Triarchy

By wurms, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Triarchy (from the Greek τρι- "three" and ἄρχω arch, "to rule")

A Three Arc List

Something I am going to have to try.

Basic Norra for damage and regen with R2D2

Thane doesnt need much, so just R3A2 for control element. He attacks last in squad, so he gets free actions as long as he is not attacked. And if he is attacked, then they arent shooting your more expensive and deadlier Arcs.

Shara, with Wingman/Katarn in the new FAQ, will clear Norra's stress, giving Shara a focus via Katarn, and her action is a TL. Norra's dial is wide open next round.

Norra shoots first, if she needs rerolls, use Sharas TL, if not, then Shara can use it with her focus for a full modded shot.

Thane will also have a full modded shot if he is not the one attacked. And if he is, then same as before, at least they are shooting your expensive ships!

Shara, with Wingman/Katarn in the new FAQ, will clear Norra's stress, giving Shara a focus via Katarn, and her action is a TL. Norra's dial is wide open next round.

Pretty sure Wingman/Katarn is going to be overturned at some point; the wording on the cards doesn't actually support it. Also, Norra's dial can be as wide open as you want, but if you're trying to regen with R2-D2 you still "only" have 6 options.

I really like the potential of M9-G8 and Weapon's Engineer. Makes the most sense to put it on Thane. Gives you a lot of options in terms of boosting either your own attacks (put a TL on an ally) or one or more enemies won't be able to punch as hard (put TL on enemy)

Norra w/ PTL, title & R2D2 = 36

Thane w/ M9G8, title & weapon engineer = 32

Braylen w/ R3-A2 & title = 27

95

You still have 5 points to take any crew you prefer (C3P0 on Norra and a Tailgunner on Braylen for example).

Don't see why that would be overturned. They made it rather explicit that that's how it works. And it makes logical sense that the Wingman ship is removing the stress. Kyle doesn't state that you have to remove stress from yourself at all, just that "you" (the ship he's on) has to remove stress.

So it pans out. The only thing they could do to be more specific is to errata Wingman and drop the word "you" on there, but it's not really necessary until we start to see "global" upgrades in X-Wing. Otherwise, it stands to reason that "you" (the ship) are directly using the upgrades attached.
