Dash or Han Solo?

Hehe. Yeah corran isn't easy too take out when he's 49 pts.

People have tried & failed. Will happen sooner or later though.

Sure Corran can be quite tanky, i've played Dash+Corran myself.

It's really a great list especially if you can bait people into chasing Dash or they try to take out Corran early and fail to chase him down.

However, if you can force Corran to do green moves and have a list with enough firepower it's absolutely doable. But yeah, it's one of the reason's i've gone away from the z95 escorts., they're not very helpfull against Dash+Corran (or even Admiral+Whisper for that matter).

Also i have a hard time understanding the reasoning behind the Fat Han lists in the linked picture, VI on Han isn't really that good unless you absolutely 100% want to make sure you're shooting before Whisper. Against any other list i'd rather have Predator (or even lone wolf) and go with a small init bid (1-2 Bandits instead of Tala). The list with the 2x blue i dont understand at all, why would you play Han without engine.

All depends on the matchup but probably a slight edge for Han. But maybe not if these two are head to head, just in general. And dont sleep on chiraneau/whisper together.

Dash beats Han - Han beats whisper - whisper beats dash.

That's absolutely true, but where does the Decimator fit into this?

It's at the top while the rebel scum argue for second best.

Read whisper as whisper + decimator.

Yes from playing it a bit and observing some games and tournament results i also think that Whisper Chiraneau or Whisper Kenkirk are really strong contenders to the top meta spot right now.
