Counter for arc170/more life for nym

By Darth_Gnaffa, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Last night I had a game against this list

Dash Rendar(54) [Dash Rendar(36), Heavy Laser Cannon(7), Push The Limit(3), Munitions Failsafe(1), "Hot Shot" Blaster(3), Kyle Katarn(3), XX-23 S-Thread Tracers(1), Smuggling Compartment(0)]

Norra Wexley(46) [Norra Wexley(29), R2-D2(4), Engine Upgrade(4), Plasma Torpedoes(3), Alliance Overhaul(0), Rey(2), Expertise(4)]

And this is mine

Captain Nym(47) [Captain Nym(30), Veteran Instincts(1), Autoblaster Turret(2), R4-B11(3), Accuracy Corrector(3), Extra Munitions(2), Guidance Chips(0), Bomblet Generator(3), Havoc(0), Cruise Missiles(3)]

Kath Scarlet(53) [Kath Scarlet(38), Heavy Laser Cannon(7), Inertial Dampeners(1), Dengar(3), Expertise(4)]

Nym has done is job with cruise missiles and bomblet but at 4th round he s gone down luckly also Dash the problem was arc that just with one hull recover a shield every round and never goes down....someone has ideas how to work against that ship and how to make more durable Nym??

Use R5P8 to make people unwilling to shoot him? It’s a lot harder now you can’t just bump people to mitigate shots.

That said, Kath on Norra should be an easy win for you...

So you think that my list can be ok and I have just to fly better

1) Nym is doomed to be fairly non-durable. He either needs to arc-dodge or have a wingman more tempting to shoot.

2) The builds you have are potent and hard-hitting. I think it has potential, I'd just practice it more.

3) Your opponent had a solid list. However, Dash is rather vulnerable to blocking, being tied to greens. You can use that. They both also have dead zones, and you have high PS pilots that can take advantage of their blind spots - especially Nym.

Norra has 1 agi. You have kath's backside. Burn her down.

As for dash, nym moves last with an autoblaster. Time to make the donuts.... Get in r1 and stay there.
