Trying something different than what I usually run

By Krynn007, in X-Wing Squad Lists

One thing I never use is pwt like Han or dash.

I've used them in the past but probably haven't used since dash has been released

Anyway was playing around on the squad builderand was trying to come up with something new

I know the regular dash buid is solid but I'm just trying to break away from the norm.

Though it's probably still similar.

Was thinking this

Dash

Ptl

Outrider

Hlc

Kyle

Gold squadron

Twin laser turret

Btl

R3a2

Gold squadron

Autoblaster

No engine on dash so guess that's the only difference

Of coarse dash the big target but stressbot does his thing

Slows down enemy aces, while dash tries to kite them

Try keep autoblaster y as close to dash as possible.

That way if an ace gets by the stressbot the autoblaster can cover dash blindspot

Plus hard to ignore stressbot. So if opponent guns down the stressbot, hopefully dash can do enough dmg plus by time stressbot is dead should hopefully left his mark leaving dash and a autoblaster y to do their thing.

Once stressbot is dead the other y will likely be ignored, so again Hopefully did enough dmg

Thoughts?

if you want to keep a y super close to dash, you should really consider dropping dash, ptl and change to leebo determination. Dash is dash because he flies through stuff other people cant fly through (e.g. he is more manuverable than a freaking y wing). Then you free up points for other things.

Ya did consider leebo actually but was thinking dash ability still could come in handy as he can fly over obstacles and maybe use that to hinder my opponent

OK how about this

Leebo

Determination

Outrider

Hlc

Hull upgrade

Chewbacca

This basically gives leebo 13 hp if you count Chewbacca.

Still able to keep the two ywings as are

Could put Recon specialist on leebo but that leaves me with 1 pt which in this Case don't really need the initiative bid.

HLC for mangler, drop hull, TLT on gold w/ autoblaster and I would call it ready for playtest.
