Separatist Allianceĭooku (-10), Grievous (-5 and gun free, net -13), Super Tactical Droid (-5), Droideka (-5), BX Droids (-4) BX Shields (-8) Blizzard is still good, just in a different light.
The nerf to Force Choke hurts dark side users, but I don’t think enough was done to avoid having to warp your list around the Double Dark trooper lists that will float around. The points increase to Dark Troopers will force double Dark Trooper players to cut some things but it doesn’t change their gate keeping function in tournaments, which is the largest issue with them.Įvan B: The rich are still rich. Boba is still the best Bounty Hunter, he’s just fairly costed now. The AT-ST version of Blizzard is still solid but it was never quite as good as the Operative Vader version, and now you have to find 25 points to accommodate the increases. Blizzard was a meta freezing menace that needed to be addressed aggressively, and I think they did enough. Kyle: My favorite list got hit hard, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Thankfully, however, Blizzard is an average strength list now and may even be best with Veers. Dark Troopers will still make you think twice about leaving Impact at home so we’ll have to see where the meta shakes out there. Boba is still great and can be paired with either Iden or perhaps now Kallus.
You are likely still going to need Impact 10+ to get past Dark Troopers at a real tournament.Įvan P: The big meta lists were all hit, but Empire will not be reeling. This was a step in the right direction, but I fear they have missed the mark with Dark Troopers. Operative Vader losing Choke is a big deal and probably will singlehandedly make it so that he is left on the bench in favor of his counterpart, as his scatter tricks get a lot worse without it.
UPGRADE SURE CUTS A LOT 2 UPDATE
This update is targeting the most significant meta bruisers (Double Bounty, Dark Troopers, Blizzard) but the roster of Imperial good stuff is still extraordinarily deep in comparison to other factions. Mike: Kallus joining the ranks of the infinitely playable imperial characters is great. Guardian no longer works on Unstoppable units. Operative Vader no longer usable in Blizzard Force. Officer (+5), Boba Fett (+10), Storm HRUs (+10), Dark Trooper Heavies (+12 Combined). Kallus (-5, rifle free, net -15), Veers (-5), Dewback Flamer and RTC (-5). Echo Base is my top pick for the next meta boogeyman. I think Rebel players can rely on units like Cassain and Lando a lot more than they did before. Also, I think Ewoks will have an impact on this faction and can easily bump them up a tier.Īustin: Rebel corps definitely seem like the weakest link in the faction, but most of their heroes just got massive buffs. Jay: Commander Luke needed some love (which he got), but I don’t think they went far enough! I think another 5-10 points and he becomes more desirable. Overall, I think Cassian or Echo Base is the way forward for competitive Rebels. Mando points cuts are cool, but I don’t know if it is enough to make them good. Echo Base also had some great point drops, and quad Tauntaun armies just got much cheaper. Cassian was already one of the better commanders in Rebels, so a 10 point reduction is huge for him. Lucas: These changes do not address the core issue of Rebels, which is their corps. They may need more, but I think that unit (like other Mandos, Death Troopers, anything with surging red saves) is so easy to over-tune, so best to start small. Those Mandos needed a drop and I think it’s a good drop for now. Tauns are still scary, but the drop makes them more viable. I am surprised to see Cassian’s gun drop when he has been very prevalent recently, but I’m not raging about it. Tim H: As much as I despise Rebels, they needed a little love. Clan Wren (-12) and Mandos (-11 in total between upgrades). Lando (-10), Commander Luke (-10), Leia (-5), Cassian’s gun free.
