AAAARC Snap shot ridiculousness

By Admiral Deathrain, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking through some meta wing entries I saw that Snap Shots most successful aplication so far has been a Norra Wexley + 3 A-Wing list. The one in question used Tail Gunner on Norra, but I thought - hey, Operations Specialist is ridiculous with Snap Shot, why not put that in her crew slot. After some building around I saw that it didn't quite fit how I'd like it to, but giving Norra Snap Shot would.

I do not think OpSpec is enough to activate her ability late game even with Snap Shot, though. Might be worth a try anyways. Other ideas would be to make her a BB-8 ballerina since she is so unlikely to survive long enough to benefit from her regen and giving the GSPs Juke, or downgrading one of them to Snap Shot Sabine in a TIE Fighter to give the others Juke and also give Norra PTL.

Is this concept worth being dug up again?

Oh give the GSPs Juke, its such a wonderful combo!

I think that Norra is very nice, though like you say, late game is more iffy. I'd give the alternate suggestion of Thane w/ Weapons Engineer and M9-G8: you lock two of the GSPs to give them rerolls on their Snap Shots

Snap + Juke is the way to go with the A-Wings. There are several flavors that work really well. My favorite so far is running Jess w/ Snap along with two Snap Greens and Braylen following behind with Op Spec and StressBot.

I do want to stick with Norra, just because all problems she has are also intrinsic to the other ARCs and her ability allows her to mitigate them somewhat. Either way, OpSpec is amazing with Snap Shot (even when they are Juked), so I'd also want to keep that. here is what I am thinking pealing away from the Norra has to regen mindset:

BB-8 Norra LOVES Engine Upgrade, just in case she needs to pull off some maneuvering tricks. Perhaps downgrade one of the GSP's to a Bandit or prototype blocker, or throw Rex in for cheap to draw some fire

Gah, Rex almost saves enough points to give Autothrusters to the A-Wings along with that EU. Nothing more frustrating than 1 point overfills...

Works like a charm with cheaper supports and Autothrusters...

EDIT: Just realized this is old news for Admiral Deathrain...

If you really want ARC in your list I'd definitely take Braylen for UniPS and threat of stress and drop Biggs for a third Green Sqd and some Autothrusters. Biggs is dead weight and a point sink. Braylen can and will eat the alpha strike alone and then it's A-wing superiority time...

Haha, we have come full circle! I actualy made this thread after that pne because of what I found researching Snap Shots usage history.
