Dash/Miranda

By Tbetts94, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Store Champs (100)

Dash Rendar (53) - YT-2400
Lone Wolf (2), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Rey (2), Outrider (5), Smuggling Compartment (0), Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

Miranda Doni (47) - K-Wing
Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Sabine Wren (2), Thermal Detonators (3), Proximity Mines (3), Advanced SLAM (2)

Idea behind Proxy Mines instead of Clusters is just to get use to bombs and also be able to fit Thermals and Rigged Cargo Chute. Was trying to get Countermeasures in there for Torp shots, but couldn't quite fit the points.

Having two stress "bombs" in the list from two different ships seems like it can be quite powerful. Rigged Cargo also seems like a nice counter to other Miranda's. What are your thoughts on this layout?

I've never been a fan of Dash/Miranda, or Dash/Nora. Dash is a beast, but every time I've gone up against these kinds of list, I burn down Dash's partner first, than spend the rest of the match chasing Dash down. Miranda doesn't last long if you focus fire on her. Even with the SLAM, she just doesn't keep up with him

I am a fan of Ghost-Dash. Focussing down a Lothal Rebel takes dedicated firepower and it hits (and looks) like a brick. Here is my usual arrangement.

58 Dash (36), HLC (7), Outrider (5), PTL (3), Kanan (3), EU (4)
42 Lothal Rebel (35), Hera (1), Han Solo (2), ABT (2), FCS (2)

If you want to run a slightly cheaper Eco-Dash you can do that as it will give you the points to upgrade Han to Ezra (who is both fluffy and works well in this build).

56 Dash (36), HLC (7), Outrider (5), Lone Wolf (2), Rey (2), Smuggling Compartment (0), Cargo Chute (1), Countermeasures (3)
43 Lothal Rebel (35), Hera (1), Ezra (3), ABT (2), FCS (2)

I always end up torn between Rey and Recon Specialist.

I run this and like it a lot. Bring debris clouds, try to make a fairly tight obstacle cluster and lure your opponent into it either Dash or Miranda, whichever makes sense.

I'm very good with Dash, but have never had the right partner thus only keeping it casual. I also hate TLT and bombs so I refused to run Miranda. But I really want to start flying Dash competively and Miranda is simply the best Rebel ship in the game. It will take some good flying though because of those weaknesses.

I've run a VCX and Dash before and may go back to it. I've seen Han/FCS combo in person a few weeks ago and it was really good. May give it a try again, only concern is MOV really.

That was my first iteration I came up with too, but I was trying to make room for Countermeasures on Dash and it slowly developed into the build I got now, still no Countermeasures lol. What's your opinion on Cluster Mines verses Proxy Mines?

I'll always make room for Cluster Mines over Proximity Mines. They cover more surface area, have more tokens to activate Sabine and have the possibility to deal twice as much damage.

See I knew I needed Countermeasures and the European Champion fit it in his list by dropping Dash to Leebo! Great thinking!
