ASASSN-14dx showed an extraordinary outburst whose features are a small outburst amplitude (∼2.3 mag) and long duration (>4 yr). Because we found a long observational gap of 123 d before the outburst detection, we propose that the main outburst plateau was missed and that this outburst is just a “fading tail” often seen after the WZ Sge-type super-outbursts. In order to distinguish between WZ Sge and SU UMa-type dwarf novae (DNe), we investigated Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) statistically. We applied a logistic regression model and succeeded in classifying by using absolute Gaia magnitudesMGand Gaia colorsGBP–GRP. Our new classifier also suggests that ASASSN-14dx is the best candidate of a WZ Sge-type DN. We estimated distances from the Earth of known WZ Sge stars by using Gaia DR2 parallaxes. The result indicates that ASASSN-14dx is the third-nearest WZ Sge star (next to WZ Sge and V455 And), and hence the object can show the third-brightest WZ Sge-type super-outburst whose maximum isV= 8–9 mag.
