A fun dual Arc list...

By Sethelberry, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just wanted to share this list and ask for any adjustments. I flew it twice against my buddy and it absolutely wrecked him..

New Squadron

(55) Norra Wexley

(1) "Zeb" Orrelios

(4) Veteran Tail Gunner

(3) Intimidation

Points 63

(47) Benthic Two Tubes

(0) Pivot Wing

(10) Advanced Sensors

(2) Tactical Officer

Points 59

(53) Shara Bey

(8) Saw Gerrera

(4) Veteran Tail Gunner

(4) Shield Upgrade

(2) "Chopper"

(6) Ion Torpedoes

Points 77

Total points: 199

So I flew it right in their faces and boy did it cause damage, especially the Zeb intimidation combo on Norra. Benthic is there to add support for the arcs, either handing off focus or coordinating for an extra action.

The chopper combo with ion tops is to regen up to 2 shields without getting a weapons disabled token, I hate that mechanic with the R2 units.

Anyway, let me know what you think!

The regen is not bad on R2-- you cant fly straight at your opponent all day, need to turn around some time and keeps your torps for the joust.

I just liked not losing my rear arc when getting a shield back. Just an action, and could be a free action from the coordinate...

I like my Shara a little cheaper. TrickShot being cool! And R3 helps heaps with her ability, and concealing target priority.

(53) Shara Bey
(3) R3 Astromech
(8) Saw Gerrera
(4) Shield Upgrade
(2) Trick Shot
Points 70

Do you use VetTurretGunner that often??

Yeah man, a couple times a game. It actually worked out last time I played cause I banked in, took a pot shot out of my front arc and then did the Shara - Saw shenanigans out of my rear at a Guri, did one hit and 3 crits. When it works, it works really well!

I might swap Advanced Sensors on Benthic for Perceptive Copilot + Leia. This would force you to also lose the Tac. Officer but gives you a couple more points to play with.

Yeah I have yet to run Leia but she's definitely strong. Would make for fun white stop, rotate and action on the uwing. Also forgoing the regen opens up quite a few points...

dont need leia as long as tubes is alive tossing focuses or coordinating before the arcs kturn. Looks like a beefy list. My only worry is Shara is 77pts (your most expensive ship) and easiest to take down and can drop fast focused upon.

That Norra looks crazy as **** though 😃 Like a scud missile coming at ya. Be real fun combo'd with Lando, who could barrel roll her at initiative 5 before she launches herself into the mosh pit 😂 🤣

You just gave me an idea for a " Suicide Squad " List 👍

It absolutely wrecked the guy I played against. His face when I had one hit and 4 crits at range one was priceless...

She does melt if focused on but the thought was that norra was bumping and protecting her.
