Norra says, "When attacking or defending, you may spend a target lock you have on the enemy ship to add 1 focus result to your roll."

Title says, "When attacking with a primary weapon from your primary firing arc, you may roll 1 additional attack die. When attacking from your auxiliary firing arc, you may change 1 of your focus results to a Crit result. "

So check out this list.

All move and shoot at PS 7. Norra uses Exp Int to Expose, TL and boost to range 1. Garvin fires, give focus to Norra. She gets +1 red for Expose, +1 red for Title, +1 red for Range and +1 red from Jan. That is 6 reds. Then she spends the lock and adds a focus result. IF she rolls no blanks, she spends the token from Garvin for 7 hits total. If any are lucky crits you could potentially do double digit damage in one shot.

Tournament Competitive? Highly doubtful, but worth it if I one shot my brother's Vessery even once.

Of course she can get 8 hits with Adv Protons but I think its more fun doing it with that 2 primary.

You lost me at Expose.

You lost me at Expose.

LOL. As I said, not competitive, but fun.

My first version was with Kyle giving her a way to defensively spend a lock to add a focus result and then change it to an evade even with 0 agility. Once I realized I had the points for Jan I went for broke and swapped him out for her.

Needs flow chart

Is there any reason you want Expose over Opportunist?

Do the same with an Adv Proton torp and Opportunist, and she gets +1 ability, +1 Opportunist (will need a way to make sure this triggers), +1 Jan boost.

That's 8. I win

I think the point was how a primary 2 att ship can do 7 dice from its primary weapon.

And folks were worried that the arc was going to be underpowered because it just had two guns

In that case, I'm still going with Opportunist over Expose for that extra dice.

I do believe this is the first opportunity (pun intended) to roll 8 attack dice in X-Wing. A cause for celebration, for sure!

Me: Oh I wonder if it has something to do with Jan Ors

OP: ... Jan Ors ...

Me: Oh look, Jan Ors.

Technically you still only get to roll 7,then add the eighth as a focus result. But still, 8 dice!

DIE REBEL SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just crazy enough to be hilariously awesome.

Doesn't the other arc pilot let you spend her target locks? That would give Nora an extra punch.

Plez nerf

Someone lay out the eight dice for me? Reading the title and pilot ability I see primary weapon ..

Quickdraw can do something similar with youngster, not in one attack but still a fist full of red dice

Quickdraw
PTL

Baffle

cluster missiles

special ops. training

chips

Youngster

expose

quickdraw uses expose, ptl for a target lock, baffle, fires (assuming range 1 this is 2(normal) + 1(expose)+ 1(range 1) +1(for ops unless you want the 2nd shot which would be 4 from the back on another range 1 target)), combat then fires cluster for another 6(3+3 total and because of expose and chips gets a crit out of it at least, or if you want the back attack is +8[4 from front 4 from back)

for a total of 11-16 red dice from a single ship in a single round.

Edit: with perfect placement beside a decimator this can knock one out in a single round without the need of crit fishing (just insane luck on dice rolls)

Eh, for obscene single target damage I still don't think it's possible to beat Rexler killing a decimator in one attack activation.

(Cluster Missiles with Opportunist, first attack for four hits removes all shields, second attack does 3 hits drawing major explosion> major explosion> direct hit, direct hit direct hit, spends focus to flip the two major explosions drawing two more direct hits, decimator dead. Theoretically possible but vanishingly unlikely)

Quickdraw killing a decimator in a single turn comes close though, but you need perfect positioning to get all four shots on the same target.

...

Of course she can get 8 hits with Adv Protons but I think its more fun doing it with that 2 primary.

I mentioned the Advanced Torp at the end of the original post but mainly I was seeing what could be done with just the primary. There were already some crazy ways to get extra hits in one round with clusters on N'Dru and other combos but with a 2 primary it is crazy.

I totally forgot about Opportunist it would work as well, but what I was originally going for was a way to get evades with 0 agility and no evade action. Norra uses Weap Eng and R7-T1 to get 2 locks and boost to range 1. Then I had Kyle instead of Jan (see list) to give a focus along with the focus from Garvin. Now if Norra is attacked by a ship she has locked, she can ADD a focus result and convert to an evade with 0 agility and STILL get 6 hits on offense against a second target with the second focus and second lock.

That is some crazy shenanigans going on there. Plus this is all for fun

thats along the same lines of the 7shot Miranda list i cooked up. If pulled off its deadly as hell but its really hard to get it to work and the list has a very obvious flaw in it that can be abused lol.

Upside is you spend that targetlock AFTER you roll to add the focus, so if you roll pretty good you spend it for the focus if not you reroll. So its a 6die attack with a potential for 7 if you roll good initially.

Why bother?
Jan ors+Dash has 5\5 shooting HLK and it's more than enough to wipe teh floor

I think this might be my new favorite Rebel bucket of dice strategy.

N'Dru Shulak with Opportnist and Cluster Missles can unleash 9 shots in one turn

PILOTS

Norra Wexley (37)
ARC-170 (29), R2 Astromech (1), Opportunist (4), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Wes Janson (30)
X-Wing (29), R4-D6 (1), Adaptability (0), Integrated Astromech (0)

Shara Bey (33)
ARC-170 (28), Targeting Astromech (2), Adaptability (0), Weapons Engineer (3), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Norra moves and removes stress, gets focus from Katarn. TL for action. Wes attacks strips tokens, kicking in Norra's Opportunist (+1), Title (+1), Range1 (+1), Ability (+1 focus). Uses Shara Bey TL to reroll any blanks. Changes eyeballs to hits with focus token. 6 damage, not bad And next turn, she can do it all again since she has stress from Opportunist and 8+ green maneuvers from R2 astro for Katarn to kick in.

This is like the Keygan Superlaser list from wave 4 or whenever rebel aces came out.

Except it was HLC on Keygan with oppertunist, Jan and Wes to buff the attack by adding dice and strip defensive tokens for the oppertunist trigger. Keygan takes target lock or barrel roll as the action and spends stress from oppertunist for the focus. Usually could oneshot cloaked phantoms even if they took all the defensive upgrades they could.

This was cool before the rebels did it in the tv show :sunglasses:

It will be fun to try out your new list of rebels superweapon shenanigans too.

I'm pretty new to this so I could be way out here in left field, But... Garven Dreis has an EPT slot?

Sorry, I'm just confused and looking for someone with more experience then I to clear this up for me.
