Stress Danger

By Greebwahn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone!

So I've come into a wee bit of insane appreciation for a classic superdash build (Title, HLC, PTL, EU, Kyle Katarn). However, I'm a bit concerned about running him now when there are so many lists that love to manufacture stress these days. Is he a safe choice? I'm planning on pairing him with Norra with Expertise, Tail Gunner, VT, Title, R2-D2.

Thoughts?

I never regretted having Dash in a list, not matter what my opponent threw at me. If you get a bad matchup, you have to adapt and overcome. Every list has bad matchups; fly what you like and practice against the things your list is weakest against.

Super Dash's main problem is and always has been people getting into his donut hole. He's mobile enough to avoid this most of the time though. You may have to play it a bit more conservatively when you're being handed stress, but it can be done. It also helps to have a specific strategy in mind when placing obstacles in order to make it even harder to exploit his weaknesses.

I'd say he's a very safe choice.
