Hello

my opponent love to play with this monster!( 2 defense dice, 2 attack per activation with brutality + another one if a friendly miniature is defeated within 3 spaces) and i have big difficulty in killing it. What's the best way to defeat it?

thanks

Fabio

Shoot him with stuff until he keels over.

It'd be hard to offer anything else not knowing what you play and what else your friend plays.

If you can get stun through he's greatly reduced in effectiveness as he doesn't have reach like the Royal Guards, other than that, just what Don_Silvarro said, he'll go down to focus fire and he's a considerable investment in points.

(In case you have missed it, note that RGC cannot spend movement points between the two attacks of Brutality.)

Hi

thanks to all your answers

actually we play in family and we have only the core module + the rebel sabotator, se i'm lack of figures and command card:-))

ciao Fabio

Use the Sabs to stun him. Same as you would if it was Vader.

Today i play as skirmish with my son, as usual he use the Royal Guard Champion, i attack him with Luke, Diala and Rebel sabotators! this time i was close to kill him if only he does not nullify both the sabotators attack! Unlucky he comes with royal guards and stormtrooper, so he was able to survive and escape cowered by them.

I have a lot to learn about this fun game!!!

Sounds like you're having a great time Fabio

Elite Saboteurs are as close as you can get to a hard counter against unique hero beatsticks. Especially with Luke's re-roll and a Focus from Gideon.

That being said, it's tough to stand up to the Empire with just the core set. Rebs and Mercs seriously lack variety with that setup.

Also, make sure you check out the FAQ/errata document if you haven't done that already. Several unit abilities have been altered since the game first came out. While the Champion himself wasn't changed, changes to Royal Guards and Officers are very pertinent, since these are pieces that used to be incredibly good in support of the Royal Guard Champion.

If all you got is the base set and sabs. all you can do is try to stun then ignore him and kill everything else. Unless hes all by himself, Then kill him instead. Luke and leia with focus can do plenty of damage. If he rolls 2 blanks you might kill him in a turn.

If you join the dark side you can just fight him with VADER.

Like others have said, rebel sabs are probably his biggest weakness. They can do good damage and can stun. Stun will also stop him using his Executor ability.

Vader does well against him too.

Bantha's can be a pain too especially with cards like Crush. Any time you can do unmitigated damage (so he doesn't get to roll the two defense dice) is great.

Finally, HKs, they can out range him and they'll force him to reroll his good defense rolls.

I play RGC a lot. The only thing that scares me a bit is HKs and sometimes Sabs.
