Rey - Norra!? need defense ideas

By phoosepiffle, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys i've been toying with this build for a few games and it has a seen a decent 5-2 win/loss ratio, what can i do to make it better!?

Norra Wexley Arc-170 (29)

- Expertise (4)
- R2 (4)
- Vectored Thrusters (2)
- Tail Gunner (2)
- Alliance Overhaul title (0)

(41)

Rey Millenium Falcon (45)

- Expertise (4)
- Finn (5)
- Bistan/Tactician (2)
- Millenium Falcon title -180 on a 3 bank (1)
- Smuggling compartment (0)
- Burnout slam (1)

The idea is to have both use a similar ability. Both get to add an additional dice to the main roll. All they need to have is a target lock to be successful. I added the title and burnout slam on the falcon to keep it dodgy in case its stuck in
a bad situation. Only weakness is defense. R2 on norra helps and maneuverability on the falcon helps. But the attack potential is vicious. I was rolling consistant 4 to 5 hit/crits on single ships. Enjoy!

I really like Lando on the Falcon. Sure he might roll blanks some times, but I usually get a focus and the times 2 evades comes up are pure gold. I'd probably put the evade title on the Falcon too, but the one you have on it now would be better for getting Ray and Finn back in the sweet spot so I might just have to try it out. As gold as tail gunner is if you threw in a second tactician on your team it would be nasty. I played Rebel Sympathizer and Rey last week, both with tacticians, and it was nasty.

Ohhh good idea with the double tactician. If i attack the same guy that could be a potential 9 dice damage capability and 2 stresses

Good friend of mine has been kicking butt with the following build:

YT-1300: •Rey (61)
Counter-Measures (3)
•Millennium Falcon (HotR) (1)
Expertise (4)
•Finn (5)
•Kanan Jarrus (3)

ARC-170: •Norra Wexley (39)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Push the Limit (3)
•C-3PO (3)
•R2-D2 (4)

Total: 100/100

Kanan is great because your sloop is now white, which is freak*** amazing, C3PO helps nora be an end game beast.

If don't have access to C3PO, Kyle Katarn or Ezra are the secind best choices. If you don’t have access to the Ghost, Kanan can be changed to tactian like you have or Hotshot co-pilot.

I like tail gunner on Norra, although I feel the other 3 point crews I mentioned are better.

Countermeasures helps Rey survive an alpha strike, or Omega Leader and the likes.

Hope this helps, cheers.

I don't know how useful is VT in that norra, as you are probably taking a TL almost every turn.

True, vt was more to give it maneuverability....but if i put push the limit on him i'll be able to get my target lock and another action if need be.

norra

expertise

c3p0

r2d2

title

It's brutal, 3p0 means you always have 1 evade and you have great greens for r2 and you always have a use for the TL, either reroll if you blank out or add the focus and auto hit via expertise (2 out the rear!!)

Rey and Norra is a lovely, lovely pair. That being said, I think a few subtle changes can push the effect:

Rey: Finn, HotR Title, should be stapled to her. Expertise is an excellent choice, but if using it, EU could very well be stronger than having an illicit, allowing her to push range. She also begs for Kanan. That guy is golden on her, especially with expertise.

Norra is nice in this setup, but I'd get her R2-D2 to enable some staying power. Tail gunner is a fine choice, C-3PO could push her lifespan. Expertise and PTL would both be valid for her.

Thanks for the input guys!! Its nice to see everyone generally agree with the build! And yea, Rey and Norra is a dangerous mix.
