Hey guys,

Not the most original list, but I managed to grab a second ARC-170 in a Black Friday sale for about £5. I've recently had a really fun time playing Biggs, Shara and Norra in the following list:

Norra Wexley (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Tail Gunner (2)
R2-D2 (4)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Shara Bey (28)
Adaptability (0)
Weapons Engineer (3)
R7-T1 (3)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R4-D6 (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Total: 100

Norra has been a late-game monster in every game so far thanks to R2-D2 and her ability paired with Tail Gunner.

Shara with Weapons Engineer has proven extremely useful, particularly to Norra (who can also work independently with PTL, should Shara die early). R7-T1 provides an unexpected boost (no pun intended) in maneuverability while also aquiring multiple locks if necessary.

Biggs... well, he's Biggs. Nuff said. He flies alongside Shara, with Norra lurking in the back.



Is Adaptability the right call on Shara? I've been running her as a 5 so that she plays well with Biggs and doesn't get in his way, but I feel like the EPT could be doing more for her. I realise the points are tight as it is, but honeslty, with R7-T1 I haven't been having much trouble keeping her within range 1-2 of Biggs and Norra for target lock sharing. So that's 2 points leeway right there.

Any recommendations for an EPT?

I use Draw Their Fire on her, so she puts her shields to use to keep Biggs alive longer. Works great, Biggs never has to ditch his droid from a crit. Could also drop R7-T1 and Vectored thrusters for BB8 and PTL.

ptl bb-8 so you can target-lock while bumping into the enemy and then let norra use your TL because **** it you're not shooting anyway

edit: also don't waste time with weapon's engineer, it does absolutely nothing

It seems we have a suitable replacement build emerging already!

Unless I'm mistaken, this also marks the historic day where the fabled fickle appears on one of my threads! ;)

Draw Their Fire is interesting.. haven't seen it played very much. But I can see how it could be handy in this build.

I will probably try both and see which suits me better - thanks!
