My Noeggs build

By JarJarBot, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just posting my Noeggs build for any helpful comments, suggestions or ideas.

Nora Wexley- PtL, BB-8, Tail Gunner, Title

Poe Dameron (PS8)- VI, R5-P9, AT

Biggs Darklighter- R4-D6, IA

99/100

The things I'm looking at right now are Nora's crew (thinking about Kyle Katarn), Poe's droid (hot shot copilot is popular in my store so may R2D2?), and the droid on Biggs (R4-D6 could be swapped out). Thanks everyone!

Interesting list indead, i had my approach more on 2 better aces + Tie or A-Wing, but this might be even better.

With Norra, depends what you want. More damage, or to be more tanky.

Tanky route is R2D2 +C3PO. For more damage build Kyle Katarn is nice, for that free focus.

Biggs might get M9G8 droid, to force enemy to reroll or to help with friendly rerolls.

One thing, if you want biggs in, you need to compromise somewere :) Won't get 2 fully loaded out aces with Biggs, but a bit downgradedm might work very good :)

Also you can add Title for Poe :)

So the only thing I would change with your list ( I only fly rebels and I love Arcs and Poe) would be to change VI on Poe to Adaptability and upgrade BB-8 on Norra to R2-D2. I would do that because I value norra higher than Poe. If you value Poe higher, keep norra as she is, fly Biggs right next to her, and still drop Poe to adaptability and give him pattern analyzer. More action economy for Poe. I disagree with TerTer saying two aces is not possible with Biggs. Two rebel regen aces is still very possible.

Also, don't change droids on Biggs. R4 almost always buys Biggs at least one extra round of bodyguarding. Don't take it off.

What i said was: "Won't get 2 fully loaded out aces with Biggs, but a bit downgradedm might work very good"

So i still say, you can't get 2 fully loaded regen aces with Biggs, you need compromise.

Yes, one or the other ends up a bit short.

R2D2 on Norra means no Autothrusters on Poe or shaving a point by using Adaptability.

But Poe would also like Pattern Analysers and Black One title, so compromises have to be made. I also would favour keeping Norra at full strength, so would a downgrade on Poe to another T70 pilot be worth it?

I understand what you are saying TerTer, I just view "aces" a bit differently. I have always viewed an ace as a ship that can 1v1 most other ships near its point total and come out even or on top. So while the Poe or Norra presented here my have a tough time 1v1 against a decked out Dengar or Dash or Whisper, they can fly with anything in the 35 to 42ish point range.

For now I dropped VI to Adaptability and put Pattern Analyzer on Poe which I liked a lot. Beat a Han Norra list with Poe left neberctaking a hit on him. Han was a Crack Shot, New Title, Gunner, Kanan and EU I believe with a Norra build I kind of forget, I believe the target lock Astro mech that makes you rerolls an attack due, EU and forget the rest. Biggs took plenty of attacks but his mech never triggered. Every time I've used that droid it never procs cause my opponent always throws like hit, hit, crit or something like that, lol.

Fair enough :)

Glad to hear list worked. Want to try it, thinking of it as possible list for sunday tournament :D As i quit like it too. :)
Also as Biggs droid, look at it as 1HP for 1pt if you don't trigger it.
Also, you can try dropping AT from Poe and VI for Adaptivity, so you can get R2D2 on Norra (as I start to value Norra more, that Poe like Fozzyman, but time will tell) and you can still get Pattern Analyzers for Poe i think, if i did the math correct :)
