A different partner for Dash

By RsRabin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, my local meta is absolutely full of soontir fel. One of the more recent tournaments I attended I used a decivader with gunner and was able to take first, easily wiping out basically 37 points including the init bid you pay for with fel. I don't want to keep using a deci however, and wanted to play rebels.

So with Fel in mind, knowing that unblockable damage is your best friend to kill him, especially when he's with palp, I decided to try Ten Numb.

So here's the list.

Dash

PTL

Hlc

Kyle

Outrider

Engine

Ten numb

VI

Mangler

Adv sensors

E2

Jan Ors

I have yet to try it, but the thought is a ps10 b-wing with Adv sensors should be able to keep fel in arc for the 2 or 3 turns to kill him, and Jan can help either Ten or Dash depending on who they target, especially since you can't really hope for fel to not be able to block the extra 2 dice ten throws, he can be totally defensive with his actions. Thoughts?

I've seen Miranda in a K-Wing with TLT run effectively with Dash

Jake can easily beat Fel if flown with any decency. Especially if he has Prockets.

Hi guys, i wanna try Poe as wingman of Dash. Here my list:

Dash (58): PTL, HLC, Outrider, Kyle Kartan, Engine Upgrade.

Poe (41): PTL, R5-P9, Shield Upgrade

Total: 99

So the idea is to use Poe as flank and give him some regeneration capabilities. He always take focus then he can use it at the of combat for regenerate one shield (R5-P9). PTL is here to take focus and boost at same time, but it can be swap for Predator.

Instead of Corran Horn I think there pros and cons:

Pros:

One more hull and one more shield.

Shield regeneration much easier to make.

Cons:

No barrel roll.

No double attack.

One less green dice.

So what do you think?

My issue with your poe here is that you have no one over ps8, which I feel with all the ps9 imp ace lists you'll have a bit of an issue. But it could work... I have an issue ever taking someone with boost and not taking autothrusters, myself.

I really like Ten Numb as a Fel counter if your meta is completely full of it, though even with Jan I think you could run into trouble with the pretty easy to kill and extremely expensive B-Wing against other lists.

Yeah, I am worried about how quick a b can die.

RsRabin i can swap PTL for VI + Autothrusters. But Poe will loose 2 actions in a row and also a shield.

Poe + VI + Autothrsuters + R5-P9 = 37

5 points left...what to do with them? :D

Yeah, it's kinda tough. Your way might work just fine, you should test it that way first. But if you find you're having difficulty vs ps9 or vs turrets those would be my 2 changes.

With Poe I'd recommend either VI+R5-P9 or PTL+BB-8. Also, from my objective testing of T-70vs.E-wing, I've discovered one more glaring flaw to the T-70 over the E-wing and that's the green bank maneuver when they get stressed (mainly from PTL). It turns out that when you need to green to clear stress, or activate a droid, that 2-speed makes a world of difference over the 1-speed. Another dials difference that matters is 5-speed straight.

Every time I've tested a similar setup of these two the E-wing lasts longer thanks to getting out of trouble a little quicker. The Talon Roll is good for staying on target, but against a turret, or after a poorly executed move in front of a swarm, I prefer to spend 5 more points on Corran.

I want to try Super Dash with:

2x Awing GreenSquad Pilot+PTL+Wired+Awing Test Pilot+Chardaan Refit.

I've had some success with Dash + Ten. What worked best for me was having both equipped with Mangler cannons and using a Recon specialist with Dash instead of Kyle, and Predator on Ten. I suppose with PtL you could focus/TL instead of needing Predator but I find stress management difficult on Bs with PtL, so I prefer to go for the reliable reroll which happens regardless of stress. All you need is a single hit, then stacked with a mangler your crit chips straight through.

Atm I have 4 different partners for my 58 Dash. In the near future I will possibly add Poe, but I'm not sure If he could cover the R1 from Dash effectively.

1) Corran Horn + VI, R2D2 and FCS [42]

2) Miranda Doni + TLT, EU, C3-PO [42]

3) Jan Ors + VI, Chewbacca, EU, Moldy Crow, Blaster Turret [41]

4) Horton Salm + VI, R2-D6, TLT, EU, Extra Munitions, Bombs Loadout, Ion Bombs/Seismic Charges* [41]

*I'm not sure which bomb will be the best choice on him. I have one more point for Proximity Mines, but I want to leave this point for initiative bid.
