Super Dash & Survival Poe

By C3gorach, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm probably not the first to make this list, but I reckon it's decent against the meta so i'll put it here for critique.

Super Dash+Survival Poe

=======================

Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (42)

T-70 X-Wing (33), R5-P9 (3), Pattern Analyzer (2), Lone Wolf (2), Autothrusters (2)

Dash Rendar (58)

YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kanan Jarrus (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

At least for my play style, I feel like Dash really benefits from having a true "ace" as his wingman. Some may argue with my nomenclature, but to me that means having a ship with high PS that has lots of options for re-positioning and generally being unpredictable. That's why I go with BB-8, Primed Thrusters, and PtL (I also like Black One but sometimes drop it for the init. bid). The action economy isn't quite as good as Vader or Soontir, obviously, but you have all the tools you need to really make it hard for enemy ships to get in Dash's doughnut while also avoiding Poe. Also, every time I put Lone Wold on Dash's wingman I ended up having to keep them too close together to get many activations, but again that comes down to play style.

Hm... so you think Maneuverable Poe is a better wingmate than Survival Poe. Tbh I haven't tried him your way, i'll give it a go.

YMMV but I always feel like the best way to be survivable is to just never get shot at all! PtL + BB-8 + Primed Thrusters shenanigans just gives your opponent sooooo many chances to guess wrong about where Poe is going to end up. That's a welcome change of speed when EVERYONE knows what Dash is going to do...

I like the build but wish there was a way to get the title on to Poe. Maybe switch Pattern Analyzer for Primed Thrusters? Or go to old Poe.

This is the List I like to use,

Dash Rendar (56) YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Nien Nunb (1), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (44) T-70 X-Wing (33), Black One (1), R5-P9 (3), Pattern Analyzer (2), Predator (3), Autothrusters (2)

Disregard this.
