Got to try the Arc-170

[Rasputindarksyde 143]

So my buddy got the Arc-170 from Gencon so I got to try it out today. This was my list.

Thane: Expose, R2-D6, Title

Biggs: IA, R2-F2

Lothal Rebel: Zeb, Auto Blaster, Tactical Jammer, FCS

I really like the Thane Build. He was getting work done. I would Target lock or Focus for his action. The after someone shot I would Expose for his free action. Biggs was there to take hits before he took any so expose wasn't an issue. The lothal was there to shoot things and cover Biggs even more.

What do you think?

[ficklegreendice 34,359]

yes you gotta fly them; they're so pretty!

 

oh...past tense

 

personally, not a fan of Thane (not a fan of dice) but whatever floats your boat

 

if you could get tailgunner in there for the Wedge Antilles aux arc, you really should

 

I'd honestly cull TJ and Zeb for it, but it's hard to pass up how obnoxiously satisfying a Zeb ghost is with Biggs behind it

[Rasputindarksyde 143]

The free expose action after everyone has shot is pretty sweet. Gets the Arc a range 1 5 attack shot. Along with a range 1 5 Attack shot from the Ghost is pretty cool to me. While Biggs hides behind the Ghost getting 4 defense dice.

R2-D6 grants an EPT.

R2-D6 gives an EPT to the Pilot

where is the giant wingspan ?

[JamieSpace 138]

I had theory crafted something similar... I have no idea if its any good tbh, I really hadn't looked at the ARC much.

Guess you push Ghost in their face and fly biggs and Thane close together behind

 

Lothal Rebel (35)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Hera Syndulla (1)
Tactical Jammer (1)

Biggs Darklighter (25)
R4-D6 (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Thane Kyrell (26)
Tail Gunner (2)
R7-T1 (3)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Total: 99

 

Zeb could probably be replaced with something better once more rebel crew come out

Zeb is amazing with Biggs. They can bump into you. They still have to shoot at Biggs but you can still shoot 5 attack dice at them.

I am not sold on Tail gunner on the Arc yet. You are only attacking with 2 dice. Haven't seen it pay off yet.

this is literally why you tailgunner

 

unless you're going for stress

 

honestly, outside of Norra, you're probably going for stress

 

but this is expose thane, so you're attacking with 3 dice. You're wedge!

it just didn't do much tonight that I saw. Buddy was using it and never got a hit through with Tailgunner. He was playing against Ties. Either he got a hit and blank or a eye and a blank. Just not good against a ship with evade token and at least 2 agility after Tailgunner minus.

i really like thane. atm i'm running the combo with biggs:

 

Thane Kyrell (26)

Lando Calrissian (3)

R3-A2 (2)

Alliance Overhaul (0)

 

Biggs Darklighter (25)

R4-D6 (1)

Integrated Astromech (0)

 

there are 43 points left... i'm testing a fat poe dameron. suggestions?

well yeah

 

that's why you add more dice via Norra (or expose thane)

 

it's not like like not having tailgunner is going to somehow improve your odds of doing anything to those ships as it only makes it more likely that you're bouncing off of greens

 

 

the only alternative is going for stress builds (Tactician/gunner) that don't care about actually hitting the enemy
