I played this in a 132 player tournament this weekend.

when the double tap fires, it can erase a ship first engage. I went 2-4 having seen it fire well exactly twice. Roark is too squishy and can’t stay out of the fight long enough to leverage the outriders big gun

no surprise that on the games I won, people targeted Dash over Roark to start

I’m pretty sure this is just a big trap. It’s going to be good if points drop and you can fit more defensive stuff on Roark, or a third ship to bolster the list a bit

This is sadly true which is why i believe Leebo is a better alternative. Leebo can get C3P0 to trigger everytime he is shot and gives the ship a bit more durability over dash. which is vital as the list relies on just these two ships. Maybe try out something like this list instead?

“Leebo” — YT-2400 Light Freighter 98
Han Solo 12
C-3PO 12
Outrider 14
Rigged Cargo Chute 4
Ship Total: 140

Roark Garnet — HWK-290 Light Freighter 38
Trick Shot 1
Cassian Andor 6
Engine Upgrade 3
Moldy Crow 12
Ship Total: 60
Half Points: 30 Threshold: 3

It's not Dash that's the problem, it is that the 'gimmick' relies entirely on a single, very weak ship. Two dice and 2 focus doesn't last that long.

i dare say i'm very happy to hear that you don't think it's that good. i think it's totally broken, but that's probably just because i normally fly lists with very few ships. one of them getting instantly deleted is very rough.

One of the guys who beat me spent the entire time telling me that while he pounded me.

Would this be any good?

I find it incredibly boring that the only time people fly Dash is with this combo, meta stunts creativity.

Removing the FAQ about Dash and Roark and dropping some points from the 2400 would mean people would find some more interesting ways to fly Dash.
