Great Action Economy Norra Build

By SixStringDreams, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm curious if there are any changes I should make to this build. I have had some success and some late game failures with this list, but I love the way they all fly together.

Norra Wexley

PTL

BB-8

Kyle Katarn

Vectored Thrusters

Title

Keyan Farlander

Rage

Title(allowing crew)

Inspiring Recruit

Blue Squadron Pilot

Mangler Cannon

Title

Jan Ors

I fly them in staggered formation with the blue Squadron Pilot in the front and Norra in the back. For Norra I like to move as follows:

Reveal Green Maneuver, BB8 triggers free barrel roll, PTL focus, Jan Ors changes to evade, add stress from PTL, complete green maneuver and remove stress, Kyle Katarn assigns focus, final action target lock if available. So Norra is sitting pretty with evade, focus, and TL. This is great because she can add a result by burning her lock if she needs on offense or defense. She's more durable than she looks with that evade as well. Next is keyan who rages when in attack range and grabs a focus, depending on if you chose to take an evade with Norra you may take one with keyan instead via Jan Ors. Finally the blue squadron I use as a blocker and Cannon fodder. Norra can potentially throw 5 hits if the TL is burned on offense while shooting from the front. She more than often gets 4 hits regardless when attacking head on. And if you suspect someone flanking your formation Notra shoots out the auxiliary and you do a 2k turn with both B wings. Keyan spends stress as focus and the other B throws mangler at people.

Anything you guys would change or add to my strategy? I'm only about 2 months in playing x wing, but I love talking strategy and learning new things with every game I play.

Misspelled a word

Maybe Engines on Norra.

For the price of the Bwing you can have Jess Pava with a droid, like M9G8 to let Norra get rerolls on her attack.

@wurms nailed it.

If you want to keep the 2nd B-wing, lose the Mangler and use the points you saved to give Norra the Engine Upgrade. If you have any points after that, B-wings really like Fire Control system.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give the changes a try and let you guys know how they turned out.
