Ghost/Arc Round 2

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've used a Ghost/Arc-170 combo more than any other combo since I started playing this game. The new Shuttle has given me several fresh ideas. Now that I can use Coordinate, it gives me other uses for Norra outside of PTL. Here are my initial thoughts:

Lothal Rebel (35)
Fire-Control System (2)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Hera Syndulla (1)
Courier Droid (0)
Ghost (Phantom II) (0)

AP-5 (15)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
"Chopper" (Astromech) (1)
Guidance Chips (0)
Phantom II (0)

Norra Wexley (29)
Expertise (4)
C-3PO (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Total: 100

There's some good potential with AP-5 and Inspiring Recuit combo to deal with stress-dealers, and the Guideacne Chips are fun to give Chopper another thing to kill for shield regen at no additonal cost. Norra with Expertise means I can Target Lock after moving and have the free coordinate action give her a Focus for defense or barrel roll for better positioning.

Hm. I'm intrigued. I like the idea of using coordinate to provide Norra with the action economy she needs. However, given that freedom, I might use VI on her and rely on your coordinating to give her actions. That being said, leaving her with Expertise, she can pull a red, AP-5 can coordinate her into a target lock and free her stress, reactivating Expertise, which is lovely.

I dig the AP-5 build, especially on a thematic level (AP and Chop lol). I'm less engaged by the Rebel build, I wonder if it will be able to deal the damage it needs, but it is presents a huge meat shield and damage soak.

I think it has a lot of potential!

Yeah, I see the potential here. The Ghost is really there to do quick damage before popping out the Shuttle. It’s more of a threat with the double tap title, but it’s still a big target with a lot of offense.

My other list was a straight 50/50 list. The higher end players know how to handle it, but I tended to kill off any player/list that isn’t completely thought out or practiced. I think this set up gives me a slightly better edge than the previous version:
