Double ARC Regen

By Wraithguard, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys,

some of my strongest lists have involved double ARC-170s, and here is my latest take on it. It puts more focus(pun intended) on damage mitigation than my other builds. After the first turn Norra would be capable of generating 3 focus tokens/turn. 1 exchanged for a dodge token via Jan Ors, 1 to keep and 1 for use on R5-P9 at the end of the turn. Norra will also have a 4 dice primary with 3/4 dice re-rolling via Rage. All this enables Shara to use her own target lock and focus. Meaning both ARCs will have full dice mods and full regen capabilities each turn. The shield upgrade and EMP device are potential place-holders.

Shara can also be switched out for Miranda with a TLT setup.

Here is the list:

Shara Bey:

R2-D2 / Push the Limit / Jan Ors / Alliance Overhaul

Norra Wexley:

R5-P9 / Rage / Kyle Katarn / Alliance Overhaul / Shield Upgrade

Ahsoka Tano:

Veteran Instincts / Sabine's Masterpiece / Captured TIE / EMP Device / Inspiring Recruit

total: 100pts

let me know what you think!

I hate to burst your bubble, but Norra will only be getting 2 focus tokens. You will remove a stress via green, kyle will provide a focus, and inspiring recruit will pull a second stress off - but kyle doesn't activate. Then she takes a TL for her action, and Ashoka grants her rage for a focus and rerolls... I suppose you could use Shara's TL so you could take a focus to turn into an evade.

Though may I suggest swap R2D2 and R5P9, putting Recon on Shara so she can F for two tokens. The extra point is from dropping SU, which allows you to upgrade to PTL on Norra as well.

I could have sworn that Kyle will trigger multiple times if multiple stress tokens are removed. With Rage Norra will be double stressed after turn 1, no?

Yeah you're right. I was confusing how Kanan works with how Inspiring Recruit works. So I was thinking that Ahsoka was removing the second stress.

I am quite literally in awe... That Norra build, combined with an Inspiring Recruit, is glorious.

You could also use Dutch Vander to get the extra action you need, and still be able to attack and stuff with him, but Ahsoka is probably safer

Thank you! Yeah, I have/had a more aggressive version on this list. With this version I'm trying to outlast my opponent.

One thing to consider is pulling the shield upgrade to give your Arc's Vectored Thrusters. May not need to reposition all that often, but it could save you from being targeted in some situations. could be more valuable than negating one damage.
