Dash + Poe or Dash + Nora?

By John Rainbow, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Which list do you guys think is better? The standard dash:

Dash Rendar — YT-2400 36
Push the Limit 3
Heavy Laser Cannon 7
Kanan Jarrus 3
Engine Upgrade 4
Outrider 5
Ship Total: 58

.. flying with

Poe Dameron — T-70 X-Wing 31
Lone Wolf 2
R2-D2 4
Sensor Cluster 2
Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 41

or...

Norra Wexley — ARC-170 29
Push the Limit 3
Tail Gunner 2
R2-D2 4
Engine Upgrade 4
Alliance Overhaul 0
Ship Total: 42

Both lists are effectively Dash + a tank. I like Nora as while Dash does the hard work she can run away and still shoot from the rear arc while Poe is always good and is maybe tougher to kill off? Thoughts and comments? Any thoughts on list changes are also welcome.

I've been running standard 58 point Super Dash with a 42 point Acrobat Poe and its done pretty well

Edit: I haven't tried Dash with an ARC yet, but I use to do Dash + B-wing and the B-wing always died quickly

When you say acrobat you mean BB-8 and PTL version?

I had thought about Dash + 2x B-wing but it sounds like you went for a B-wing ace? I think you need something more maneuverable with Dash as he is so fast that whatever else you take becomes a big target, especially if it is a slower ship (hence engine on Nora and running away which she cares less about with the tail gunner mods).

PS 9 Poe, BB8, PTL, Black One, Autothrusters, Primed Thrusters

And I had Keyan Farlander with Rage, Advanced Sensors, B-Wing/E2, and Jan Ors

I tried Dash and Norra. You might as well fly just Dash. Norra died too fast for R2-D2 to save her.

I like Pattern Analyzer better than Sesnsor Cluster for Poe. The card is made for his pilot ability. Focus after a red move? Yes please.

This is my Dash/Poe list:

Black Out (98)

Poe Dameron (43) - T-70 X-Wing

Push The Limit (3), BB-8 (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Black One (1), Autothrusters (2)

Dash Rendar (55) - YT-2400

Push The Limit (3), "Mangler" Cannon (4), Kanan Jarrus (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

I tried the Lone Wolf/regen versions of Poe, but the way Dash moves I had to keep choosing between good moves or range for Lone Wolf.
