Cloud City Enforcers

By Browncoat50, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm trying out a new team build using Lando and Norra Wexley. I don't have experimental interface or push the limit in my collection so I'm testing this to see how well it works.

Norra Wexley:

Marksmanship (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Tail Gunner (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Lando Calrissian:

Veteran Instincts (1)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Gunner (5)
Recon Specialist (3)
Millennium Falcon (Evade) (1)

The Falcon and the arc have similar green maneuvers so I thought nien nunb could sit this one out. I only put the title on Lando to round out that last point. I could also run tread tracers instead. I figure that when possible I maneuver Norra, use Marksmanship, then after Lando completes a green maneuver take a target lock to maximize her attack. Gunner on Lando helps utilize the double focus if need be.

May not be the most competitive, but may make for a fun casual game. Any thoughts?

Marksmanship doesn't make a lot of sense on Norra. If Lando dies first, then you have 3 points in an EPT competing for an Action with Norra's pilot ability, which requires Target Lock. If you want a better upgrade along the same lines as Marksmanship, use Expertise.

Lando could do without the Shield Upgrade. Drop it and change RecSpec to Hotshot Copilot. That's a fun combo with Gunner. Use it to strip tokens, opening the enemy up for more damage. I would also change Lando's EPT. In this list you could benefit from having Lando and Norra at the same pilot skill. Change his EPT to Predator if you can find the points, that will help with the Hotshot/Gunner combo. You can reroll a hit to help miss the first attack on purpose, and reroll blanks on the second attack to get more paint.

I can do the predator change, but I have not picked up heroes of the resistance yet. I'm hoping to win it at my shops next tournament. I thought about a wired Nora with target Astromech, but I'd rather have R2.
