Dash + Miranda

By Flyingbrick, in X-Wing Squad Lists

OK follows is a list i have really enjoyed flying but do wonder how everyone would think how it rates with the current meta. Your input is as always appreciated.

Dash + Ptl + HLC + Title + Engine upgrade + Kyle Katarn

Miranda + Tlt + Extra munitions + Ion bombs + Seismic charges.

I used to play a similar list. On Dash, I thing is better Mangler Cannon. When you play against imperial aces or lists with Inquisitor, Dash suffers a lot with HLC at range 1. In the other side, I prefer Miranda with Chewbacca. Her regeneration capacity combined with Chewy makes it very difficult to take out. And finally, I like to use the Slam combined with cluster mines and Advanced Slam, it's only one hit but well played could be de winner hit.

So

Dash + Mangler Cannon + Ptl + Title + Engine Upgrade + Kyle Katarn

Mirando + Tlt + Chewbacca + Cluster Mines + Advanced SLAM

i have never considered using Chewie with Miranda, will have to do this. Also, i have to agree that the Mangler cannon would likely be a better choice in the current meta. Thanks greatly for this.

You know the combo of Miranda's ability with Chewie. I imagine she would be hard to kill should she be hit.

Personally I prefer Kanan over Kyle on the Outrider. Although Kyle gives you more tokens, you are effectively stuck on the Greens to use them. This makes the Outrider quite predictable and easy to doughnut-hole. Kanan allows you to shed stress on Whites which opens up all of that fantastic YT-2400 dial. The chances of high PS Aces getting into your Range 1 hole is far lower with Kanan on-board as they will have almost no idea where you are going to end up.

Absolutly agree about use of Kanan instead of Kyle. I made a mistake when I put my list. I always play with Kanan.

About chances of a high PS Aces putting at range 1. I agree that Kanan makes you difficult to predict but the high Aces relocation capability makes it not so difficult to catch you at range 1 and if it happens just 2 times, Dash dies. In fact, to be even more unpredictable, the Mangler is perfect. Since ends your activation at range 1 was no longer a problem, your movement are more difficult to predict.

Mangler Dash will not win anything although it can shoot the aces at all ranges it can hurt them at none.

The Dash/Ghost list works because you can protect Dash's R1 friendship bubble with the VCX's Autoblaster and intel agent.

Kyle is more powerful than Kannan but much harder to fly: offensive focus+Target lock and defensive focus at r3 is tough to beat.

You won't get outflown with Mangler Dash + Miranda but you won't win a tournament either.

ScaredofCrows you make a good point. this list is fun but today i was reminded of this playing a friend of mine with his version of palp aces. Lets say it did not go well for me once again. Though i'm not sure if it was as much the list or my flying or a combination of the two. I do enjoy the list but it seems to be one for fun maybe more then any serious competition.
