So, I have been running this list, and need a new wingman for Lando, Norra is not putting in the work I expected her to. Any ideas?

Lando Calrissian — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter-92

Trick Shot-1

Agile Gunner-10

Nien Nunb-5

Engine Upgrade-9

Millennium Falcon-6

Ship Total: 123

Norra Wexley — ARC-170 Starfighter-55

Expert Handling-4

Veteran Tail Gunner-4

R2-D2-8

Ship Total: 71

any ideas?

Lando Shoots first

(38) Roark Garnet
(12) Moldy Crow
(2) Jyn Erso
(4) Juke
(3) Engine Upgrade
(6) Shield Upgrade
Points 65

(92) Lando Calrissian
(12) Han Solo
(6) Millennium Falcon
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(8) Saw Gerrera
(4) Shield Upgrade
(1) Trick Shot
Points 133

Total points: 198

Double Init 7 shots from Lando, hide behind rocks and use Jyn to make sure you are focus evaded, TL and boost when you can. Saw if you got more than one focus result on the dice. The restraint on using Saw is a must. The Hawk can mop up the rest.

Or you could use Jake and Dutch and have a bunch of actions.

The thing is, I am bad at keeping things close together, so I made a squad of independent units. Also, Nien on Lando is suuuper good. Otherwise I like your ideas. I am just looking for something strong to fit in my remaining 77 points.

What about this?

Lando

Title

Nien

Magva

Luke

Supernatural Reflexes

S-Foils

Afterburners

R2-D2

Both very capable, VERY unappealing targets

I like it. Thank you! I will try this out. Also going to try wedge, as pushing damage through is somewhat of an issue with my current list (Norra can’t get meaningful front arc shots a lot of the time).

I just made this Lando/Norra list. Struggled with putting Elusive or Expert Handling on Norra, but decided to go for damage control instead. Besides, if Lando lets Norra do a BR, I can reveal a blue manauver to clear the stress anyway. And if not, I hopefully already have tokens from Lando if I BR after my move.

A friend of mine flew something kind of like below.

• Lando (Trick Shot, Perceptive Copilot, Nien Numb, Bistan, Millennium Falcon title)
• Wullffwarro (Expert Handling, Magva Yarro, Jyn Erso, Hull Upgrade)

Actually, I think Jyn had originally been Chewbacca, but he was never used. There are probably other tweaks to consider, but Wullff is interesting as someone who can hit hard, take a few hits, and also has a huge firing arc.

I was trying to make Nien work with my list but just couldn't figure out the right way to do it. The problem with putting Jyn on Norra is I can't do the focus action twice. So I'm going to stick with two calculates and have Lando pass a focus/evade or BR.

I do see the advantage of Bistan so I made adjustments to fit him in over Han. Pretty much upgraded to Bistan, dropped the droid from Norra and added Expert Handling in its place. Dropped Inertial Dampeners, which were there as a "just in case" anyway.

I've run Lando with Trick Shot, Millennium Falcon and Nien Nunb alongside Wedge with Crack Shot and R3 Astromech and Arvel with Intimidation.

It... wasn't very good. Granted, I'm not the best at actually leveraging the abilities of my ships, but Lando just got blocked way too many times to really be of any use.

You might have more success running Sabine instead of Arvel as she's more of an independent threat, rather than a pseudo support ship to the other two.

Even then... I dunno. Lando can work as a sort of co-ordinate on Wedge, but I think that means Wedge really wants torpedoes to be any good. Double modded torps twice in a game at I6 is okay. Leaves very little room for a third ship, though. Alternatively, you drop the third ship altogether and run Lando and Wedge with more upgrades.

In my experience, though, they're both really easy to shoot at and kill. I don't think you get enough upgrades in there to mitigate that.

With that in mind, I think Luke is a much better choice.

Problem is, with his greater independence, Force token spending and pre movement reposition with Supernatural Reflexes, he doesn't really need Lando.

At which point, you may as well just run Han instead of Lando for the exact same cost, better Initiative and better offensive options.

Seriously, Lando is hard to build around....

If you really want to use Lando and an ARC, i would suggest Shara. It allows you to trigger her ability easy.

Shara is nice but the restriction of having both a lock and a focus makes it a little trickier if you ask me. Norra and Lando are both I5's so that's nice. And Norra with 3PO can have two calculates, her ability, and either a lock, focus, or evade from Lando. From my perspective, Norra provides more options, particularly on defense.
