Hi everyone,

So I've often flown Regen Norra (PTL, Tail Gunner, R2-D2, Title, VT), but even with one regen she still goes down fast. Is Dancing Norra (PTL, Kyle, BB-8, Title, EU) more viable?

Thanks,

Liam

Both have their uses. Regen is fairly solid in the 1v1 scenario. Some arch dodgers can give her trouble, but if you select your targets well, and try and hold Norra for end game she can out last a lot of single ships by kiting them in her rear arc. Dancing Norra is probably better early game avoiding arcs and doing a little bit more consistent damage and can slide in to rng 1 unexpectedly. Dancing Norra is also better at bouncing through rocks and adjusting to avoid arcs during the early game, making your opponent split fire or ignore her for a different target they can focus.

If you're running tank Norra, 3p0 is way more useful than the Tail Gunner. Tank Norra basically says "Do at least 4 damage every turn or you won't kill me" and many ships in the game simply can't do that. For reference, the 4 damage comes from, 3p0 auto evades 1 by guessing 0, her pilot ability adds an evade and you regen 1 with R2. You could also potentially get the sencario where 3p0 guesses 0 and you roll a focus, in which case she'll dodge 3 and regen 1, so unless you did 5 damage she shrugs it off.

to put it simply, killing Tank Norra with only 1 ship is mathematically impossible for most ships in the game, so her surviving until that point is a pretty reasonable win condition to shoot for. Be warned though, people hate Norra and will try to kill the hell out of her. That being said, Norra is the Queen and if you try to kill her, you need to not fail or you'll get zero vps.

Dancing even without EU works great, too. Just have a ship nearby with Jan (Shara or Lowhrickk) and you'll still evade 3 on a good day.

Ran that Norra the other night survived 4 fully modded proton torps (could easily have avoided being shot at by all 4 was just seeing if i could live) and still won with her at 1 hull and 2 shields. She was paired with Dash. I have yet to try the "Dancing" version.
