As someone who flew with Dash a lot even to some success , 2 x top 4 regionals last season , here are some of my thoughts . Dash is amazing to fly . Unpredictable , fast , hard hitting , amazeballs overall . However , he has several drawbacks . One being is that he takes up a lot of points and does not safeguard them very well . With 2 agi he does NOT like other turret ships and anyone that can get into his R 1 bubble . He gives out half points very easily , and dies a just as easy . The other problem is that you cannot take a super equiped second rebel ship with him like fully kitted Corran or Miranda you have to settle for suboptimal versions . He loves ships with just front arc , but there are also A LOT of ships in the meta that shoot 360 degrees . If you can shoot at dengar , he can shoot at you , and he is double modifying both attacks and defense , while you are potentially just TLing attack and focusing on defense . 2 TLTs will finish you up quite quick if you don ' t focus them down with your entire list . While his movement capabilities are great , he also has to keep in mind his teammate , so they can coordinate the strike together , which is often hard since he ' s so nimble and no one else is close to that . He hates stress control as much as aces do , and he hates any sort of imp aces build that can on demand roll out of range 3 or into range 1 . His damage output is often same as a TLT , so he sort of directly competes against Miranda , who can do much more with bombs and regen .
