So, how is the ARC?

By migs6000, in X-Wing

Been wanting to get back to flying Rebels and I'm wondering if the new ship is good? Would it help in a tournament setting?

Beatiful model

Works fine if

1. Biggs

2. R2d2 ptl tailgunner VTs norra

3. Any other ARC uses stress dealing stuff like r3a2 tactician/gunner

2 dice aux arc primary is crap without norra + tailgunner or stress

Only really sucks v torp scouts. Everything else is fair game

I just bought 2 (had to have 2 seismic torpedoes!), so I'll have a more concrete answer in a week or so.

...but I also just got home with 2 SFs, 2 Protectorates, and a Shadow Caster, so depending on which I play first, the review may be postponed.

Oh bit more detail

Reasob 2 die aux arc sucks even with tg is evade tokens already cancel half potential damage

Which is why you need stress and/or norra ability with TG


Once you got those you can grind down anything

Just expect long lonh LONG games against x7 defenders. Its a real **** show slap fight watching no offensive mods (stressed defenders) go up against 2 dice aux arcs trying to hit through x7 evades. Norra will always win the 1v1, just gotta make sure you get there before time is called

I'll probably pick it up soon. Probably run Norra with Biggs and maybe Wes?

Awful

Just ordered one today! Can't wait. Now I need U wing and Heroes of the Resistance to start shipping!

Would Luke make a good crew member or Norra? Granted, expensive, but changing that focus to a hit automatically is a plus.

No

Because luke isnt automatic, you have to miss

Also 7 points. Tg much more cost effective

I ran Norra, Shara and Biggs for a couple of games tonight. Love them, and I don't care what anybody else says.

still waiting for my flgs to get them in....

I mostly want my **** SFs though. And seismic torps so i can trollolol a certain Dash player.

I bought 2 Arc's, not played them yetseem to have similar dials to K and Y wing, so trying them out on paper as combos.

Don't forget the Alliance overhaul changes the firing spec, think it's 3 dice forwards and tail gunner can change a dice

Color me unimpressed. With 1 AG, they're very expensive Tractor-bait. Worst of all, they compete with an already overstuffed point range in the Rebel list.

aux arc is still 2 dice. Free mods from title are very much appreciated, but 2 dice aren't hitting through evade tokens no way no how

you're using the aux arc literally all the time outside the first pass, which is why you want Norra + TG or stress mechanics

after a month of play, I've k-turned absolutely literally 3 times. I counted, because there were very few instances during which it was the right choice

Norra herself has absolutely never k-turned

see condition #1 (Biggs)

Well, the model is the most gorgeous one FFG has done yet (in my opinion of course). As for how it plays?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but time will tell.

Norra is really strong, but is very vulnerable to stress mechanics. Both Slicer Tools, to hurt her when she PTLs, and weaponized stress mechanics can really hinder her.

Eh you need 6 slicers to get through to her

Honestly never cared when facing them

Threepio or Tail Gunner?

I find myself running her alongside Shara with Wingman. Surprisingly effective.

wait till Cassian Andor

he's just better because his wings can move!

Norra is great. She pretty much single handedly took out a pair Brobots last night.

Okay, so this ARC thing has me all mixed up. I only have one. How should I build it?

You want stresshog2.0 or a late game tank monster?

Norra Wexley: PTL, R2-D2, Vectored Thrusters, Tail Gunner, Alliance Overhaul = 40 pts

This is your powerhouse.

Braylen Stramm: R3-A2, Vectored Thrusters, Gunner/Tactician, Alliance Overhaul = 31/34 pts.

This is your supportive stresshog.
