Knowledge and Defense

Building the deck for this was hard.

I tried this against

Bossk

HK

Wing Guard

Wing Guard

eTrandoshans

Under Duress

I lost pretty much half my deck to strain before the game was over. Missed out on a lot of stuff, but thanks to Leia I was able to pull Son of Skywalker back into my now tiny deck after it was milled.

Leia was fantastic.

Military Efficiency when used with Davith was awesome.

Davith was Vanished, but he still got to attack with Leia, and then Fell Swoop for a second attack. So Leia+Davith got me three attacks in one activation to kill a Trandoshan.

Davith's vanish is amazing when you can use it to block some line of sight.

All in all I lost most of my deck without being able to use it and still managed to come out on top thanks to Leia:

I had only like 1 card left in my deck.

  • Use Liea to shuffle Son of Skywalker back in.
  • Use R2 To Scomp SoS into my hand right away. (There was a 50/50 chance I could draw it)
  • Activate Luke to go Saber Strike Bossk with a focus
  • Activate Gideon to Focus Luke
  • SoS Luke to Strike Bossk again.

So good.

I like the idea of a Force User list, but don't you struggle with only 4~ish characters that can attack?

Well Liea helps with that a little bit, giving one extra attack per round if everyone is positioned right.

Davith usually gets to do two attacks on his go as well. I think I only made one attack with him that didn't trigger Fell Swoop.

And Diala's and Luke's command cards add a bit more attacks, though those can't be thought of as reliable, even though Leia can let you use them multiple times. Leia recycling SoS for me let me use it 2 or 3 times which was definitely a game winner.

It definitely required me to play very cautiously.

Here's a shot of the first round or so:

Davith was Vanished, but he still got to attack with Leia, and then Fell Swoop for a second attack. So Leia+Davith got me three attacks in one activation to kill a Trandoshan.

Remember- that if Davith is vanished, he cannot gain hidden from Fell Swoop. So, if you attack with Davith while he is vanished, he will lose hidden. It's a condition, and he cannot gain conditions while under the effects of Vanish.

Ah good point. We might have done that wrong but I don't think it made a difference in the end.

That's why I like to use To The Limit with him- because he can't be stunned.

Davith, move or attack, then Vanish, To the Limit, move some more.

that's awesome. I never thought of that.

He's quickly become pretty much my favorite figure to use in Skirmish.

I really like slippery target with him too.

"Aha! Gotch--"

"lol nope ima run away and hurt you as I do. :P "

Yeah, tonight I was playing on the Carbon Freezing Chamber, and Luke / Leia tagged Bossk for 8, and Bossk ran back around to his deployment zone from the Freezing Chamber. Then Davith who was just ending Vanish protection moved 9 to finish off Bossk, triggered Fell Swoop and was 1 point short from getting Gideon as well. Oh, and Davith was focused when he hit Bossk.

Do you not feel Diala is a tad redundant in this? Disnt seem like she adds much and I always think she's over costed

I like Diala. She's cool, hits pretty hard if she's focused and gives me more opportunities to throw around Force User cards.

Though the efficiency of the list might go up a bump if I just swapped her for some eSabs. Though if I did that I'd lose Heroic Effort. Though that's not a big loss.

Diala's ability to hit without defense dice is always useful. If nothing else it scares the opponent into focusing on Diala while the real threats of Luke and Leia are running around killing people.

I honestly feel that the regular trandos are the way to go, I think your opponent needed to swap one of the Wingguard and elite trando for multiple regular trandos. They all die easily but the trandos hit way harder if they can get close to you and put the strain and shotgun blast damage on.
