So yeah, providing theres no Sabine nerf K-Wing Bombers are still super powerful. Ahsoka and Norra fly each others wing with Norra saving up some Focus Tokens and Ahsoka letting her double action for her Focus/TL to put out some damage/save focus for defense. The Warden goes on his own to make the opposition make a choice. If he can stay at range and TLT then great, then can set up to Slam in and Bomb.

The other lists are here

I don't see Scavenger Crane being that effective on Ashoka, unless you're planning to not attack with her until both of your ships are gone. In a tournament setting, you're bound to encounter other Aces (Poe, Fel, RAC + VI). I would probably go with EMP device to help set up your K-Wing's bombs.

I would also put the Thermals on the K-Wing if you decide against Scavenger Crane on Ashoka.

VI on Norra doesn't make sense to me either, especially without Vectored Thrusters to reposition. In my experience, PtL is really the best EP on Norra, unless you go Expertise/Tail Gunner.

Either way, looks like a lot of fun. Norra is great for the end game. She's likely to be targeted first, so that should give you an advantage on when/where to plant your bombs.

Well that's the thing. Instead of PTL, she gets her second action from Ahsoka and Rey is there stacking up Focus just incase she cant so I'm free to boost her PS and spend the points elsewhere.

And the Crane is as much to recover Captured TIE as it is to recover the bombs once I kill their ps9 ace etc.

I didn't think about using the Crane to recover Captured TIE. That's interesting, but that late in the game, I'm uncertain what the purpose is of keeping Ashoka from firing as she is likely to have already lost her bomb.

Make sense to give Norra an action through Ahsoka, but I would want the ability to reposition with vectored thrusters. PTL would allow you to focus, target lock, and barrel roll in one turn.

Nathan Eide loses the Captured Tie very quickly in his Ahsoka/Biggs/Corran list so she can fire immediately, then is guaranteed to have it back when Biggs dies.

@Sonikgav - I don't know much about Imps or Scum, but I do know Norra will get focused down very quickly in this list. She certainly wouldn't survive to be the end-game ship which she needs to be.

Makes total sense in that build. Biggs takes the damage, allowing her to fire, then gets it back after Biggs dies. It's a pretty great use of those cards. Without Biggs taking the heat, I'm not sure how viable it is as a strategy. Not saying it can't work, but I'm just not sure it's something you could count on.

Im just tired of every Rebel list revolving around Biggs. I know he is meta for a reason but i kinda wish i had other options than "Drop the K Wing, Fly Biggs" etc.

I only pull out Biggs when I use my B-Wing Swarm. I don't think you should drop the K-Wing for Biggs at all. I'm just not sure it's the best use of Scavenger Crane. But I've never tried it in that way.

Haha, tell me about it. My local group just started a league where you'll play 9 games, each list has to be unique, using unique pilots only once for the entire league session. I'm a Rebel-only player. Try coming up with 8 competitive Rebel lists, since only 1 can have Biggs!

Well then if i was to drop the K to squeeze in Biggs.... hows this? (I know how it is, like a dozen other Ahsoka+Biggs lists with a heavy hitter, usually its Corran)

Seismic's are there purely because i had 4 points spare. Probably wont see alot of use unless there's a perfect cluster of enemies around a rock etc. Could always drop em for Initiative bid.
