So, my super hot wife now likes X-Wing and has been repeatedly recking me with her Miranda-Dash list. Now she's going to a tournament with me in three weeks.

Miranda runs bomblet generator, Autobaster, Harpoons, protons, chips, Sabine, EM.

Dash has HLC, Rey, Expertise.

All at 100 points.

Should Dash drop HLC and go to Mangler for the crits, considering Miranda has Harpoons and Dash shoots right after her?

Thanks.

Don't you wish your wife was hot like mine?

Idk, you could be biased :-P

The only part I'd say is I wish my wife was interested in playing - HotAC, standard, anything.

For that list, it may worth experimenting with Mangler instead because of the harpoon missile/condition. I don't know if it truly becomes the best build but at least it has the potential to trigger the condition (unlike HLC, which is dependent on rolling a nat crit after spending a target lock to do so)

She used to HATE X-Wing, but I lost 20 pounds with more on the way, and now she feels loved because that's a big deal to her. So she tried it and liked it.

I had no idea that TL can make crits for the HLC! That might be enough reason to keep it even if it is only 12% chance each die.

Yes, the downgrade crits to hits is only your initial roll, not a re roll. Reroll a blank to a crit? Stays a crit!

The bigger deal with the mangler cannon is actually the lack of a range 1 'blind spot' - with a lot of high hull, low agility targets (big ships, ausitucks, scurrgs, arcs, and k-wings) around, criticals are a good thing, and not having a blind spot stops intensity/bb8 poe dameron and the like getting into the 'safe spot' where the big gun can't shoot at them.

Mangler has a couple of good benefits here:

• No blind spot
• Good for setting off the Harpooned! condition
• Saves a point
• Also means Expertise is probably redundant since it's only a 3-dice attack, and you could save more points by dropping it to Lone Wolf (upping Dash's toughness at the same time)
• Which would pay for the really-quite-useful countermeasures modification or smuggling compartments/rigged cargo chute (because dash always appreciates lots of debris!)

Mangler is fine for Dash at the moment because of the lack of Imperials. If you do Harpoons on Miranda it is worth a try.

How is this part relevant to the topic?

Instead of asking how to make her list better, you should be asking how to beat it.

Um, Harpoons haven't actually been released yet, have they? Probably don't want to plan a list around it unless you've verified that you can... Otherwise, the list itself seems solid.

Unrelated but there is an air conditioner repair store near my house that has a big sign saying "Your wife is HOT! ......."
Always gives me a chuckle.

I think I might be able to with this.

The plan is TB gets his Harpoons off on Miranda, then Dash and Miranda one shot Justero, then my Scurrg will finish Miranda with another Harpoon.

Then it's anyone's game 2 ships vs Dash.

Maybe.

I think someone left himself logged into the forums.

While this is true, we do know that they will be available on 10/26 so they will be legal in any local tournament that day.
