Corran is dead! Long live... ...? - the new Superdash escort

By Sarcon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

In the current meta I find that Corran no longer works as an escort to Dash. After a few tries I came up with this list that seemed to work in the first 2 games I played with it:

AA+ Dash (98)

Green Squadron Pilot (20) - A-Wing

Adaptability (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Crack Shot (1)

Green Squadron Pilot (20) - A-Wing

Adaptability (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Crack Shot (1)

Dash Rendar (58) - YT-2400

Push The Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kanan Jarrus (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

So my question is, what are your thoughts, and what do you fly next to Superdash?

Regen Poe can fit at 38 even has space for you to give him predator if you want.

No Procket Jake and a Z friend

But IMO a accuracy corrector autoblaster anti pursuit laser lothal is exactly 42 points. Which could be alot of fun.

Firstly, the list you've written is really solid. So good work.

I've been putting Dash with a VCX-100 with this setup -

Lothal Rebel

FCS

Hera Syndulla

Ezra Bridger

41

They're a fun combo. You get high red dice output and a mountain of shield and hull to chew through. There's nothing really fancy going on here tbh just solid abilities that gel well.

As a side note - I've been running those GSP's with Han and it's really fun:

Han

PTL

Kanan Jarrus

Ezra Bridger

Engine

Flying a proto Awing blocker and Stresshog.

It has provided me with moderate success. I think it builds on things that Dash is already really good at. It doesnt work against imperial aces, which is bad.

I agree. With the dawn of TLT that Jedi is obsolete. I like your build better.

I have been running a variant of the older super dash for a while, and it does well and I like it.

Dash: Outrider, HLC, Kyle Katarn, Engine upgrade, PTL

Green Squadron Pilot: Wired, Chardaan Refit, Autothrusters, A-wing Test Pilot, Rage

Green Squadron Pilot: Wired, Chardaan Refit, Autothrusters, A-wing Test Pilot, Rage

I just like this. The Rage/Wired combo works well for me. Nothing against Crackshot, I just feel like it works best in swarms of any type, not two ships.

Miranda works great with Dash as well.

I don't normally like flying large ships, but the Outrider is definitely my favourite...I am liking the A-Wing combinations that I am seeing with Dash, lot's of speed! I will have a go at making my own version.

Currently I'm running my SuperDash with Kanan crew, and it really REALLY opens up the already amazing dial. As support I'm running Lothal Rebel with FCS, Hera, Han, and ABT. The Rebel being able to do consecutive 5K-Turns is amazing when combined with FCS giving me the ability to mod my attack dice with Han or re-rolls.

Those 2 VCX builds mentioned by Torches and Buck are really nice! I'll give them a shot definetly.

As for the stresshog - it dies too fast and it's easy to dodge for your opponents if you have a decent player across the table. The A wings are a lot tougher to kill.

With the A wings I really like the versatility the dual upgrade Adaptability gives. You can either chose to move at PS4 and shoot before a stresshog, or move at PS2 and block jumpmasters. I even went as far in games where I used Dash as a blocker, and used the 2 A-wings to kill a shieldless Poe.

Any thoughts on Heragator the Ace Hunter as Dash's support?

Hera Shuttle + ABT + Navigator + VI = 28pts

Bandit = 12pts

2pt initiative

Hera is PS9 and go anywhere she wants after aces move. Thought she may be good support for Dash as his weakness is aces. And bandit for blocker obviously.

Have flown Hera in VCX with Nav + EU + ABT + AC and she is badass. But PS8/9 aces will never be in R1 of her. With shuttle, she has the upper hand now.
