Is Dash still viable?

By GameKnights, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I know with the ruling on Han and some of the points adjustments Dash has fallen out of favor, but he's easily my favorite ship to fly. Are there any viable tournament builds? I'm not really looking to win worlds here, but I'd like something that can compete and win a local tournament.

I dunno for his points and obligatory title I think he's just to prohibitively expensive.

I think loading him up to maximise what you get for his cost is a bit of a trap tbh.

We had some good results and a strong ship with just PerCo and Lone Wolf. Problem is, his wingmate then was SNR, ProTorp Luke. It was very much a powered down, 2.0 version of Super Dash and Dancing Poe, but it no longer works at all.

I've not found anything since that I particularly want to run with him. Not that I've really looked far, our Rebel collection is incredibly small.

You get Wedge and Braylen for practically the same cost as naked Dash, and guaranteed they put in more work than Dash. Good rebels are sooooo cheap. Also, Handbrake Han / Fat Han is also taking Dashes spots in lists. Boost on large base is incredible.

Yeah that's what it seems like. I know I'm probably the only person on earth that wants to fly the Outrider over the Falcon but I guess that's where I'm at lol. Thanks guys

I've had success with a few reps of this Dash+Luke list...

Shield on Luke helps offset the overall squad points. R3 as Luke loves taking locks all game.

Agile Gunner is money on Dash and way underrated. Lando tokens are fun more that anything, so keep in mind most of you offensive and defensive consistency are coming from Luke, NOT Dash.

Perception Luke has a game against the I6 aces.
