Since the game came out I wanted to play a 4 trooper deck. I have found it to be really hit or 'miss'. Has anyone had success with it?

seond question, in a casual environment I have an extra trooper die. 4 Troopers are 28 points. Trooper die has two blanks and a costed side. How many points do you guys think a second die on a trooper would be worth?

I was thinking of a elite trooper squad commander with 3 standard troopers. He'd still be only 7 life. Not sure what my friends will say. Just wondering if that would put point out to 30, 31, or even 32?

I like Troopers and Sisters, actually. PotDS is great with both the FO's and DH-17s. I have a pretty high W/L record in casual games, and took 3rd at a small event (beat Jango/Veers in the final round). It's not top tier, but it's fun and can win games with decent piloting.

I see some variants online with Baka-Tik instead of a second Sister.

The main problem with 4x Trooper is that from a competitive standpoint, there's not really a reason not to go Trooper x2, Nighsister, Bala.

The game is still new, so the card pool is very shallow, and if you don't run Bala and Nightsister, you miss out on amazing cards like Backup Muscle, Hunker Down, Deflect, Feel your Anger and Intimidate. You caaaaan fill out a deck with just Troopers, but until we get more Tier 1 red cards, you're voluntarily giving up Tier 1 cards of other colors for Tier 2 red and neutral cards. Which is fiiiiineee....and you can play it and have fun with it, but you won't ever be all that you can be.

Think the 4 character decks work. Straight 4 trooper is fun, but not competitive. As others have said 2 Trooper, bala, night is best.

You can build an artillery deck, or you can build a fast guns deck.

With the artillery deck you are focusing more on supports. AT-ST, First Order Tie, backup muscle, power of the dark side, and supporting fire for example. You then have drudge work and underworld for resources. You might have one or two upgrades, but focus is supports; DH17, and hunker down. This deck also works with endless ranks.

The guns deck focus on weapons for the troopers and redeploy. F11d, and holdout. This deck will also be fast. Squad Tactics and tactical mastery. Not many supports.

I think a second trooper die would be 11 or 12; see death troopers. Also think natural six dice would be crazy good; potential 12 damage with no upgrades! So it could never be 10!

Hope this helps!
