I'm in love with the ISD

By Viratin, in Star Wars: Armada

I mean, seriously. It's huge, it's mean, and I can't wait to have a pair of 'em!

This is, to my understanding, the first ship where we're going to have an option for Red + Blue + Black dice on the same attack roll. I haven't begun to consider all the shenanigans you could work out of that.

Also, the Relentless! -1 Command Dial on a huge thing like an ISD, for only 3 points? Heck yeah! I mean, I love how much easier it makes this thing to wield. It's like having a battle axe that you can swing as easily as a sword.

The Avenger is gonna be a lot of fun, I think, especially if you pair it with one of the Raiders and Screed. Give the Raider Overload Pulse and exhaust all the enemy defense tokens, then have the Avenger come up and blast away at the poor defenseless rebels. Muahahaha!

So, yeah, I'm seriously liking all this, and we haven't even seen all the upgrades yet!

Needless to say, I'm gonna be putting all my effort into winning the Massing At Sullest so I can take home one of these bad boys early.

Try it out.

Take a Victory Star Destroyer.

Add Expanded Launchers

Add Dominator Title.

Shoot at Close Range and Spend 2 Shields.

Now you're throwing *JUST AS MANY DICE AS AN ISD OUT OF THAT FRONT ARC*... I mean, its 3 Red, 2 Blue, and 5 Black... But if you accuracy those Braces Away, you're looking, 8 times out of 10, at a Dead Enemy.

I was about to post this exact combo.

I'm looking forward to people being so wide-eyed over the ISD that they forget his little brother can hit just as hard.

Its been my favourite ever since I bought a Gladiator. :D

That's one silly combo :P

The vsd doesn't need to hit as hard as the isd. Considering the significant points difference, you can just bring more :)

But the vsd will never measure up to that nostalgia. No sir, that's where the isd has it soundly beat

For me the option for speed 3 over the VSD's max 2 is also very compelling.

Don't underestimate the Victory.

She has a lot of nostalgia points thanks to the decades worth of novels and games she's been featured in.

And it never hurts to mislead an opponent. If they don't realize that the VSD hits nearly as hard, they're in for a rude awakening if they let their guard down.

I like the fact that it is the size of a small slice of Pizza.

AFII with Paragon title can do Red + Blue +Black in a single roll. Unless you mean "we" as in "imperial players".

He means base. While it is great, it is expensive. This will be fun

Is there any reason not to toss the overload pulse on the avenger itself?

It depends.

It will work if you're double arcing. But its usually best to have someone else handle that duty.
