can easily handle all current meta favorites along with Soontir and Vader after the next 2 releases. What would you run to try to counter this?

Spacewalk one?

Naw, but in all seriousness looks fun

I love Corran/Outrider builds. Especially with Engine Upgrade and Advanced Sensors, I would love Corran with PtL even more here. Yeah, you lose the PS battle with Phantoms, but your sidekick is a Focus/re-roll Mango machine with no doughnut hole.

...there's a sentence that's never been uttered before! :P

Yea but Soontir... And soon Vader. Ptl FCS is better in almost all cases, but in the where it is not it will cost you the game. 3-dice Dash cannot reliably hit autothrusters or cloaks.

3 dice with a re-roll and Focus? Then I guess 90% of ships are screwed in the upcoming meta.

That's 1/10 of shots connecting only, but with mango it would be a crit. If you think about it it's logical. It's only if you hit 3 and he rolls all blanks that your crit gets through. The other 2 are taken by Autothrusters and token...

Well but in your case you fire with Corran, strip the token, fire Mangocannon afterwards and your chances are a bit better.

No it will in fact not kill the meta because it really just works vs turrets or if you are at R3. But it is a significant boost to the Interceptors that can arc-dodge and have at least 2 actions (Soontir XD)

If you face this list and you are concerned primarily about Dash you will lose pretty quick. Most people do.

Good to know the math. Thanks.
