What do you guys think about this list? I don't have access to Sabine for Captain Nym or engine upgrade for Dash. The plan is to try to keep everyone range 2 or beyond and make opponents think twice about getting close to Nym with bomblets. I was also playing around with the idea of giving Nym an Ion cannon turret for those aces that want to get close like Fen.

Your Lone Wolf Dash will struggle with action economy. Rey is much better than Rec Spec. Slow roll to build up focus tokens, then you have more freedom to barrel roll in shooting rounds.

You're filling Nym's ept slot with Deadeye to give you flexibility on one attack. Take Long-Range Scanners to set up your Cruise Missile instead of Guidance chips to modify it. Then take any other EPT you can afford.

That's a good point about deadeye. I don't have access to Rey at this time. This list is for a store championship tommorow so I can't proxy it.

I was thinking of leaving recon spec on Dash and swapping out recon with Jan Ors on Nym. That way I can give myself an auto evade if I feel like I'm going to be taking alot of fire.

As for the EPT on Nym it's a tie between Veteran Instincts so I can shoot first. Or Predator to make up for the lack of target lock close in.

My version:

Dash Rendar - Outrider, Heavy Laser Cannon, Kanan Jarrus, Push the Limit, Engine Upgrade - 58

Captain Nym - Veteran Instincts, Havoc, Autoblaster Turret, Accuracy Corrector, Genius, Bomblet Generator, Hull Upgrade - 42

Dash does Dash; Nym gets in the way.
