After the points change, this sauad will be at 200 pts. I took inspiration from a team I have seen floating around that was Wedge, Braylen, Luke and Jake. That team had a lot of single ships with double mod shots. The idea is jake trails behind wedge giving him focus. Braylen flies on his own stressing himself to get better shots and Norra just ruahes towards the enemy tries to ion them and drop a bomb in their face. Alternatively, Dutch with Ion turret and VTG would replace Norra. Thoughts?

26 hp, 11 potential attack die per round, and all high int. pilots. I can dig it. I know that VTG went up in price, i would still entertain the gunner over the astro mech on Norra for the extra fire power if your planning on jousting.

Thanks @Glattyator . I might downgrade to R2 on wedge and use the VTG instead of bombs and R4 on Norra

I'd keep R4 of Norra for sure. Her ability procs at R1, and she needs those slow maneuvers to be better so she can stay in the close fight. Turret and VTG combo well with her pseudo knife-fighting style.

Edit. Give her a cheap hull upgrade to buy her a little more time in the fight. Keep Wedge and Braylen cheap to punish the enemy for focusing on Norra. Even better... swap Wedge out for Garven. He's cheaper, and his ability with Jake is a really fun exchange.

@Bucknife what would you recommend cutting to keep r4 since this list is at 200 already...

Wedge +R2 = 59

Jake = 36

Braylen = 51

Norra + Ion and VTG = 54.

Marksmanship will be very relevant in the upcoming Decimator meta. Crits for days, yo.

Thanks @Bucknife . I like the idea but I am hesitant to sink too many points into Norra. Garven and Thane are also on my radar to replace wedge. I just like that him and Braylen can pack a punch. Garven can hit hard too, but then I feel obligated to fly in more of a swarm, and I can't zip him in and out of the fight the way I would wedge. I think I will give the list a try this weekend at my FLGS.

@Amc879 , you definitely gotta fly your style and what is fun for you!

I'm personally okay with Norra like this, because I figure if I play her really aggressive, her ability will proc a bunch and absorb way more fire that any Y-Wing has the right to....

Plus, she's only 60 points and then they still have to deal with my THREE really decent I4s with tricks.

If they don't finish off Norra quick...she's gonna keep ionizing people and double tapping turret shots and generally wrecking havoc.

Whatever build you use... Good choice putting a Y-Wing on the table! They are totally underappreciated in Rebels, in my opinion.

I like Norra in particular so much, I got an ARC 170 just to use her in it. Can't yet in hyperspace, but the day I can it frees up my Y wing for Dutch by her side. I have been a rebel swarm player, usually 4 I3/4 pilots, Biggs, selfless or something of that nature. Wulffwarro made an appearance as a Leia carrier recently alongside the B's. But I am starting to branch out because flying a list that is only good at one thing got boring. This list is my attempt at building something a little more flexible and fun to fly for more than just one day.
