Wow. Guidance chips make Concussion Missiles and Proton Torpedoes really, really good.

I agree, Protons with chips on the cheap x-wings are now very good, but you still have to get the lock.

I know it's not the optimal EPT for him, but Squad Leader on Rudor could be a ton of fun.

A certain Z-95 pilot with tracers.

Deadeye.

That is a **** fine dial. Rudor isn't going to last too long to use his ability, but it will be interesting. Nice to see the V1 at 16 pts.

But Guidance Chips is the ordnance fix we've all been waiting for. Free Palpatines on your ordnance!!! At 0 pts too. I like how it adds crits with higher Atk, a bit of an extra incentive to use ordnance on the big attackers. Nera Dantels is going to be fun with Proton Torpedoes. Launching all the crits wherever.

I love everything in this preview, especially the last line:

"In the meantime, keep your eyes open for more Wave VIII previews and other X-Wing news!"

I wonder if his ability will trigger twice to TLT's.... during his turn, Target lock (get evade) get shot at TLT 1 Barrel roll PTL Boost out of range/in range 1 for shot two?

Really weird how they're including multiple ordnance fixes in what's essentially an arc dodger, but whatever, I guess we'll take what we can get.

Well, I am sold. I was already going to get one of these simply because I like the design, but I can see myself picking up a couple. 17pts for the title'd test pilot? Yes please

It's a cheap missile carrier. Debatable about whether it is better to take a Bomber, I suppose, but that doesn't change the fact that they can carry missiles.

Really excited Valen Rudor is just nuts.

Tryind to decide what this is better for - good 31 point arc dodger loving to stay at range 3 or cheap missile carrier like awing or z95

Wonder if Chimp Nera can be viable. Sure hope so.

I'm just hoping to get more of these cards without buying multiples of the Inquistor's TIE. Maybe we'll get a bomber/gunship for Scum in Wave 9 that will have more Guidance Chimps.

It's a good merchandising strategy.

Nera with Deadeye, Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, and Guidance Chimps is only 33 points and a serious threat to anyone who tries to arc dodge her without getting into range 1.

It says "after defending", which implies he takes an action following any attack (not a declaration of attack).

Which means, yes, The Other Baron will get two actions if targeted by TLTs.

Unless of course that was ridiculous and there were 2 more Guidance Chips in the Punishing One. :D

Help. My Jaw dropped so hard it fell off and landed into a crack and now I can't find it.
