Poe Dameron might not be the main character in the New Timeline, however he is still very important. Below are my 5 favorite moments I gave him.

5. Inspiring the Men of Crete

Poe basically saved some Greek rebels with his bravery and skills. Then he formed them into a formidable army. And he proceeded to lead said army into victories.

4. Helping defeat the Hydra

Being the best pilot, Poe uses his ship to confront the big, mindless beasts, and sometimes not so mindless. The biggest and toughest of which was the nine-headed Hydra, strongest monster of Greece arc. Poe actually destroys some heads and keeps fighting even after being shot down. Only fourth because he had help by Toni, who was training Finn in his spare time.

3. Stalling the First Order

The biggest battle in Path of a Rebel was the Great Siege of Rome, where a (then) dangerous Silver Moblin led an army of Agents and monsters against werewolves, rebel humans, and even Finn, Rey and Rose. There was also a Knight of Ren, who was killed by the last two.
He originally had a big fleet with him, all being First Order. However, Poe Dameron and his own fleet attacked and managed to demolish the entire First Order squadron except for the Knight, who reached Earth alone. If not for Poe, the outcome would be far different in the siege.

2. Defeating Victor Checkmate

Brawn is not everything in fights. And Poe, out of his ship, has to rely mostly on brains. He also is the best chess player in the team. Checkmate, as his name suggest, is the best chess player in the world. Armilla hired him to defeat Stormwolf and he managed to defeat the clever Q first. Poe was second and even he struggled against the chess master, but used psychology and indirect teamwork to hand Checkmate his only defeat at his own game, after a duel of wits. It's actually a hard choice between this and...

1. Killing a Shadow Priest

This is in the last chapter of the Japanese arc and shows that Poe will allow nobody to abuse their power. The Priest was bullying a Yokai for liking humans and Poe had nothing of this. On foot, using just his blaster, he showed what a regular human could do when Finn grew too strong to still be one. The priest didn't get to intimidate or hurt Poe at all. Killing the high-ranking demon gave Poe an actual bounty, and bounties here are not for anyone.
In the red corner, we have Luffy, the meat-loving, adventurous pirate captain!

In the blue corner, we have Sterk, the cold-blooder killer who targets meat-eaters! (Btw, he uses only canon arsenal and abilities, so not my buffs here)

FIGHT!

Luffy is eating a big pile of meat again, stuffing as much as he can in his mouth. When suddenly someone points a big knife at him.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Sterk, and I am here to stop your senseless violence. Right now, you make many innocents suffer for your selfish pleasure."

"I am just eating meat. I supposed you wanted my head because I am a pirate, and in fact aiming to be the King of Pirates!"

"No. As my friends tell me, piracy is not nearly as evil as eating meat."

Luffy can only stare at this guy. This does not make sense. He demolished the champion of the CP9 and this guy's problem is that he is eating meat?

"Do you know why I want to be the Pirate King? So I can be free of people who hate others for their race, wealth or what they eat. I might be a pirate, but I don't kill, especially for something as petty as eating meat."

Sterk frowns. "Heh... it's actually my best excuse. As anyone knows, people who disagree with me are but animals... or at least equal."

And he summons zombies, his previous victims.

Luffy has seen such self-righteousness only from Akainu and the Celestial Dragons. The former is probably the one person Luffy would ever kill.

As the zombies march at the pirate, he gives them a badass glare. And they are all knocked out, one by one.

The Conqueror's Haki even makes Sterk nervous, but doesn't knock him out, for his will to serve the demonkind and murder people is strong.

He takes advantage of Luffy being distracted by the minions and shoots him six times. But Luffy's rubber body deflects all bullets.

"Hmmm... strange."

"I am rubber! Gomu Gomu No... Pistol!"

The professional killer and demon, emotionlessly, dodges the fist and manages to slash Luffy's arm, actually drawing blood.

"Rubber, huh? Not good for sharp objects. You are good, but I am a demon."

"I am not afraid of you! I have confronted worse zombie masters who even stole shadows! I am not even afraid of Yonko. Come on!"

Sterk charges with his big knife to chop the Straw Hat. However, Luffy's fruit is stronger than someone could think.

"Gomu Gomu No... Gatling!"

Sterk gets hundreds of fast rubber punches to the face, which becomes bloody.

"Ugh... I will teach you to eat meat, murderer!"

Insulted, Luffy who hasn't murdered anybody retaliates with... "Gomu Gomu No... Bazooka!"

And Sterk is launched really far away, too weak to fight back any longer. Unbeknownst to Luffy, who keeps his hands clean this way, Sterk lands on top of a big wedding cake. The last thing he remembers is the mouth of a fat giant woman who didn't even notice him.
