Super Dash with Mangler and Ten

By Wretch, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have been toying with the idea of unavoidable damage rebel builds. I have several versions of B wings with Autoblaster and AC. While working through those ideas I rediscovered Ten. Is this build viable or is Ten just too many points (45) in such an easily focused down ship like the B wing? I could drop C-3PO on Ten and upgrade Dash to a HLC, but I wanted to add a bit of endurance to Ten and C-3PO seemed to be the best way. I also am looking at FCS over AS on Ten and changing his EPT to VI to deal with high PS arc dodgers like Soontir Fel.

Personally, I like the Ten Numb, "Mangler", Accuracy Corrector, VI loadout. It's guaranteed that you'll land a critical hit every time as a PS10. Unfortunately, I've been working on ways to keep such an expensive ship alive, without much success. I'd say run with what you've got, and see if the bigger Dash can draw the fire.

I looked at AC but once you change the result with AC you can't modify those results with Mangler.

There is no reason to ever give Ten an Accuracy Corrector. Using it gaurantees that his ability won't ever trigger.

I'd probably go VI, Mangler, Advanced Sensors on him. That should give him the best chance of hunting down the ships that are most vulnerable to him.

The B-wing is just not durable enough to be viable in a 2 ship build. Especially now with TLT's floating around everywhere.

Those 8 hitpoints can go way too quickly.

What if you put Jan on dash instead of Kyle? With 3-PO, that gives you 2 evades/round.then, when Ten is gone, Dash can have Jan's evades.
