Rey, Chewie and/or Norra Builds

By CubsFanSean23, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, in preparation for store championships I have flown some scum lists (mostly META versions), a few imperial lists (mostly ones I enjoy as there is no real META lists currently) and so now it's time for Rebel. I fly rebels the least although I have flown Calen's list some (Kanan/Biggs). I am wanting to try out a few more lists that would be viable in this META......I haven't flown the ARC yet and I want to get back into the Falcon since I really haven't flown it since I was a beginner last year. So long story short, what's some good builds to try out in casual play that could lead to a list when Store Champs begin. Thanks in advance.


Any rebel lists are fine, but preferably ones with the Falcon or ARC is what I'm looking for.

My All-time favorite list to fly:

(100)

Lothal Rebel (41) - VCX-100
Fire Control System (2), Dorsal Turret (3), Hera Syndulla (1), "Chopper" (0), Ghost (0)

Norra Wexley (41) - ARC-170
Push The Limit (3), C-3PO (3), R2-D2 (4), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2)

"Zeb" Orrelios (18) - Attack Shuttle
Phantom (0)

I've been running this with decent success.

(100)

Rey (62) - YT-1300
Expertise (4), Finn (5), Kanan Jarrus (3), Millennium Falcon (1)(sloop), Engine Upgrade (4)

Norra Wexley (38) - ARC-170
Push The Limit (3), Tail Gunner (2), R2-D2 (4), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Just curious, which ship do your opponents tend to go after? Rebel Regen in the end game *sucks* but keeping Rey alive too long is a nightmare.

I haven't had the chance but I'd love to this:

ARC-170: · Norra Wexley (29)
Push The Limit (3)
· BB-8 (2)
Tail Gunner (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
YT-1300: · Chewbacca (42)
Rage (1)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
TIE Fighter: · Ahsoka Tano (17)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
· Captured TIE (1)
· Sabine's Masterpiece (1)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

My opponents tend to go for Rey first which tends to be he mistake. Nora is still a formidable offensive threat and plus the regen she is a nightmare as you said. I retooled this list to include a VI Rey and put VT on Nora

I appreciate all of these and am totally for flying both ships together. I am also for flying them separate (e.g. other Norra/ARC builds w/o the Falcon and other Falcon builds without the ARC)...........just wanting to try out the ships with whatever support. I like the both ideas and am gonna try at least one......

My Norra build above works with Expertise Rey as well.

Norra Wexley (41)
- Push the Limit
- C-3PO
- R2-D2
- Alliance Overhaul
- Vectored Thrusters

Rey (59)
- Expertise
- Finn
- Kanan Jarrus
- New Falcon title
- Smuggling Compartment
- Burnout SLAM

You could drop SLAM for an initiative bid if you wanted to. I don't think this list works quite as well as with the Ghost/shuttle, because you lose the double-attack from the Ghost and an extra ship for the end game. But it's two really strong pilots loaded out.

Played against a list very similar to this except Norra had Kanaan in place of Tail Gunner. The opposing player was in my opinion, a bit better Than Me. I had Quickdraw, Backdraft, and The Inquisitor. Won 2 Games against him. The first I had Quickdraw left and the second all survived and I took the Field. My strategy in both was to take out Norra first with concentrated fire.

I really like this build. I find that Norra really needs C-3PO if you are running her without Biggs, otherwise she is too easy to burn down quickly leaving Rey to struggle on alone.

I play with a lot of Ordnance in my area so I might be tempted to replace VTs and BO-SLAM with Countermeasures on Rey but it only helps once.

Norra Wexley (40) Marksmanship + Kyle Katarn + BB-8 + Experimental Interface + Alliance Overhaul
Rey (60) Expertise + Finn + Kanan Jarrus + Smuggling Compartment + Millennium Falcon(HoR) + Tactical Jammer + Burnout Slam

Rey is the standard Expertise Rey, Burnout Slam to get out of dodge if you find your self in a kill box situation.

Norra, Green maneuver, barrel roll experimental into marksmanship, execute green clears stress and gets a focus off Kyle, then target lock. Hits like a TANK, hard to block.

I went 5-1 at CAC.

Thoughts?

It's a great Norra build, for sure. Maximizes actions. I like regen Norra with Rey because she is the obvious threat and should go down quick. Having regen keeps her alive longer. But I can definitely see this having success.

Gonna have to run this sometime when I get enough game to try the Big Base again. Thanks for sharing.
