Hey everyone,
I'm looking to play a list with a pretty standard Dash build:
Dash
Title
HLC
Kanan
EU
PTL
(58)
What would you say is the best use of the remaining 42 points? I've seen a lothal rebel having some sucess and I'm not averse to playing that, but is there anything else that is as good a use of those points? I've also heard Ok things about Corran, would Poe or any of the new T-70 pilots work or do they lack the punch/resiliance needed for the current meta?
Thanks
Basically the Ghost is the only thing that currently fills that slot. Usually a Rebel with autoblaster turret, fire control, hera, and A.N.Other crew, (intel agent, han being the two main options)
I think VI, FCS, R2D2 Corran is your better pick. solid rebel regen piece. and fits perfectly with Dash.
Something I have wanted to try, another YT-2400.
Currently:
Eaden Vrill + HLC + Intelligence Agent + Anti pursuit laser
Future:
Eaden Vrill + Mangler Cannon + Cassain Andor + Smuggling Compartments + Black Market Slicer + Experimental Interface
While the U-Boats will be tough with these, it seems it would be fairly effective against Dengaroo and Palp Aces. Expect Eaden to die blocking, and getting in the way of people going after Dash. Eaden is no slouch against any ship that is stress dependant or ships that stack stress. The cannons on there for jousting or for ships that are not stress dependant.
Miranda is also a good choice, or A-wings
With 42 points to use, how about this:
ARC-170: · Norra Wexley (29)
Push The Limit (3)
· R2-D2 (4)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Tail Gunner (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
All good ideas, thanks for the input. I played a game last night with:
Poe (PS8)
PTL
R2-D2
Sensor cluster
Autothrusters
(42)
It's an extremely tanky build as with Poe changing 1 focus to an evade, spending the focus on a blank for an evade with sensor clusters and autothrusters, plus r2 on the regen.
Ultimately I lost the game which was against a 5 tie/Tie FO list, which was partly because I was feeling my way into the list (but I also felt my opponents green dice were on the hot side while my reds went a bit cold - Poe didnt roll a focus on offence the whole game). Also it didnt help that 2 of my opponents ships were PS8 and 1 was PS7 and he chose to give me initiative with him at 99points to my 100.
I called the game after Dash went down leaving full health Poe up against OL, omega ace and Dark curse (realistically I wanted to eat rather than play a slowly losing battle for another 2 hours), but I definitley feel like the list had something to it. Although in future I'd be tempted to swap PTL for lone wolf as Poe was outside range 2 of Dash more often than I thought he would be. So next time I think I'll pair Dash with the following and see how it goes
Poe (PS8)
Lone Wolf
R2-D2
Sensor cluster
Autothrusters
(41)
Here is my future Dash list once Heroes is out:
Dash Rendar (54) - YT-2400
Lone Wolf (2), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Rey (2), Outrider (5), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Green Squadron Pilot (23) - A-Wing
Juke (2), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Snap Shot (2)
Green Squadron Pilot (23) - A-Wing
Juke (2), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Snap Shot (2)
As much as I would like to use 2x 2400, I simply don't want to spend the money on another YT.
I think this is what I'm going to start from, and see how things go from here:
YT-2400: · Dash Rendar (36)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Proton Rockets (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
· Rey (2)
· Outrider (5)
Counter-Measures (3)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
VCX-100: · Kanan Jarrus (38)
· Jan Ors (2)
· Jyn Erso (2)
Maybe try Poe, he is a solid choice.

BMST isn't good for Vrill, because you want your targets to keep their stress.

If it is going against Palp Aces it is easier to hit Soontir Fel with the Slicer where Palps can't modify the dice. Or Dengar, who has them stacked on.
2 Prototype A-wing's with Refit and a Z-95. Alternatively drop the Z to beef up the A-wings.
Hi! Or try:
39 points

Vrill + Autoblaster + Zeb + Engine Upgrade = 42pts
Slam into aces, block em, and melt em. If they PTL to dodge the arc, it kicks in Vrills ability. Ive melted Inquisitor, OL, Ryad. Fun times

How did you go with Zeb, and having higher PS targets blocked, but still within their arc, so that they can shoot you first?
Just put Vrill where you dont want them to be. Make em make a weird bank or sharp so they get no shots. But basically just bulldoze into them. A large base covers a lot of ground. I didnt care if they shot at me after they get blocked cause they fire naked red dice at you. If I dont have to boost/br then I get a focus/TL. Inquisitor is really easy with his 1 greens to block. Adv Sensors ships hurts, but I will usually hard turn then b-roll them to block out of arc and try and let rest of squad get the damage in.
Flew with APL instead of EU for awhile with 3 chihuahua A-wings (also tried a biggs, Wedge combo), but Eaden can get out of place quickly and he needs to get back fast to block. EU lets him turn that arc. Havent flown with Dash yet, but its on my to-do list as it seems like a nice fit.
Here is link to my batreps on Eaden/Fringer build with APL
