Evening all fellow plastic pushers.

I would like to pick your minds on following list:

REBEL RUBBLE

99 points


PILOTS

Norra Wexley (44)
ARC-170 (29), R2-D2 (4), Expertise (4), Gunner (5), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Lothal Rebel (43)
VCX-100 (35), Fire-Control System (2), Autoblaster Turret (2), Hera Syndulla (1), Ezra Bridger (3)

Our local store is hosting its very first and very small tournament, aimed on starting and cassual players.

I'm planning to take this to the table next week.

This will be my fist participation and any suggestions are more then welcome.

Kind regards,

Suro

Norra rarely misses completely, so I'd swap Gunner out and use Tail Gunner instead. Use the points to eg get Seismic Torps, or upgrade the Z to an A, or add something to the Lothal. An Ion Turret is entertaining, as are Anti-Pursuit Lasers...

But as a list, Norra really likes having Biggs around otherwise any experienced players will kill her first.

Also, I would change expertise to PTL with Nora. She loves the action economy of barrel rolls and tokens.

99 points

A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2)

Norra Wexley (41)
ARC-170 (29), BB-8 (2), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

This is what I came up with, based on the advice above.

Try it out. Then tweak again. It has promise.

I would give Nora R2-D2 and change engine upgrade to vector thrusters. She needs the regen as she only has one agility. But the rest looks solid!

Normally, I'd use R2D2 and VT but that's with Biggs to allow her to survive into the late game. Without Biggs, she'll be blown up in 3 rounds of shooting at the latest because she can't arc-dodge.

The BB8 plus engine plus Kyle version is much better here: reveal green, barrel roll, boost, move to lose the stress and gain a focus, then Target Lock. Much harder to predict where she will be. I think that I'll need to try her this way too.

Don't run norra without Biggs or higher threat ship. Just don't or it will be focus fired down very soon. And in your list it's obvious to got for Norra first :)
