Well this is disgusting. 58 point Super Dash, Naked Chewbacca

By ParaGoomba Slayer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Acting like Rainbow Dash is inherently superior to old school Super Dash is bloody silly. Sure he's going to be a lot more fun to fly with his entire dial open, but as has been mentioned multiple times, he's capped at two actions per turn instead of three, which means that on average he's going to have lower damage output.

I'm sorry. How does Dash get an all-green dial?

I quite enjoy my brown and cream Outrider and I like flying all the pilots. A monocolour dial sounds pretty tight! Is this something only Dash can do or can the other 2400 pilots pull it off?

Who would you run with a dial like that? A-Wings?

I flew various variants of that over a year ago and it was at the time the biggest NPE list out there, tried flying against it several times as well and it was meh - so I stopped using it.

Chewbacca.

When your opponent has finally downed Dash, a fresh Chewie (and the timelimit) says hello.

It is a disgusting combo.

It is not as bad as it was, in part due to the new MoV scoring changes, but it is still annoying to fly against.

It is still a HLC though, the Decimator cries from the shelf/closet. :P

Oh that's hardly a game changer for Dash. I'm not even sure I've ever had a problem with Dash not being able to clear stress in a meaningful way. PTL? Oh please. Judicious Use trumps Spamming. Really if you can't fly Super Dash then what hope do you have when his dial is slightly different, and for a whopping 3 points no less! With a Range restriction!

Oh and good luck keeping Naked Chewie close enough to Dash to make it matter!

Kanan Jarrus is good, no doubt, but is Super Dash the place for him? I hardly think so.

Kanan is a rebel game changer for several lists/ pilots. Several options i'm more scared of than the guy who cant touch you at range 1.

Edit: scratch kanan and make that the ghost in general.

Kavil,k4,dorsal just gave him an aces nightmare. And you still have ept/ mod of preference.....

The thing with Super Dash is that when flown with Corran you have to sacrifice things from either ships' optimal power loadout. So instead of a 42 point Corran why not just Chewbacca?

And what about Leebo crew and Advanced SLAM on Miranda? When you SLAM you can then boost. Should be far enough away that the forced ion maneuver can be easily planned around.

If these kinds of lists are so game ruining and OP, why didn't any of them win at Worlds this year?

If the Phantom was so broken and OP, how come it never won at Worlds?

Why not Chewie? Because without any equipment he is not that hard to kill and does not hit very hard himself.

For example this here is much preferable to Chewie:

Miranda Doni (29)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Extra Munitions (2)

C-3PO (3)

Seismic Charges (2)

Dash Rendar (36)

Push the Limit (3)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Kyle Katarn (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Outrider (5)

Miranda mitigates with C-3PO, does reliable damage with TLT. She also reloads shields, can hit as hard as chewie Range 1 if she gives up a shield, and can SLAM to gain a better position with her PS8 (aka. she dodges arcs like a pro) although she loses her shot.

The Seismic plus Extra ammo is personal preference. You can also choose Conner Net or any other ordnance, torp or missile at 4 points. Or you give her EU which might seem overkill, but is actually not so bad for not losing her shot unlike with SLAM.

Also 42 point Corran is certainly better with Dash. He usually loses EU and FCS, but even then he is probably more resilient and dangerous than Chewie.

All these are also small ships that don't give up half their points at half health unlike Chewie

In reply to the Phantom... I didn't win worlds, but it was 2nd in 2014 and there were a lot of these in top 16. Even in 2015 there were Phantoms in top 8 i believe after their nerf. At least top 16! It also won so many tournaments that they needed to netf it.

While i have never heard of a Dash/Chewie list even winning any larger tournament!
