Norra at range one is nigh unkillable, and the ADV. protorps make her enough of a threat to be shot at.

Wedge is a battering ram, drawing fire away from the two glass cannons, while providing cheap offensive power.

Thoughts?

I'm especially interested in the ARC, and want to try cool combos

My first thought is that there’s too many points in Norra, or at least in the wrong things. Slap a hull upgrade, r4 Astro and she’s fine there. Adv proton torps is fine but hard to get off, and when you do you have a 4 dice primary anyway. Hull upgrade and r4 make her a tank.

Blount is underrated and if you put cluster missiles on him becomes super annoying. I wish shield upgrade wasn’t so expensive on them as they are glass cannons like you say.

Sabine is a pain like that.

wedge can be good or bad depending what you fly against. He wants proton torps though since he takes away a defense die.

Those are my thoughts. If you pare down Norra that frees up points for torps on wedge. Norra is tough, still hits hard, Sabine does her thing, and wedge with torps is tough.

Can't equip R4 unit on ARC as it is 'small ship only' restricted.

As for a defensive configuration for Norra, I seek one as well not being entirely sold on the Zeb'timidation all-in approach. My current iteration is:

(55) Norra Wexley
(3) R3 Astromech
(7) Magva Yarro
(4) Expert Handling / Veteran Tail Gunner / Shield Upgrade
Points 69

The 4pt slot is my 'flavour to taste' bit, depending a whole lot on the rest of the squadron.

You’re right. I was thinking r5 Astro to get hull back. Haven’t had much luck with vet tail gunner and haven’t tried magva crew yet.

I’ve had luck with Norra with just hull upgrade lately. No one really wants to shoot at her in my area, so astros are kinda wasted on her, and torps are situational. It has allows for me to add upgrades to my other ships which forces my opponent to pick their poison. YMMV though.

Replace wedge with biggs.
