ARC-Bigg70 or Biggs Mama

By Maarkean, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Norra Wexley

  • Push the Limits
  • R5-P9
  • Vector Thrusters
  • Alliance Overhaul
  • Kyle Katarn

Shara Bey

  • Draw Their Fire
  • R2-D2
  • Nien Nunb
  • Alliance Overhaul

Biggs Darklighter

  • R4-D6
  • Integrated Astromech

I played around with this last night. Surprisingly effective. Between R2-D6 and Draw Their Fire it's really unlikely to do more than two damage to Biggs per shot. With Integrated Astromech that means you need to shoot at Biggs a minimum of three times. This can keep him alive for a few rounds.

Shara and Norra work very well together to give Norra a powerful offense. Consistent 4 hits. Once Biggs is dead, they can still dish out the damage while recovering some that they take thanks to the droids. Kyle helps keep R5-P9 triggering and with Nien, R2-D2 has lots of green options. In fact, with her four straight now being green when Shara gets in danger she can run away pretty easily. If she can't get away, she can at least gain some distance, give a target lock for Norra to use and fire out of her rear arc at her pursuers.

Take R5 Astromech so you get something out of that one point for the droid. R4 is another dood option.

Pretty sure it's supposed to be R4-D6.

Having played a R4-D6 Biggs, Draw Their Fire Shara+R2-D2 and Nora I can confirm Biggs stays around much longer than you'd expect.

I think this list should be renamed "who is the daddy?"

Yep, was supposed to be R4-D6. Unless it's Artoo or BB-2 I always get the names muddled around. Fixed now.
