With the Heart of the Empire expansion that was just announced, we get the Driven by Hatred card for Vader. Do you think we will see a resurgence of him in the Skirmish scene? I would love to see some epic Jedi Luke vs Vader action. Such an iconic character needs to see more time on the table.

I think you will satisface! With the upgrade, at only 13 points, Vader have 3,5 actions per activation (2 actions + 2 movement pont + attack or chocke again). Don't forget the new force user command cards and the lists with the emperor. Good times for Vader!!

I test played him last night. he battled through obiwan and Jedi Luke. he was a beast. kept moving forward crushing figures at the end of each round too.

Yeah i just played my first skirmish with vader driven by hatred and... he is a beast. Actually with all the command cards that give you movement points and with zillo and unshakable he is an unstoppable tank !

In my game he kill jedi luke, gideon and 2 eRangers!! (With a little help by an eOfficer) and he end the match with 12 damage saving his 13 points

I'm pretty excited to see what these next expansions do for the Empire. Rebel and Merc have had their time in skirmish, it's time to get the imps back on that level.

It's time to get the most iconic character back on the table! this is the best thing. I was bored of swarm lists and repetitive combos!
