What's the normal EPT on Dash?

By mazz0, in X-Wing

If you take another 2400, both with cargo chutes, and dash has Rey crew.....

Suddenly you're throwing a lot of 5 die attacks with 2 actions, no stress, and forcing the enemy to play in the obstacles.

Don't forget the title is unique, you are better off taking a 1300 for your second ship.

Or I can actually make you scared of my 40-some point ship.

Yes, but the point is Dash has a Heavy Laser Cannon! He's rolling five reds at every range, and he loves asteroids already.

Except he isn't rolling any dice at range 1. Three dice at range 1 is three reason to choose Mangler.

Well no, the asteroid is at range one!

I would take a 4-dice attack with TL+F over a 5-dice attack with only one modifier.

Rey crew says what up to actionless focus tokens.

Also, this is three points cheaper and doesn't leave you stressed.

Yeah, but don't forget, they still get the extra green dice. You win out slightly based on the probabilities of the different dice

Considering how much success I've gotten from Zuckuss (and without FCS, I run Sensor Jammer), I think the probability is worth it.

Shoot, Trick Shot on Zuckuss with AdvS and the title/tractor feels like it should work really well. Not that that's a PWT.

Man, it's almost like I know what I'm talking about. If you pair trickshot/Rey dash with leebo, VI, and hot cops, suddenly my cannon is very scary and my turret is incredibly useful. Dash hammers home the 5 die justice.

That's what I said.

Trick shot/Rey dash with leebo, VI and hot cops.

Everyone is all "oh but the title only goes on one of them" like every big ship since the aggressor hasn't been "hey jerkwad your forward arc is important."

No need to get all snarky dude, I was agreeing with you!

I've tried it, and while it does work, 9 times out of 10 I'm running dash as half of a two ship list, and my experience with two ship lists is that you need to be throwing as many red dice as possible. Same reason I moved to HLC/crack shot brobots instead of mangler/PtL ones. In that case FCS and Iggy C gives you action economy, and throwing 8 dice I've found is a lot better than 6 than you might first think. In this case, Dash's wingperson (be it Miranda, Poe or a VCX) needs to bring the pain (and ideally some regen) but so does Dash. There have been plenty of games where I have needed that 4th die to punch through an opponent's defenses, and with Kanan I've never had an opponent be able to stay in the donut hole for more than one turn. Heck, even with Kyle you don't NEED to do a green. It helps, but an actionless shot is better than no shot.

TL;DR: I've never regretted taking an HLC, but I have regretted taking a Mangler.

I love me a good dual YT2400 list (search Brocakes), but I'm not following your jargon here (hot cops?). What's the list please?
