Uwing, ARC and T70 list

By arsuf476, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So working on a list for a local tourney, I have a limited collection but this is what I came up with so far:

Norra Wexley

PtL

R2-D2

Alliance Overhaul

Cassian Andor

Sensor Jammer

Bohdi Rook

Pivot Wing

Snap Wexley

R2-F2

Integrated Astromech

Concept run snap as interference helping to protect Norra, figure they will ignore Cassian until Norra is dead, thinking of dropping Snap for Jess and throwing Baze on Cassian to help his ability to hit. I could also sub out the T-70 for a Bwing, but kinda like the defense dice of the T70. Still pretty new to this game, but what are your thoughts?

For a limited collection this is a rather solid list.

I think you have a wise thought to switch Snap for Jess. If you put M9-G8 on her, she can lock Norra to give her mini-predator, which is valuable considering Norra wants to spend her lock for the extra eye. If you have the points, Pattern Analyzer ups her utility.

I would strongly advise putting a crew on Norra. Tail Gunner is very valuable for offense, C-3PO would greatly increase her staying power, Kyle Katarn paired with VT provides great action economy.

I like the idea of using Cassian a lot. It frees up Norra's dial which is quite valuable. That being said, the U-Wing is not a strong ship in and of itself; it is an obvious lower priority, so you'll need to use it less as a gun and more as a stick to trip people up.

I might build something like this:

Norra

PTL

R2-D2

C-3PO

Title

Jess Pava

Pattern Analyzer

M9-G8

Integrated Astromech

Cassian Andor

Collision Detector

Hera Syndulla

Wired

Pivot Wing

However, downgrading Cassian to a blocking Heff, or a different ship in total (perhaps Snap Wexley: VI, R2 Astromech, Primed Thrusters, Black One, IA), could also work well.

Not a bad list for limited. Greebwahn has good advice above. M9G8 is AWESOME, especially on Jess, and makes Norra hit super hard. I doubt you have C-3PO right now, and maybe not the ghost either.

Based on what you seem to have: Core Set, Arc-170, U-wing, Heroes of Resistance, and an Awing?

Jess Pava (25) w/ M9-G8 (3) , Integrated Astromech (0)

Cassian Andor (27) w/ Trick Shot (0) , Sensor Jammer (4) , Inspiring Recruit (1)

Norra Wexley (29) w/ Push the Limit (3) , Rey (2) , R2-D2 (4) , Vectored Thrusters (2) , Alliance Overhaul (0)

Total: 100

Cassian, with just Draw Their Fire and Wookie Commandos is 29pts and really great support to absorb crits and always have offensive mods.

If you have the wookie gunship, I would use Lowhhrick in place of cassian. Just the wookie is worth the purchase and you would have a really solid list.

Jess Pava (25) w/ M9-G8 (3) , Integrated Astromech (0)

Norra Wexley (29) w/ Push the Limit (3) , Tail Gunner (2) , R2-D2 (4) , Vectored Thrusters (2) , Alliance Overhaul (0)

Lowhhrick (28) w/ Trick Shot (0) , Rey (2) , Tactician (2)

Total: 100

Good luck!

I ran the list in a few variations tonight and I ended up wanting to field:

Jess Pava (25) w/ M9-G8 (3) , Integrated Astromech (0)

Norra Wexley (29) w/ Push the Limit (3) , Tail Gunner (2) , R2-D2 (4) , Vectored Thrusters (2) , Alliance Overhaul (0)

I am struggling on how to field Cassian, I am just not getting the use out of him. I like the idea of Lowhhrick and might pick him up. I really want to make the U wing work but am thinking Bohdi with sensor jammer, recon specialist and title might work if I don't pick up the gunship.

Thanks for the advice.

I understand that you probably don’t have all the cards but here is the list I would build with my collection.

ARC U-Wing T-70 ( 100 )

Thane Kyrell — ARC-170 26
Weapons Engineer 3
M9-G8 3
Alliance Overhaul 0
Ship Total: 32
Poe Dameron (PS9) — T-70 X-Wing 33
Intensity 2
R2-D2 4
Primed Thrusters 1
Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 42
Blue Squadron Pathfinder — U-Wing 23
Fire-Control System 2
Wookiee Commandos 1
Pivot Wing 0
Ship Total: 26

M9-G8 is good, but Weapons Engineer makes it awesome. You can keep a target lock on the enemy and a friendly ship to allow your team mates to refill as well. I like to keep Poe locked so he gets those tasty refills on the first attack.
