The Dance of Super Dash

By Jadotch, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok, here’s the list the Classic Super Dash Plus 2 U-Wing blockers. Here is the list that I will be going with:

Super Dash Dance (100)

•Dash Rendar (58) - YT-2400
Push The Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), •Kyle Katarn (3), •Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

Partisan Renegade (21) - U-Wing
Renegade Refit (-2), Tactical Jammer (1)

Partisan Renegade (21) - U-Wing
Renegade Refit (-2), Tactical Jammer (1)

It is simply stated but will need to be skillfully played, block and keep the U-Wings between Dash and the Target.

Thoughts? Critisms? Critiques?

I have no idea if those Us will be worth their points, but bloody **** will Dash be hard to kill. People will surely be blocked day in and day out, letting Dash stay behind his Us for extra defense, still hitting hard as ever.

One way or the other, this is creative. I'd just need to see it on the board.

Honestly I kinda want to try it myself

Super Leebo would work as well. And you could put Intelligent Agents or Wookie Commandos on the Us.

I just prefer Dash.

The only downside to this build is a Stressed Dash will be super predictable. Kanan over kyle if you ask me. Kyle may be nice in the beginning when the U-wings are in front, but super Dash's greatest strength is he could be anywhere, and this version makes him easy to block.

Also, collision detector on the U's. they are 0 points, and if you run debris, you make 2 bulky, very immobile ships a little more damage resistant. Oh, and courier droids, because, why not.

I love this idea. Anyone think Rey would work here?

YT-1300: •Rey (54)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
•Millennium Falcon (HotR) (1)
Veteran Instincts (1)
•Finn (5)
•Saw Guerrera (1)
Inertial Dampeners (1)

U-Wing: Partisan Renegade (24)
Tactical Jammers (1)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Collision detector (0)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Courier Droid (0)
•Hera Syndulla (1)

U-Wing: Partisan Renegade (22)
Tactical Jammers (1)
Collision detector (0)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Courier Droid (0)
•"Zeb" Orrelios (1)

Total: 100/100

APL, zeb and a few others are interchangeable if you want a more standard Rey. But its 27 hit points on 1-2 agi ships. one uwing can stay put if need be and the other can bump and take shots. And if you have enemy ships in front and want to pull of 3 speed 0, guess what you can. Saw gives you expertise on crack(even while stressed which is a plus), just better hope you get the damage through before taking too much

I only picked Kyle to move around the U's more reliably. I was also thinking about Expertise & Rey on Dash as well. I will play with everything for a bit.

Yes, collision detectors & courier droids are pretty much a given.

Hey there are gonna be times where you flip and you're gonna want to flip again. And by god you are gonna be able to ?

Im just looking to fly something janky that can win some games. I have a few yarro lists, and Rey with swarm leader. Few others i want to try out but no time

A SC this sat is a no tlt, bomblet, or condition card tourney so i think that'll make more lists viable that msy not be otherwise

Get ready to be totally shut down by the first Strezra you encounter. Really, any stress dealing mechanic is going to be almost an auto-loss. Most of the meta at the moment really doesn't care about being blocked, especially Ghost/Fenn, whose Ghost alone will Solo Dash+U-Wings. Add in that your own Dash is incredibly blockable and weak on defence, and you've got a list that will be wrecked by any experienced players, especially those with large ships to limit Dash.

Since HotR dropped, there's only been one good Dash build - Lone Wolf + Rey. That's 6 points cheaper, has better offense, defense, and mobility so long as you don't need to double reposition. He has better stress resistance, doesn't care about being blocked and gets free tokens each round. Those six points can let you give him glitterstim + countermeasures.

Dash (52)
HLC
Outrider
LW
Rey

Partisan Renegade (24)
Ezra
Hera
Collision Detector
Title
Refit

Partisan Renegade (24)
Maul
Inspiring Recruit
Collision Detector
Title
Refit

Totalling 100 points.

You lose the super blocking shenanigans, but the U-wings remain capable of guarding Dash. They gain double mods under many circumstances, and the inspiring recruit on U-Wing 2 gives Dash a massive boost in stress resistance. It's still far, far better to have Poe, Miranda or Corran alongside Dash, but this is probably as good as U-wings get.
