Dash and Corran

By Rolotamasi, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I know Dash and Corran is not the best anymore. I just can't crack the Mirandanut, so I want to try someone else with Dash.. Here is what I came up with:

Corran Horn (35)
Expertise (4)
Fire-Control System (2)
R2-D2 (4)
Stealth Device (3)

Dash Rendar (36)
Lone Wolf (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Rey (2)
Outrider (5)

Total: 100

I want to have EU on there but there are no more points. I think Expertise is crucial to make the best use of the 2 shots. Stealth Device is nice for extra defense. With it a focus action could go to waste so a point shaving of 1 could go to R5.

So the options are R2-D2 and Stealth Device -or- R5-P9 and Engine Upgrade.

Thoughts?

R5-P9 and Engine Upgrade compete for Corran's action. R2-D2 isn't action dependent, so you can save your action to focus for defense.

If you see lots of Kylo's or wampas I'd go with hull upgrade instead of SD.

i've played Expertise Corran for about 15 games and I really like it

If aces got close to Dash, he used Dash like a bumpmaster (or drops the chute) and Corran sweeps in and double taps. Gave my Inquisitor and Vessery hell.

Do you not value expertise on this? There is one point available for it. I think he double shot gives good value for it. Thoughts?

In the game vs me, if he had expertise he would have lost. I had Corran range 1 behind my swarm leader backdraft and he turtled up. And without PTL to boost and b-roll, I would have gunned for Corran first instead of Dash to take him out since getting my three aces on him would be easy. If I can take Quickdraw out in a single round and survive, I can take non PTL Corran out. That boost/b-roll puts Corran in firing positions that he would not get otherwise. And turtling up after your double tap is great. I think its a risky 48/49pts not going PTL, or at least not running with Ahsoka.

Playing Corran is so much fun! I don't have a ton of experience, but my thoughts are similar to wurms:

With PTL, boost (from EU), and naturally having BR, though only PS 8, Corran can arc dodge as good as anything out there (obviously with BR Fenn Rau at PS9 will be able to track him down). Obvious weaknesses would be double stress (Asaj, Stressbot, etc.) after stressing from PTL. Another advantage is being able to BR or Boost, then PTL for an evade if you are trying to just run and regen.

Expertise also can be victim to stress mechanics, and without EU/PTL, you will not be able to reposition as well, which could mean losing him earlier. Even if you only dodge 1 or 2 arcs, and still take some fire, it may be the difference between surviving to regen.

Or just take Marksmanship on him ;) (jk)
