Rebels fans your new, or should I say old, starship from Wave IX is blazing onto the X-Wing scene. Come see some thoughts on the new ARC-170!
The Rebels low slow and tough fighters that can take a beating and dish it right back to the fragile ships of the Empire. Let’s take a look at the spec for the ARC-170 expansion.
The ARC-170 features 2 attack, 1 agility, 6 hull and 3 shields. Seems like a B-Wing already, but the modifications and upgrades are what makes this relic shine. The ARC-170 has an auxillary firing arc in its rear and has the focus and target lock action icons. The first ship for the Rebels to feature a crew and Astromech slot will allow interesting combinations. A super tanky version starring your favorite droid duo has been rumored to be seen around the galaxy. C-3PO and R2-D2 makes the ARC-170 extremely difficult to take down, even with 1 agility! But the other options seem interesting as well.
The Alliance Overhaul is a brand new title for the Rebels. It allows you to fire an additional die from your primary arc, and allows you to change 1 of your focus results to a critical, all without spending your token! That’s some nice action economy! Add in the named pilot Shara Bey and now you’re cooking!
Bro Dameron’s mom is one chick you don’t mess with! She works well with a team. Just like K-Wing pilot Esege Tuketu, Shara Bey acts as a support ship for your squadron. Giver Shara a Weapons Engineer and she has 2 target locks to help her buddies out! Interesting combinations like these keep this game interesting and fun.
What will you add to your ARC-170 ships? Keep flying out there and test out new ships!
