Running the following list:

Norra Wexley w/PTL, Title, Tail Gunner, R2-D2, Vector Thrusters

Biggs w/R3-A2, IA

Braylen w/Targeting Astromech, Proton Torps, Chips, Tail Gunner, Title

I've played with this list several times now, and I REALLY like how the ARC handles herself. One glaring issue with the ARC, however, is it's utter lack of defensive capabilities off the bat. 1 Defense die makes it a little tougher Y-Wing. The Dial is actually really nice, very similar to the Y-Wing dial except 4 more greens, gives it some really nice options.

Biggs is almost a no brainer to include him to help run cover for the ARC. Without him, the ARC burns down real fast.

PTL is also a no brainer for Norra. Her ability is extremely well put together and an all paint range 1 4 attack roll turning magically into 5 hits loves to wipe things out, and doing the same with Tail Gunner, turning 3 to 4 hits, and forcing your opponent to roll 1 less defense die is even better.

Braylen's ability triggers a lot. 50% of the time on average, but if you are lucky, way more than that. Get that torp off, K-turn, get that stress off and then focus, a nice little PTL with a cleared out stress. IMHO better than Hobbie w/Targeting Astro because of durability and the aux arc with tail gunner.

Speaking of Tail Gunner, if you aren't running Tail Gunner on it, You might as well not run it, imho. The only thing I could imagine is running weapons engineer on Shara, but I see her in more of an Epic gameplay role like Esege, not terribly competitive.

Lots of fun to play, a dream to run around with. Not infallable, but will have you thinking because of that Aux arc.

On a side note, the model itself is BEAUTIFUL. Seriously...all the models in this wave are up there with some of the most beautiful models FFG has had made yet for X-Wing. Not disappointed at all.
