try to get dash in the current meta

By TharG0RE, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Great description ... and interesting described strategy/tactic. Its not enough to just wriyte a squad ... its the deeper discusions and exchanges which brings learning to our lists. I did fly the miranda doni with super dash list tonight with c3po and 2 seismic charges. My opponent flew a generic awing farlander with mangler, sj ... horton with tlt shield upgrade r2d2 and an a wing generic ... it ws great fun, eventhough i didnt knoe what todo with the vharges, ghesheer firepower of dash and doni made it ... farlander lived 2 fighting rounds ... miranda took some hits regenef all in all 3 shields ... joton went second followed by hhe a ... playing time 70 minutes ... 100/29 ... greatbfun. But still... understanding that the charges ar great especially gainst a swarm .. but how exactly to use it? Anyone experiences here. I feel with this build you wanna draw attention with doni without loosing her. Always ready to slam away i ggd hope gge opponeng can't come after you fast ebough and dash happy flying behind eliminating the wordt damage dealers one after another ... but how using these charges? How can **** do magic?

Any new experiences. The last tournaments I never saw a dash on top ... main builds were 4 ties with coorelais and juke / doni poe stresshog / dualaggre ... what about you?

I am considering a Dash with Sabine in the Attack Shuttle:

Dash (HLC, Title, Ptl, EU, Kannan, and Prockets)

Sabine (TLT, Juke, Stealth, and Chewie)

Switching out Kyle for Kannan means that Dash has a wide open dial to shed his stress! Sure he doesn't get the free focus....but is much less predictable. And I found that often taking a 3 turn or such got me where I needed to be anyways, so I took TL and Focus as his actions...or a Boost/BR and then focused myself.

Sabine is going to be a pure monster I think if played well. With Chewie she is a 3 shield 3 hull ship. And she has built in pseudo Adv Sensors with her pilot ability. And taking the Evade each round with stealth makes her so hard to kill. And the Evade also turns her TLT to 11 by dropping one of the opponents evade symbols to a focus one...for both shots!

apart from Aces (which I believe Dash can defeat simply by abusing the crap out of his ability; soontir don't like rocks), I'd have to say Dash's single greatest fear is the Stress Y

Stress Y just wrecks his face, removing his modifiers and his maneuverability; leaving him a sitting duck

blame Heaver for making it so popular :(

The only thing is that the Stresshog is stuck with a locked down arc... And while not a simple task, shouldn't be too hard for good old Dash to stay either out of range or out of Arc with his full dial and Boost/BR available to him.

You just got to make the Hog priority number one to shoot down, and get in its range 1 TLT donut hole as needed to avoid the stress.
