I have seen people on this forum say a lot of cards are bad but not provide any elaboration. The over cost of certain figures has been overstated again and again when talking about the core game skirmish cards. I wanted to discuss Jyn Odan and hear peoples thoughts on her in skirmish and why they feel that way .

Her Skirmish and Command Card

I don't think she is over costed, She has good speed and while 6 health is low its not to low. 2 green die on a ranged attack means she has to be close to shoot things, I would say around 3 spaces with her surge for +2 accuracy and +2 damage allowing more oomph. Her other surge of a pierce and stun is a nice option to have as well. 2 Green means she hits right in the middle damage wise. Having cunning is really nice, and nimble has not come up to be a factor in the games I have played with her. This brings me to hair trigger which is awesome! Of course if I like hair trigger I am going to love Jyn's command card one in a million.

The strategy I employ with Jyn is pretty simple. Put other people in front of her to keep her alive. I typically am activating her later in the round so she cant be focused. I also keep her away from unique units typically she is not a 1 on 1 but rather a support shot and this is where her hair trigger shines for me. At the end of a round putting Jyn 1 space away from a figure attacking it and ending the round means as soon as that figure activates she is shooting it again and if they don't activate that figure Jyn can activate shoot and move to challenge another figure. I love this dynamic of hers and when you really want to eliminate someone one in a million can ensure it happens.

Her being a smuggler means cards like slippery target become more viable depending on who else is in your list.

I think I went on enough about why I like Jyn. Id like to hear from others why or why not Jyn.
