Is the math in the ARC article right?

By Darth Landy, in X-Wing

Nora base attack (2) + Alliance Overhaul (1) + Range 1 (1) + Expose (1) + Nora's bonus (1) = 6 dice results, not 7.

Nora w/Advanced Torpedoes (5) + Expose (1) + Nora's bonus (1) = 7 dice results, not 8.

Or am I missing something?

Jan Ors?

Yes it says in a list with something something and Jan Ors, iirc

Expose won't work with APT, expose says primary weapon only. Unless I missed an faq fix

It sure does work with Opportunist and jan ors.

Nora base attack (2) + Alliance Overhaul (1) + Range 1 (1) + Expose (1) + Nora's bonus (1) = 6 dice results, not 7.

+ Jan Ors (1) + Shara Bey Target Lock (1) = 8

Nora w/Advanced Torpedoes (5) + Expose (1) + Nora's bonus (1) = 7 dice results, not 8.

Nora w/Advanced Torpedoes (5) + Nora's bonus (1) + Opportunist (1) + Shara Bey Target Lock (1) + Jan Ors (1) = 9

We've all learned the hard way that the articles can be and often are wrong. Never assume it's right because it's an official article.

Still only 8. AO doesn't work with secondary weapons

Nora w/Advanced Torpedoes (5) + Nora's bonus (1) + Opportunist (1) + Shara Bey Target Lock (1) + Jan Ors (1) = 9

Isn't Shara's TL just one of the triggers for Nora's ability, which brings the dice count to 8 ?

Oh well guess it stays at 8

still fun tho

Except you'll never live long enough to get into range one, it's a 1 agility ship, heck the HWK isn't exactly hard to pop if you want to remove Jan.

Just because you can do a thing does not mean you should do it.

yeah but it sure is fun to try

the irony is that, at 8 dice, you lose APT's only real good point which is the basically guaranteed five hits

never before have I never seen the "up to 3 blanks" limit reached :(

now, if you want some half-way workable jank, you can just go down to Plasmas (1 die of difference, come on) and run Norra, Shara and Jan

Norra with her ability + Jan hit 5 dice plasmas with either full mods + chips or focus + chips + extra hit from Norra for 6 results total

enough room for PTL + bb-8 +tail gunner Norra (which is pretty scary with jan even without torps) with Plasmas, TLT Jan and some extra on Shara

Doh my bad.... But 8 dice is still a lot.

The rebels have this really annoying pilot named Biggs who says otherwise. :)

Okay so she dethrones the A-Wing for maximum dice results. Previous champ:

A-Wing + Prockets + Opportunist + Jan = 7.

Pretty sure there's some language in the article that means they're aware of the difficulty involved in trying to make this combo work...

I believe Miranda Doni with APTs was the previous champ. Still 7 dice but more chance of hits

Any rebel ship with EPT and torp slot + jan ors can get to 7 dice, not very effective but still 7 dice.
