Zeb Orrelius (sp?) just got better because of this; he is a pretty good counter to Boba Fett. If there is some upgrade you can have on any ship, Zeb would be the place to put it. Kanan, for example.

Well, why would you even put upgrades on Zebb shuttle anyway?

Also if Zeb takes a hull damage he has 1hp left. You're not going to enjoy that Kanaan for much longer.

gay... im no imperial lover... but a 1 pt card destroying an 8 pt emperor card is OP and bull, not to mention my r2-d2

Really? All this hyperbole over a one use card that could remove 1 card from the game IF it hits and IF it scores a crit...

The answer surely is - as with any other strong ship/combination - go for it first and take it out before the attack can happen, avoid it entirely or not worry about losing the card and play on...

And, out of interest, what about the card is 'gay'? I don't see any sodomy in the artwork... Unless you are using 'gay' in a derogatory manner in which case, as gay man I take offence - why not called it a 'jew' card? Or a 'spastic' card? Idiot.

Classy.

And it's not Op.

Is it just me, or dies Boba feel like a card that arrived too late?

I mean it was designed by Paul Heaver, which means he likely did it aftet last year's worlds, correct? At that point the meta was full of Fat Hans and Decimators.

Boba seems almost tailor fit to fight fat ships with way more hull than shields except there aren't that many around anymore.

I have a feeling this may be the most over rated card since Greedo. Sure the effect looks great, but either you jump through hoops (I.e. Points) to proc the effect on a ship, or you don't and wait for the appropriate moment to trigger it (lots of conditions pending) by which time the ship is essentially half dead already.

Take the obligatory Emperor reference everyone is raving about. If you are lucky and the first face up damage card is it's first hull point you are already pretty close to killing the shuttle, and thus Palpatine already. Ditto for Soontir Fel. You just did a Crit to Fel, well then he is all but dead already. I can see some utility in getting rid of R2-D2 or other regenerators I suppose.

Soontir on one or two HP is still deadly and can stay alive for a long time if the player knows what he's doing. I'd say getting rid of his PtL is good extra insurance.

Boba Fett might also win the award of "hardest to visualize card."

So, a Firespray puts a crit on the Ghost and Dr. Bob A. Fett kind of just crawls over there and cuts out the EPT part of your pilot?

I got this one: He either puts a shot in the cockpit, dazzling the pilot and causing him to lose that EPT, or shoots off an important part, causing f ex a Y-Wing to lose its TLT. Easy!

This 1 point card isn't destroying anything on its own. You have to give up quite a lot to be able to use it, so I think it's balanced.

In fact, I suspect it's not as useful or game-breaking as many in this thread thing. I think we'll see it in some Scum builds, but overall it'll be a niche choice.

Anyone notice that Engine Upgrade on big ships are vulnerable to Boba? Rebel regen droids? Palaptine? HLC? R3-A2? PTL? Another Boba? TLT?

The choices that come with Boba are plentiful, but the key will be in determining what upgrade is worth the hassle of trying to remove. It is tricky to do and won't be done every single game, but having an ability to declaw a ship (on the way to destroying it) is not that broken at all.

Oh, I love this card.

As the game has gone on, more and more 'perfect combos' in cards have cropped up; in some cases these end up with enemy vessels that can be completely hard counters to other fleets (Fat Han could solo any 3-attack ship in the game, for instance).

Boba will now be out there, an eternal threat lurking to totally mess up your game plan. Only once per game, and only on a crit that hits (So no, this doesn't counter Soontir, even if it might have a shot at countering a Super Dash, Fat Han, or even critproof Chewie!), but it's enough .

If I have 1pt spare and a Scum crew floating around spare, I think I've found my new go-to card, just for the terror it will sow amongst my opponents.

Well done, Paul Heaver! This card is a beauty.

same with most Horns, Poes and Fetts

if you chewed through their defenses and landed a crit, he's dead meat already...

Not with Horns or Poes! Taking away those guys regen is huge when they often slip away to then return almost with full health.

I fly Palp + Aces/Decimators, etc, Boba Crew is fine and I wish Imps had something similar (a capture effect).

a critted Horn can evaporate >_>

So does critted poe most of the times

but yep, see your point here

So anyway against a Brobot do you discard the HLC, the Autothrusters or the title? Which is the better option?

Palpatine shuttles are an obvious target, but they also have lots of shields to get through.

Decimators and Shuttles have almost no chance of dodging AHM. Palpatine just became a coaster.

So anyway against a Brobot do you discard the HLC, the Autothrusters or the title? Which is the better option?

Depends. If it is B, take the HLC, C might want to lose ATs, but I am not sure on that one. Title is an interesting idea if it is early, but overall not the best option I think.

the answer is as simple as complicated:

depends.

depends on what else he's flying, what you fly, what remains, what the crit did.. most importantly though on what annoys you the most at that moment

Most often you'll want to remove the most points possible because that'll generally be the best upgrade. There will inevitably be corner cases where another upgrade might cripple them more, but the most expensive will always be a good choice. Like the Deadly Admiral said, take the HLC from B. In fact, probably a good choice to strip from either.

Agree here with "depends" however - i would think that the "go to" if there are still 2 bots on the table is the title as it takes an ability off of 2 ships...?

Wait, Fett is pulling off a sick Guitar Solo while Greedo headbangs?

OH GEEZ, WHERE'S THE REBEL BASS?

Its not overrated at all. Its a 1 point card that can single-handedly win a game by destroying an HLC, title, EPT, Palpatine, ect. Getting a crit through onto a 1 or 0 AG ship isn't difficult, especially when combined with AHM or Mangler. I wouldn't say its OP, but it is ****-sure a powerful card. How much it effects the meta will only be determined by how many players begin using it. Bossk or even a Mando Merc with Boba+AHM can easily anchor a list by creating a huge no-fly zone. The more Boba's on the table, the less Palp+Aces we'll see. And I doubt we'll see any Palpimators at tournies once this is released. Boba may actually be the biggest buff to Rebels, as Poe, Corran, and Dash have a much better chance at avoiding crits than a shuttle or decimator.

He doesn't single handedly win anything. But he's certainly powerful and can change your opponent's strategy, which is a very good thing.

By all means, throw 40 points into killing my worst ship's 8-point upgrade. While you're doing that, I'll have the aces tear your flank apart and then happily take them against your now ill-equipped large-base in the end game.
