Has anyone tried Norra Rey list Tempted to get HotR to try one out as I'm still looking for my regionals list

I have! I'm not great player, but Norra felt like a weak point, even with some of the popular builds: BB8/Push jankery, as well as R2D2 Regen. Rey/Finn/Kanan/New Title is a monster, and I've been looking for its escort. Really working on trying to get Norra to work, let me know if you do it! In my experience, it definitely has punch, but even with R2D2, Norra is highly fragile.

honestly, agreed

there's a reason I harp on Biggs and it's because concentrated fire will ruin your 1 agility ass

Biggs makes it far easier to take norra into the late game, where ideally they're'll be less ships and r2-d2's regen will make you almost impossible to kill

traditionally, if you want a wingman with wing span but don't have Biggs, you default to Miranda (faster, TLT gives more coverage than aux arc; can SLAM out of dodge and even drop bombs on pursuers)

Miranda was always a boss, but after taking 2nd place (or hitting the final table) at worlds this fact should be more obvious

ARCs are bad in a 2ship matchup. If you dont have biggs guarding them or 2-3 other just as deadly or annoying ships, norra will just fold.

I'm running the same Rey with:

Lothal Rebel

FCS

Auto Blaster

Hera

Chopper

99 points overall. Works much like Dash and Lothal. Lothal is such a huge threat and has so many hitpoints that it is usualy the priority target leaving Dash/Rey to get some kills. Also makes a great blocker.

I think Elusiveness is good on Rey if she has Kanan, because there's a ton of opportunities to clear stress. Inertial Dampeners is stress-free as well thanks to Kanan.

Rey (57) YT-1300 (45) , Elusiveness (2), Finn (5), Kanan Jarrus (3), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1), Smuggling Compartment (0), Inertial Dampeners (1)

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

I'm flying her with Rey. She's y preferred wingman as she can take some punishment, and if they want to shoot her, Rey is lasting until the end game.

It's a tough choice. I don't think Miranda has the damage output to go with Rey really, and Poe can be burnt down fairly easily.

I think that's he overall weakness for Rey, finding her a suitable wingmate.

No, it's not. ID trigger stress after Kanan triggers, so he can't clear the stress.

I've flown Rey a few times, once with BB-8 Poe and once with a Lothal Rebel. Rey is very strong, but those 2 wingmates didn't hold up in the games I played. Norra and Miranda were two I was considering, with me leaning towards Miranda because of how good she is at maintaining distance and plinking. I am also considering just slapping in 3 Z-95's or 2 Z's and an Attack Shuttle though, to give the list some jousting teeth.

I fly her with Engine Upgrade.

The only Rey build worth flying, IMO, is Rey, VI, EU, Finn, Kanan, Sloop. I guess you could swap Finn for Gunner.

Otherwise, fly old fat Han. We saw yesterday that he's still got it.

Burnout SLAM.

What's that? You did a 3-bank expecting to use the title to turn 180 and have them in arc? They moved in a way that you hadn't anticipated and they now have you in a killbox instead? Burnout SLAM! Now use the title to 3-SLoop. You can't fire this round, but if you are out of their arcs neither can they. And look(!) they are out of position for next round.

If you did a 4 straight, could you burnout SLAM and do a second 4 straight?

Yes. Or you can SLAM a 4-K.

Having played Ghost Dash, I can vouch for how successful it is and I think Rey can potentially be even better than Dash. Dash has 2 main weaknesses which are his PS7 which makes him weak vs Aces and his doughnut hole.

Rey fixes both problems. While she cannot quite match the firepower of the HLC out of arc, she is even stronger in arc and with VI to push her to PS10, she will rock.

I love flying Super Rey!

I like flying Norra too and the idea of landing two 5 Die Attacks sounds fun! But I'm wary of Norra on her own as others have pointed out.

What does a 41 point Miranda build look like?

Miranda 29pts

TLT - 6pts

Advanced Slam - 2pts

Conner Net? Extra Munitions? What to do with the last 4 points?

Have you tried the all-new Poe in the role? PS9 with Lone Wolf AT, R5P9 and Pattern Analyser is a great great ship. Opening up his T-rolls and making him even more tanky has really got me interested in him again.

Miranda was always a boss, but after taking 2nd place (or hitting the final table) at worlds this fact should be more obvious

A Dash/Miranda list has been the king of our meta in Atlanta since Wave 8 dropped.

Going to try this when I get the chance:

Norra Wexley (41) - ARC-170

Push The Limit (3), Nien Nunb (1), R2-D2 (4), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

Rey (59) - YT-1300

Veteran Instincts (1), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

I'll let you know how it goes.

The combo name sounds extremely similar to NORAD. Anybody for watching Santa?

I've been playing with Rey & Miranda build.

Rey with Adapt, Finn, Kannan, EU and ML (S-loop) and Miranda, TLT, EA, HM and Long Range Scanner.

Miranda hits hard with 5 dices HM with no evade tokens.

I have mixed feelings on Rey. It is good to have a MF back in the game. Not sure if better or worst then Fat Han...it is different It plays similar to Agressor. Point main arc toward enemy and Rey/Finn combo will work fine.

Not sure on the EU on Rey. I'll maybe drop it for Smuggler Compartment (with Initial dampeners) and VI and add C-3PO to Miranda (or an extra Plasma Torp).

Never tried Nora, yet. So can't say much about it.

EDIT:

Played against a Z-Warm, 3xTLT+Thane, Fenn+Teroch and Party Bus, and 3x"Crack" Defenders.

Have some bad luck and bad play against Defenders but the general felling is that Rey will hold..

Also used Bomber Miranda...but it does not suit my play style.

I dont think Norra can perform her best alongside Rey, Norra is squishy so she needs other "viable targets" around to draw fire off of her and/or block the opposition from getting arc on her or fully modifying their attacks against her, hide her deep in your territory in a 3-4 ship list.

Most opponents i've faced so far loathe to dump shots into Rey with her ability to pull out 2-3 evades which means Nora is the natural initial target.

I am flying Rey with

PS 9 Poe, Black One Title, PTL, Auto Thrusters, Sensor Cluster, R2-D2

Between Poe's ability, Sensor Cluster and Auto thrusters you should be able to dodge 2 hits a turn, with R2 he should be difficult to bring down quickly.

I like your Poe build.

Does it hold against Defenders? Does he punch trough a token up defender?

I've also consider VCX Kannan with Rey (and replace him with Ezra Crew...to abuse S-loop and 3/4 K-Turn).
