Need Rebel Wingman For Thicc Tournament

By hargleblarg, in X-Wing Squad Lists

A local game store is running a tournament this weekend which requires you to have a ship worth at least 110 points with the bid going to the thiccest ship. This is my current list:

Han Solo — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter 92
Trick Shot 1
Kanan Jarrus 14
R2-D2 8
Hull Upgrade 3
Ship Total: 118
Half Points: 59 Threshold: 7
AP-5 — Sheathipede-class Shuttle 30
Ship Total: 30
Half Points: 15 Threshold: 3
Wedge Antilles — T-65 X-Wing 52
Ship Total: 52
Half Points: 26 Threshold: 3

Han is tanky as **** and earns his points. AP-5 has been invaluable in doubling up on actions or ensuring that a bump isn't catstrophic. Wedge appears to be the weak link here (surprise). I think what I need is some front loaded damage to back up Han.

My first thought is either Dutch or Norra with Torps, but I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious, so I'm turning to you all for help.

Thanks a lot.

It’s unusual but how about a B wing? Ten Numb would work well with AP-5 for repositioning and the stress-as-focus mechanic he has. Throw Composure on for additional focus tokens if you misjudge a roll. Plus they are quite tanky for the cost.

It's not a bad thought and it would give me an excuse to put one on the table

I'll second Ten Numb. Been my favorite pilot in 2.0 so far. Especially now that that 1-speed talon roll.

Lose Hull on han and you can get naked Norra 😯... in the Arc

She can take awhile to kill once in a scrum letting Han dance around the outside. AP can help her get actions after a barrel roll or kturn.

Im guessing people kill wedge quickly then its han vs the world. The longer Norra lives the more work Han can do and makes it easier. However, Norra could make it so people go after Han first, so you have to be prepared for that. Wedge is super aggro, and losing him changes enemy priority.

I think I like this the best. I've been looking for an excuse to put Norra on the table.

Losing hull upgrade hurts, sadly. With R2, it can be worth an average of 3 hit points. But I think it's worth it in this case.
