Objective: Norra

By RebelProfundity, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My intention is to get Norra on the table again, along with a durable partner and, hopefully, another ship of any kind. I really enjoy her pilot ability, the model, and the front/rear arc. I have gone through a lot of options and think I personally prefer this for a three ship Norra list. I have a few good ideas for two ship Norra lists, but how do I fit her into a list with at least 2 other targets?

Miranda Doni — K-Wing 29
Twin Laser Turret 6
Harpoon Missiles 4
Sabine Wren 2
Bomblet Generator 3
Guidance Chips 0

Started from the other end - working on a way to field Keyan, I've ended up including Norra in the list. In the first list, all ships chill on the same PS level, granting full flexibility in activation and use of Coordinate action.

Maulander 7

ARC-170: •Norra Wexley (41)
Vectored Thrusters (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Push the Limit (3)
•C-3PO (3)
•R2-D2 (4)

B-Wing: •Keyan Farlander (34)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Lightning Reflexes (1)
Collision detector (0)
•Maul (3)

Sheathipede-class Shuttle: •Ezra Bridger (24)
•Phantom II (0)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
•R3-A2 (2)

Total: 99/100

An another variant sacrifices the uniform PS distribution for a low-Ace positioning of the damage dealers. A small bid can be used e.g. to equip Keyan with an utility cannon of preference, or to upgrade Norra to EU.

@RebelProfundity If I were playing Miranda, I would use LRS instead of Guidance chips. Without extra munitions, you only get one use out of the chips. LRS can set up the Harpoon against higher PS and continue to be useful later in the game. Side note: I don't fly Miranda. I sold my K-wing because I have scrub standards.

@ryfterek I too, fly a list with Norra, Farlander and Ezra. Crack Shot is my EPT for Farlander with Maul. In addition to pushing damage through, it helps trigger Maul's stress removal in clutch moments. I prefer Butterfly Norra, but with Saw crew I might try regen again.

Norra Wexley — ARC-170 29
Veteran Instincts 1
Saw Gerrera 1
R2-D2 4
Vectored Thrusters 2
Alliance Overhaul 0

I'm excited for this version personally...

I fly something like this too! It's real solid.

Honestly, I would just accept that Saw Norra will die fast, and ditch regen for FAA, giving more to Ezra. Possibly also by dropping Harpoons
