Coming Meta

By DerBaer, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

We've seen many previews of unrealeased figures and a game-changing FAQ. What do you think will the coming Meta be like?

I think the 4x4 and 9Act will still be strong, but not as dominating as they are right now.

The FAQ makes lists with less activations more playable, so I expect Vader's Fist and RGC/2RG/Officers to become more popular. Furthermore, I think the Elite IO will become more popular in lists with expensive figures (Vader, RGC, Weiss).

There are some new Leaders for the Empire. Do you think, these will (partially) replace the Imperial Officers? At a first glance, Kayn and Sorin seem a little bit expensive compared to the Officers.

Boba Fett and the Hired Guns will make Mercs far more interesting. I think, we'll see a good amount of Merc lists in the near future ...

With R2-D2 and Leia, Rebels will get dominant on Command Cards. Rebel High Command and Mak add to that. I'm really looking forward to creating lists benefiting from this ...

As a bottom line: Some of the previewed figures will change the game, some will see less playtime (Snowtroopers, Echo Base Troopers ?).

What do you think?

I heard about the new FAQ at Gencon but I can't seem to find in on the forums. I can only find the official FAQ for the campaign. Is there a link for a summary of all the upcoming changes?
