Fun Rebel List: Jan and Norra

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Norra/Jan (100)

Norra Wexley (39) - ARC-170
Expertise (4), Tail Gunner (2), R2-D2 (4), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Jan Ors (35) - HWK-290
Adrenaline Rush (1), Twin Laser Turret (6), Kanan Jarrus (3)

Ahsoka Tano (26) - TIE Fighter
Veteran Instincts (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Captured TIE (1), Sabine Wren (2), EMP Device (2), Ion Bombs (2)

Idea is to draw attention towards the HWK and maximize the added focus/additional dice given to Norra from Jan. Ahsoka is there to be a distraction and cause a little havoc.

I could downgrade the HWKs turret to either add the title or upgrade the elite talent.

Switch Adrenaline Rush for Wired.

Was thinking about that initially. Didn't think I could get full use of it offensively, but I forget that also helps when defending. Thanks.

Tried a similar list. But it was

Norra
PtL, Kyle, R2-D2, AO, Vectored Thrusters

Jan Ors
Wired, Ion Turret, Kanan

Ahsoka
Sabine Wren, Sabine's Masterpiece, EMP and Thermal Detonators.

Ahsoka died in the first round of the game. The other two worked really well together. I liked having the Stress from PTL and when I shed it I got a free Focus that was useful for the target lock. What I felt like I was missing was that the HWK would shoot first, then get stress from Norra's shot to boost that. But I'm not giving up PtL for VI. Next up for me is to look at some other ships to add to this list as the Tie is just too fragile for my play style.

I don't see Ahsoka being effective without the Captured TIE and VI. She was pretty much made for that combo. Even then, it can be spotty. I went up against a list that was Fel & Admiral Chiraneau, so the title did nothing for me, and it went down after two rounds.

I've been toying with a similar idea but with something else in place of Ahsoka.

Norra Wexley (38)

PTL, Recon Spec, R5-P9, AO

Jan Ors (34)

TLT, Kannan

Norra can have a TL and two focus tokens for her ability and offense, plus the possibility of an unused token for regen. For the last 28 points I have been wanting to throw in another option who would work well with Jans buff- either VI Jake or M9-g8 Jess. Jan makes arc dodging Jake punchier, or Jess can lock Norra to give her big shot a re-roll.

For those 35 points you are spending on Jan, you could get a TLT Miranda which will probably be better in the long run.
