1) VetTailGun is a waste of points. Likely the shield upgrades are too.

2) You have no way to proc Edrio, so you're paying his pointa for nothing.

3) Especially with fighting with Juke, Shara has little to no guaranteed way to get both Focus and TL, which is kind of her thing

Yeah I'm not sure that list really makes best use of the pilot skills.

I'm working on a dual ARC list, with a lot of similarities to yours...

Archetype

(55) Norra Wexley
(4) Juke
(5) Lando Calrissian
(4) Veteran Tail Gunner
Points 68

(51) Garven Dreis
(4) Juke
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(4) Veteran Tail Gunner
Points 69

(38) Sabine Wren
(2) Jyn Erso
(2) Debris Gambit
(6) Ion Cannon Turret
(6) Shield Upgrade
Points 54

Total points: 191

still need to run it to see what changes need making, I want to try and use Tail Gunner as these ships should be very close in the battle. I know it's not the best use of Garven's pilot ability, but at least he should be able to give it out for Sabine's attack or Norra's defence.

ARC-170 Starfighter - •Norra Wexley - 68
•Norra Wexley - Gold Nine (55)
•Lone Wolf (4)
•Nien Nunb (5)
Veteran Tail Gunner (4)
ARC-170 Starfighter - •Shara Bey - 70
•Shara Bey - Green Four (53)
•Kanan Jarrus (14)
R3 Astromech (3)
ARC-170 Starfighter - •Garven Dreis - 62
•Garven Dreis - Red Leader (51)
Trick Shot (1)
Perceptive Copilot (10)
Total: 200/200

this is my current triple arc lost, its actually reasonably effective on the table (at least it has been locally)

Have you thought about dropping upgrades on this to make room for a z with clusters or sheathipeade? It would give you a fourth ship that can help strip tokens or give one of your arcs another action.

I have considered the Z option, but to be honest there really isn't a lot that I can trim out without comprising the way the list currently works (for me at least). The way I normally fly it, Norra is on one flank with Shara+Garven on the other, if the enemy either has to focus on one flank and hope they can do it before the other scissors in behind them, or split their forces and try and deal with them all at the same time. Flown with my usual aggressive style it seems to work.

vettailgun is better than nothing given the list is maxed out

Except that dropping them gets you awfully close to upgrading the X-wing from Edrio to Wedge.

try a different approach to a heavy fighters list, i use this one, bumping the regular ini6 ace with Norra & informant, using Cassian to ditch stress and Leia for red manouvers, Kanan is one force token for Shara's TL:

Norra Wexley (55)
Intimidation (3)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
R2 Astromech (3)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Ship total: 66 Half Points: 33 Threshold: 5

Shara Bey (50)
Kanan Jarrus (12)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Ship total: 66 Half Points: 33 Threshold: 5

Cassian Andor (51)
Informant (5)
Leia Organa (6)
Hull Upgrade (5)
Pivot Wing (0)

Ship total: 67 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 5


Total: 199

< Looks at post date. Looks at date of post being quoted...

Why? This thread and the post you're replying to is 2 major points adjustments/4 Waves ago (aka, almost a year old). The OP is extremely unlikely to be even still flying the list and the person you quoted most likely doesn't even remember posting what you quoted.
