Time to run Furry Dash/Chewie

By ishikabe, in X-Wing Squad Lists

EDIT: final build

Furry Dash v1.4

Dash Rendar: VI, Recon Specialist, Mangler Cannon, Hull Upgrade, & Outrider

Chewbacca: Draw Their Fire, Recon Specialist, & Jan Ors

Curious why you chose Mangler over HLC when pairing with Chewy. Chewy can pretty easily protect the donut hole if you get rid of Lone Wolf.

I'm not a big fan of turrets though, and have honestly only ever flown the YT-1300 one time. So my experience can definitely be considered lacking as it only really comes from flying against them.

I'm afraid of a Swarm or a Phantom just riding Dash to death. I've read elsewhere that you lose some damage by not taking HLC, but Mangler is more consistent.

The Phantom isn't going to be such an issue if you're throwing 4 dice at it all the time; I've definitely learned that the hard way. You just have to keep it out of your donut hole, which is where Chewy comes in. Swarms are another story though, as they're the natural counter to these kinds of lists. I don't have a good answer for you on that one, but Lone Wolf will definitely help you stay alive in those situations. The downside is you're just leaving Chewy out there to die if you do that, as he'll be isolated against the full might of the swarm.

You could also toss Draw Their Fire" on Chewy instead of Predator. That'll help spread the damage, which is a big plus.

What do you think of:

Chewy

-Draw Their Fire

-Jan Ors

-Recon Specialist

Dash Rendar

-Veteran Instincts

-Heavy Laser Cannon

-Recon Specialist

-Outrider

Hmm does Chewie negate that crit coming from Draw Their Fire?

Edited by ishikabe

Yup, Chewie's ability triggers on Draw Their Fire.

Awesome!

I like all of that minus HLC. So now I have 3 more points to use. Guess it will go towards a Hull Upgrade on Dash.

Note that Jan Ors can only be used once, so that will be a double focus and a focus/evade each turn.

Do you mean a focus and evade or a focus and focus? Are you saying 3 tokens could be gained?

Both can get double focus from RS, Jan can turn one of them into an evade

Why don't people put Marksmanship on Chewie?

Edited by ishikabe

Why don't people put Marksmanship on Chewie?

Because generally marksmanship is an expensive ept and almost always worse than focus.

A thousand times this.

I see it's basically half of Luke Skywalker and another card. Seems too pricey.
