I played this past weekend for the first time sense gencon and decided that what you have to play to be competitive sucks. I do not believe you can play any of the uniques other then the uniques that cost 3 or less and really have a chance of winning any kind of competitive tourney. I feel this takes away from my experience with this game. I also feel like I have to go out and buy 4 sets of wookies or 4 twin shadows to have any chance to win this is really upsetting. Is there any thing we can do as a community to help fantasy flight fix the massive problem. Thanks for the info.

Luke is competitive.

You don't need 4 sets of wookies and I don't know what you plan to find in Twin Shadows that is going to save you. If you meant to say, "I need 4 core sets because I need 4 Reg RGs and more Officers." Then I'd sympathize.

No doubt it's going to be a rough first worlds for IA. It's not uncommon for the meta to be very limited in a games first season. More figures and more growth will help the game. For now, I agree, it can be frustrating trying to build a list knowing that anything you put together is playing catch up to 4x4.

you dont need 4 core sets to get the 4x4. I was able to ebay the missing pieces for about $40. (1 imperial officer, 2 deployment cards, 4 royal guard figurines, 2 deployment cards). Although, it might have been a better choice to just buy another core set to get more of the other troops.

Convince your friends/competitors that Rebel Sabs and Wookies are the new terror and then borrow their Royal Guards and Officers.

Vader is very competitive!

Hahahaha........ I love the mind games!

Yeah; I'm still not convinced 4x4 is going to win World's. It's going to be the list that counters 4x4 that wins (which unfortunately probably still contains multiple Officers and RGs).

I guess you guys all kinda missed the point I feel Han luke and Vader should be more playable then the non uniques.

Luke is a key component in the current best Rebel build (second best build overall). Vader is great and also very playable. Kayn Somos is very good and will probably see a fair amount of use at Worlds.

Han is terrible.

There are lots of uniques that get a ton of play. GIdeon, R2, Threepio; all in great builds. I'm sorry that some of the characters you like are inefficient.

And if you look at "Xwing" Luke and Vader were unplayable for a few waves. It'll take time and experience for the meta to find its stride.
