Norra + Wookies

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I just picked up a second Wookie ship this weekend, and I was looking for ideas on pairing two of them with Norra. Here's what I got:

Pretty simple. Kyle's focus becomes an evade for Norra. If they go for one Wookie, you solve the Jan problem, but it leaves Low. If you go for Loh, Norra can rely on Jan.

The only problem is that both Wookies don't have any offensive mods, so it'll be up to Norra to take on enemy ships.

Norra Wexley (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Kyle Katarn (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Kashyyyk Defender (24)
Tactician (2)
Jan Ors (2)

Lowhhrick (28)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Tactician (2)
"Chopper" (0)

Total: 100

I'd go for selflessness any day over draw their fire on Low. Norra is fragile against alpha strike and focused fire. Usually she can get away after the first engagement, so selflessness helps in that regard!
Otherwise it looks fun, albeit I would probably just downgrade the Jan Ors to something costing 1 and upgrade norra's kyle to C3PO, for the same effect, but without needing your mates

Kyle and C-3PO are both 3 points, so no downgrading needed! I've played with 3PO/D2 quite a lot and it's great. I like Kyle in this build because I can remove stress/gain shield/get focus then Focus PTL Target lock. I have a focus for both offense and defense. It's a balanced approach.

I get your point on Selflessness. Seems like a good way to go to Lowhh. Thanks!

Oh right, I wasn't thinking straight! Yeah I can see that route as pretty flexible. ;-) Enjoy the list and kick some butt!

That is brutal to try kill - but you are right, Norra is the only actual threat, and even with a couple evade results, she can still get focus fired real fast.

I love this list ... agree I'd put selflessness on Lowhhrick over draw their fire ... but this makes target priority a real problem for the opponent ... Norra is avoiding/regenning 3-4 damage a turn if she goes full defensive monster ... Tacticians are disrupting the opponents options meanwhile Norra is still hitting like a truck.
