Why doesn't anyone use Leia Organa?

By Shadow345, in X-Wing

She would be better if it didn't apply to "revealing" a dial, and rather just made all red moves white. This distinction would allow things like deploying ships more interesting as well.

She is nice with a squad full of B-Wings because they have plenty of red on their dial, but still it's more of a "Fun game effect" than a competitive card.

The only reason I don't use her is the spelling mistake on her card.

???

Maybe it's too early in the morning still, but I've reread her card twice and I'm not seeing a spelling mistake.

Maneuver is misspelled. "Any ship that reveals a red manuever ... "

I think Sable probably had the best idea that he posted a while back .....spawning a proximity (or cluster) minefield in epic on T1 ;)

Because it costs 4 points, is 1 time use for a decent but not super amazing effect, and takes up a very valuable crew spot which the rebels would rather fill with one of their cooler crew (like c3p0 who is bitchin' in a crew spot, repeatable, and also 4 points)

C-3P0 costs how many points now?

Because they used the wrong splash art for the card. Metal Bikini Leia is the one that makes all the guys not stressed when they pull a difficult move!

i dont have the actual cards for that, but i do have the templates since i got 3 normal templates and 2 more acrylic. Considering i'd rather not buy THAT many ywings 5 is plenty lol.

I would love to do this and see the reaction on my friend's face. Though i still need the rebel epic ships....

Because they made her wrong, also no gold bikini.

Just put her in the Falcon instead :)

I could see myself trying this to muck up a standard game board.

True, but i really only play epic because BIG SHIPS ZOMG not because its amazing gameplay. In fact i loathe the huge ship rules, there 3-4 things they could change in the rules and NOT the cards to make huge ships pretty mean. Gotta remember these are corvettes and larger "large" ships. These ships are still highly nimble compared to the outright enormous ships behind them and tend to sport more anti-fighter tech as a result. Huge ships in xwing are so pathetic that they are either just eyecandy or are abusing some gimick someone found because its funny on a huge ship to do it.

Same thing goes for 40k. i play tau, and i field my giant robots more because GIANT ROBOTS than anything else lol. The Ta'unar is surprisingly docile for its size...lol...

Maybe try Armada?

i actually played armada first. Love it. Nobody else does though lol. Its been the better of a year since i played it because theres NOBODY that wants to play it around here.

Really, after Wave 2? That sucks, maybe with Waves 3+4 coming out some people be more tempted to play near you.

Leia came on a huge ship, and like a lot of cards her utility changes a lot at 300+ points. At 500 points she is an awesome steal because she's a lower percentage of your points, there's heaps more crew spots available, and the more ships on the table gives you more opportunities to use her ability.

Also, if you're going to be taking Leia then make sure you engineer situations where her ability will be useful. The surprise proximity mine screen is a good example.

Though, not really a surprise anymore... :D

The only one that uses her is Han. Sometimes Luke.
