Norra/Han or Norra/Rey?

Recommended Posts

I've been really struggling lately pushing enough damage through on opponents. So, I'm thinking something like Rey who can add/modify dice or Han, who just rolls and re-rolls, can help me out.

I'd choose Rey for sure, especially because she has so many passive Mods that can't be Fenned. She just plain hits harder than Han.

For that same reason, I might switch to Expertise on Norra, ditching VT and possibly using C-3PO instead of Kyle. That is 2 very hard hitting ships that fairly effectively pushes past a Fenn/Ghost list.

Thanks! Yeah, I ran the Rey list against Ghost/Fenn in two matchups. Won the first, lost the second. Fenn against Norra is just plain infuriating. He just locks down all of her mods.

I see the value of ditching VT for Expertise. And without PTL C-3PO makes for a better crew member.

Personally i am always a fan of the Fat Han builds.  Han + falcon title + c3p0 + PTL + eng upgrade (gunner is overkill)

Yeah yeah i can hear everyone typing "but what about wookies?" already.  But I have found keeping distance and staying out of arc always wins the day with Han even when arcs are hard to stay out of.  Staying at range 3, you still have Han's ability to deal damage; plus opponents need to overcome: range, an evade token, and c3p0...  That is a lot hits they need to roll....  It is a long game but i personally have more luck with it than any Rey build i have ever tried.  

All that said...  

If you still want a Rambo Rey build, then I would drop Kanan for Bistan so you can mod hits to crits.  True, Kanan helps Norra use PTL.  But, you have R2.  So you are going to be doing green every chance you get anyway.  So at best Kanan will be used only 1/2 the game and that is assuming you can stay in range 2 the whole game.  

Sooooo...  The choice is: 

Rey modding a hit to a crit every time one is rolled

or

Norra getting a double focus on rounds where she didn't already do a green maneuver AND is in range 2 of the falcon...
