Norra/Miranda/Ahsoka aka Wilson Phillips

By enigmahfc, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have no idea why this list has been really sticking with me, but there we have it. I have not yet had a chance to play it, and I don't normally play Rebels so I'm just fiddling about with things.

Tell me why this is bad. Or on the off-chance its good, let me know that too.

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Chewbacca (4)

Norra Wexley (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Nien Nunb (1)
R2-D2 (4)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Ahsoka Tano (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Rey (2)
Captured TIE (1)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Total: 100

I don't always fly a muntion-less Miranda, but when I do I use RecSpec. If you use RecSpec on Miranda, you can afford Tail Gunner on Norra. Go faster or hit harder? You decide.

I would put C-3PO on Miranda for 2 guaranteed damage mitigation. Again this allows you to upgrade Norra to a Tailgunner.

since I'm not fimiliar with c-3po how does he guarantee 2 damage mitigation.

Thanks

C-3PO strategy in a nutshell: guess 0 Evades. If you roll an Evade, then that Evade mitigates 1 damage. If you roll a blank or Focus, then C-3PO adds an Evade result (mitigating 1 damage.) So if you guess 0 on a 1 Agility ship, it's pretty much a guaranteed Evade once per round for 3 points. Miranda mitigates 1 more damage per round via regen.

Chewie instead of C-3PO on Miranda is interesting though. It makes her better able to recover from the sort of damage spikes that she is likely to take in the early game. Chewie is worth about 3 uses of C-3PO but you can use him all in one round. C-3PO makes Miranda better in the late game, Chewie makes it more likely that she makes it to the late game. Chewie can also be saved to discard nasty crits.

I always have more luck with using Chewie than 3PO. Like you dais, avoids the damage spike and avoids one horrible crit.

I'm may replace him with extra munitions and seismic charges though

My favorite build for Norra is as follows

Mrs. Wexley

Expertise

BB-8

C3-PO

Overhaul

This comes out to one point less than where you have her at and makes her super agile and hit incredibly hard AND provides some damage mitigation. Being able to barrel roll before a 1 bank gives her very tight maneuvering and using her ability to spend a TL for a free hit is also great. (Spend to add a focus result, Expertise changes all focus results to hits.)

I don't know where you would wanna put that last point but I really like this list. Norra/Miranda who will probably mitigate a lot of damage and Ahsoka who will almost always get the first shot.
