What's Your Regionals List (and help me tweak/name this)

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

I'm running this:

“Chopper” (57) VCX-100 (37), Accuracy Corrector (3), Autoblaster Turret (2), Proton Torpedoes (4), Extra Munitions (2), Kanan Jarrus (3), Lando Calrissian (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Norra Wexley (43) ARC-170 (29), R2-D2 (4), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

OR

Hera Syndulla (56) VCX-100 (40), Accuracy Corrector (3), Autoblaster Turret (2), Flechette Torpedoes (2), Kanan Jarrus (3), Lando Calrissian (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Norra Wexley (43) ARC-170 (29), R2-D2 (4), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

I love the combos in this list, I know it's not the best but for me it's just a ton of fun to play. I'm having trouble deciding what Ghost build though.

Chopper's advantage is that he gets two 4 attack shots out the butt with his Proton Torps, but he's a lower pilot skill and has less maneuverability than Hera.

Besides high PS, Hera is real maneuverable for dodging blocks in a pinch, but only one torpedo for the back.

So, two questions:

1) Which Ghost build should I run?

2) What should I name my squad?

This is my first regionals! Very excited!

I love Kanan as a Ghost Pilot. And with Norra as your support ship, his ability will help out a ton. I would also argue against AC in favor of FCS. Ideally you'll be using that big primary weapon of yours on most shots, so having the TL reroll is very important. I know the rationale for wanting the ABT+AC combo for guaranteeing 2 damage, but the math is just not there. Even without a focus (but with a TL), there's a 37% of two hits naturally. With a focus, it jumps up to 74% of two hits. And this is counting crits as blanks. So AC is basically paying 3 points to ensure that 26% of the time you do an extra damage - not really worth it imo.

Since you're using Kanan as a pilot, I would replace his crew self with Recon Spec to give him a second F token. I would upgrade EI to EU, and then drop Lando... Though with HotR coming out soon, I would add Rey to provide even more focus tokens for the first few rounds of combat, so you'll end up with 3 each round, 2 for defense and 1 for his attack. I'm not entirely sure I'd prefer EU on Norra over VT, but that's a choice I'll leave for you to decide.

I agree with the above. Norra is pretty squishy, and Kanan (pilot) can help with that. Plus, Kanan crew might not be ideal -- if I recall correctly, the ship that actually clears the stress is the one with Kanan on board, so Kyle won't trigger if you use it on Norra.

As for the name...I'm thinking "EAT MY FOUR HITS *****" but that's...preliminary ;P

Wait until you can add Finn and gunner and fire control. Geeeeez. Aces are in trouble.

Hmmmmm.... I'm definitely with you on the FCS thing, I'll switch to it. I'm still thinking I want Kanaan as crew instead of pilot though, but I'll try it out for sure. I love love love clearing stress with the Ghost's 2 hard turn, or using Kanaan to clear it on Norra.

Plus, Having Hera for PS 7 matches Norra's PS so I can choose who to move first.
