Dash - Chewy Build Questions

By homeboyslim, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Dash Rendar ; Heavy Laser Cannon + Recon Specialist + Predator + Outrider
Chewbacca ; Millennium Falcon + Predator

I played this recently, I won and really enjoyed flying it, but possibly playing it again in a small tournament this month, looking for any recommendations/changes.

Maybe switch Dash to Leebo with Determination for extra Crit resistance. Then give Chewie Rage, Inspiring Recruit and Kanan for all the rerolls.

50 Leebo (34), Determination (1) , HLC (7), Outrider (5), Rec Spec (3)

50 Chewie (42), Rage (1), Inspiring Recuit (1), Kanan (3), Countermeasures (3)

would you switch out rec spec for rey so you can get target lock and focus or just keep the recspec for offense/defense focus? love that build though

Generally agree with Kentc86 that Rey is better than Rec Spec because she's more flexible. If you want double focus you can still get it, but you can also get focus+barrel roll, focus+Target Lock, etc. Although with Predator already in that's less significant so I would also try switching to Determination.

Maybe this:

100 points

PILOTS

“Leebo” (50)
YT-2400 Freighter (34), Determination (1), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Rey (2), Outrider (5), Smuggling Compartment (0), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Counter-Measures (3)

Chewbacca (50)
YT-1300 (42), Rage (1), Inspiring Recruit (1), Kanan Jarrus (3), Counter-Measures (3)

ok so i have played my original build and slayed both times. Love a lot of your ideas and appreciate the input.

I may actually tweak and switch to Kentc86 recommendation to Rey to see how that works...i did use double focus a few times but foudn i didnt really need it, so maybe a lock and focus might work better.

Nitro, are you saying pick up Determination in addition to Predator? I would be over on points, but i might have missed what you were actually recommending.

wfain, Thanks as well, only issue is i found myself flying through debris/obstacles often to get position (probably due to new piloting skills) so I am hesitant to swap Dash for Leebo

ohhhh, i do like the 50 Chewie (42), Rage (1), Inspiring Recuit (1), Kanan (3), Countermeasures (3).

I am all about getting offensive rerolls

Homeboyslim, to clear it up, yes I am suggesting Determination instead of Predator. Since they both sit in the Elite slot you sadly can't have both here :(

With Rey crew you can Focus+Lock which is practically as good as Predator and focus at a much lower cost. Then with Leebo's ability to pick his crit combined with Determination he has a decent chance to ignore a couple crits altogether :)
