Tricky Dash build, looking for critique and suggestions

By StriderZessei, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Here's what i have so far:

YT-2400: · Dash Rendar (36)

Trick Shot (0)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Smuggling Compartment (0)

Hot Shot Co-Pilot (4)

· Outrider (5)

Munitions Failsafe (1)

Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Part of me wants to swap out Cargo and Munitions for Glitterstim and Guidance Chimps, but I really like the synergy of Trick Shot and Cargo.

Also, what should his wingman be? I've tried the VCX and I'm not a big fan of it.

I'm considering Miranda with Seismic Torpedoes just so I can drop some garbage on an Ace and then blow it up in their face...

TLT Miranda is a great wingman for any Dash. Seismic Torps is a bad idea, because you're taking advantage away from Dash. In his list Dash is lacking action efficiency and dice modification: two things he sorely needs. I would drop Cluster missiles to give him a real EPT intead of a freebie gimmick.

So perhaps something like Lone Wolf?

Lone Wolf or PTL are favourites on Dash for good reason. He has decent dice for both defense and attack (with HLC/Outrider) but with just naked dice, you are at the mercy of the fate.

I'm just now realizing HSCP only works with primary weapons, so he loses half the benefit on Dash. Maybe Rey...

Rey + Lone Wolf is interesting.

I'd drop the Cluster missiles and go with Engine Upgrade. Dash without it just can't move like you want him to. You are much easier to pin down.

HSCP only works on primaries. Swap for Kanaan, take off the missiles, and add PTL. That's the SuperDash varient. And as said above Miranda is a very good wingman for Dash. She's mobile, punchy, very fast, and has regen for the late game. What's not to love?
