Palpatine on a shuttle, flying behind Vader with Expose. That extra die is now a crit. You've now got TWO guarantee'd crits. And you've just one-shotted Whisper before they even shot! OMG!

I know it's expensive, but with the ATC and other upgrades that come with the raider, I think expose is better now than it was before.

You know you can use Palpatine on Vader's default dice, right?

Expose costs you 4 points, an EPT slot and an action to turn Vader into a badly priced X-wing.

How have you one shotted whisper? Vaders crits are just that, crits, not dealing damage cards. So gotta get through shields first, right?

You are more than entitled to that opinion, however after playing with Expose you'll realize the futility..

You guys are failing to see how awesome it is for Vader to roll Blank, Hit, Hit Crit, while exposed at Range one, get a free crit from ATC, and have the emperor change the Blank to a Crit. It's like Vader mooned your pilot through his windshield while passing and your shields exaporated and you blew up.

-In all seriousness I'm simply saying it is better now than it was before. I'm not saying it is the meta, or everyone needs to fly it. In all honestly Predator is a better pick 9 times out of 10. I'm just saying it's better now than it was a few months ago. Simple statement.

Any speculation on the cheapest Ghost? I'm guessing 33 points based on pilot skills and stuff... but I could totally see them making it 34 just so you can't put 3 of them in the same 100-point list. Because if it's 33, I wouldn't want to face 3 ghosts each with 4 attack dice flying at me.

Vader still has to roll decently to get the hit hit. I mean don't get me wrong, exposing oneself is hilarious, but it's still a fickle red, and they can still ficklegreen.

Remember if you tie on pilot skill, whisper gets to attack you even if you kill it.

...saying it simply doesn't make it true. Vader can still do all of those things without Expose. There's nothing about anything that came with the Raider that makes Expose a better choice on any pilot than it was in Wave 6.

If your metric is awesomeness, and you think it's awesome, go ahead! But be clear that when you mean "better" you don't actually mean "more effective at dealing damage".

(Predator is a better choice 10 times out of 10. But so is Marksmanship, and that's a tough bar to get under.)

Three Ghosts in the same list would be a bit much, yes.
