The Force Users Awaken

By Rogue Dakotan, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

So for whatever reason I feel compelled to find a place for Diala in a skirmish list.

Luke Skywalker
Leia Organa
Diala Passil
C-3PO
Elite Rebel Saboteur
Echo Base Trooper

Quickly threw this command deck together:

Hide in Plain Sight
Son of Skywalker
Slippery Target
Knowledge and Defense
Sarlacc Sweep
Deflection
Telekinetic Throw
Stealth Tactics
Fleet Footed
Planning
Rally
Recovery
There is Another
I Can Feel It

Have you had any experience with Diala? What have you found works well with her?

A fabulous addition to this list would be this Skirmish Upgrade Card for Diala:

Proper Skirmish Costing

Cost: 0

This character gains 7 additional Health. (Usable only by Diala Passil)

That would make this squad effective. Otherwise, if you want to make a competitive squad, drop her for another group of eSaboteurs.

Redone to pull more command cards.

Diala stays. I'm painting her and want to try her lol. :P

Luke Skywalker
Leia Organa
Diala Passil
Gideon Argus
R2-D2
C-3PO
Elite Rebel Saboteur

I admire your gumption sir!

I'm trying Diala as well - and thereisnotry is NOT WRONG, she can be great, but it sucks to be down an attack.

You just have to be really conservative with her. She is NOT a tank who should be sent out into firing range, no matter how many deflections / stealth tactics' she has. I'm thinking I need to save her out of LOS until you can run her in to get that high point kill you MUST get with her defense die discard.

Great against non generics lists where you want to and have a chance to take down that key luke / leia / boba.

Hello,

I was playing a very close skirmish list:

Luke Skywalker
Leia Organa
Elite Echo Base Trooper
Elite Rebel Saboteur
Gideon
C-3PO
Balance of the Force
Diplomatic Mission
So to answer at your question, i think eEcho+gideon+balance+diplo than > rEcho+Diala:
- same number of activation
- more hp
- eEcho really better than rEcho and worth the difference of cost
- i prefer Gideon and Balance of the Force and Diplomatic Mission than Diala alone, for more flexibility and versatility of the list.
Your deck is imo very good in respect of your list, but take a llok on Lock on and Maximum fire power for heavy weapon trait... Knowledge and Defense: I think we can find better for 2 points.

I ran this force user list (with Gideon and R2) against this Rebel Swarm.

Just barely lost (F***in' reinforcements), but it was a close game and I had more fun with this list than my usual Boba & Company style list.

While Diala might not be as strong as a set of eSabs, the command deck pumping out Force User cards made her well worth it and really fun.

In one instance she used Sarlacc Sweep on two elite rebel troopers. First attack did 4 damage on one, and cleave 2 onto the other, then the second attack finished off the one who had been cleaved.

Then the first wounded guy attacked her, Diala used Deflection, and with her reroll was able to get a Dodge, which killed the attacker.

Overall very fun.

That was a hell of a game. Definitely s match up I'd like to try again. I need to replace Covering Fire with Grenadier

Yes you do.

I believe that was your first time using Leia. What were your thoughts? I loved how you could get extra attacks out of Diala and Gideon (who had great surges but often has better things to do than attack). She'll be a holy terror on maps that don't require so much splitting up.

Leia was pretty good. I feel like she'll die fast though, not under a maximum firepower attack either. Just regular troopers shooting her would probably end her quick.

That's the problem with most of the Rebel uniques, they can die pretty easy to even just one unit of Stormtroopers.

I've been messing around with a list similar to this, and think it would do really well, except against maybe a trooper swarm--- just to many attacks. I really like using 2x 7 or 8 cost Rebel units (Wookies, eSab, EBT). Which really makes it a tight fit. You can go Luke, Leia, Diala, 2x eSab, Targeting Computer.

That is really nice movement. Plus, Leia can reshuffle the Force User cards.
