Most Competitive Arc170 Build so far?

By CBS Ink, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys,

Im looking forward to receiving my 2 Arc170s!

I wanted to ask the Community what you think the Most Competitive Arc170 Builds are so far?

Thanks!

So far I came up with this ship configuration - it works well with Biggs and Corran:

Braylen Stramm

r3-a2

Gunner

Alliance Overhaul

Total: 32

It is relatively cheap and gives out stress like candy. In my opinion this is the best configuration for ARC.

Thane Kyrell (26)

Tail Gunner (2)

R3-A2 (2)

Vectored Thrusters (2)

Alliance Overhaul (0)


Total: 32


1) Fly the above alongside Biggs in order to use Thane's ability and keep your expense ARC-170 on the table

2) Insert 42pt ace of your choice

3) ???

4) Profit

I'm not a tournament player by any means, but I do look forward to throwing this at a buddy of mine in casual play:

Braylen Stramm(25)

Targeting Astromech(2)

Ezra Bridger(3)

Alliance Overhaul(0)

30 points. Vectored Thrusters optional for 32 points

I figure I can take a red maneuver and get a target lock, if Braylen's ability succeeds I can take a focus and if not then I'll be able to use Ezra on a focus result. Shot's from the rear arc might get particularly interesting since only blanks will be an issue; two focus results would turn two crits when stressed. I don't know how competitive it'll be, but it should lay out some hits.

This, love gunner stressbot Braylen!

My Norra build I like:

Predator + Rey + r7-t1 + EI + title

Lets her focus, then target lock and boost. Plus reroll for any blanks, making her a consistent 4/5 hit ship. Rey banks focus tokens early, for when R7-T1 is out of range, Norra can just TL and grab a focus from Rey.

With the new M9G8 droid, it's a nice support for PTL Norra though. Giving her that reroll to hit hard. Maybe put that on shara bey with weapons engineer and team her with Norra. One TL on Norra, one on Norra's target that Norra can use for her ability?
