Looks like we have a Lando, Asoka and a thermal detonator variant inbound for EaW.

Lando aka "Money Bags!" Love it!

come on 2 dice 15 points ahsoka, come on 2 dice 15 points ahsoka

Edit: who am I kidding she is going to be 14 18, its a 2 damage side with a 3 side with a pay a focus and a shield followed by a resource side..... (changed 12 18 to 14 18 Dont know what I was thinking basically its going to be be blue Baze)

Edit 2: no but seriously mark my words Ahsoka is going to have 11 or 12 health, a 2 damage side a 3 side with a pay either a focus side or a +2 melee side a shield side a resource side and an ability that has something to do with weapons. And Lando is going to be 1 ranged, 1 focus, 2 focus, 2 resource and 3 resource for 1 11 health and be costed at 14/18 as well.

Wait, why? I want Ahsoka to cost 10/13 to give blue hero another option besides Rey!

Well there is that as an option, but basically the idea is we have like 3 characters on Hero side that have 1 dice 15 points and not a single 2 dice 15 point character to pair them with, all of the 2 dice 14 point characters are support characters so they dont work with 1 dice options that we have and I would like SOMEONE to pair with them at 2 dice that you couldnt just pair with a 16 point character.

Yeah, I know what you mean! Poor Obi-Wan though. Also, the big expensive characters tend to like having both dice. But I definitely agree we need more characters in that mid-range who aren't just support-type characters!

well as of the meta I am seeing lately Obi-wan has replaced poor Luke and with Windu and K2-SO coming all I can say is POOR POOR pitiful Luke why was such an awesome character so overcosted and why is there so little card draw support for his ability.

where did you find this?!?!?!?!?!?

Stole it from a Facebook group I am a member of.

Ok. Do you know what it is a picture of?

unsure. It looks like some kind of catalog with the page numbers in the corners. Possibly the new ffg one they throw in with the likes of the Xwing and Rebel assault starters.

Ahsoka - I think that 2m is the 1st die side, the shield is the 4th and the 1r is obviously the 5th - I don't think she'll be cheap.

Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?!?!

I do find it interesting that landos die has a 3 for 1 resource side, which is actually worse than a straight 2 resource side (except in a few corner cases like C-3PO or electroshock).

Also as stated above Asoka's first die face is a 2 melee damage which means at worst the next face will be a 2 for 1, +2 melee or a non damage side (unlikely) so theres no way her elite cost will be 15 (assuming she has at least 2 damage faces), and less chance her standard cost will be 10 or less sadly.

yet another expensive Hero with Rey being the only pairing option it seems.

Boba Fett! And a Y wing. Then I can die happy!!!!

She may be elite 15 if you consider how close Chirrut is for his elite 16 (1r/+2r/2m/+1m/1r/-) for 11 health. Maybe (2m/+1m/+2m/1s/1r/-) and 10 or 11 health. Unlikely, but I am still hopeful she is sub-15 elite.

But Chirrit has horrible mixed damage faces as well as a significant drawback and he still comes in at 16 points for his elite.

Currently of the 57 available or spoiled characters every single one that has the first face of their die as a 2 black damage has an elite cost of 18 or more.

Sadly unless they undercost Ashoka as much as they undercosted FN-2199, or that's her only damage side there's no way she's coming in at 15 or less

She has no pupil/iris on her, makes her look wrong, I think if that resembles the card/dice I may have to call her "Chucky".

"Empire at War" booster in the ...er 2017" - So, September

From what I have seen so far this set looks like it will be ten times as good as Sor and Aw!!!!!!!

"The" September? I'm guessing the "er" is part of the word "Quarter." Could be "the 3rd Quarter" or "the 4th Quarter."

Fantasy Flight's articles on the subject say third quarter. Final paragraph of their most recent press release.

The way the dice are printed and the order in which symbols appear on the dice is consistent as far as I can tell, so we can guess at what the other sides of these dice are. For symbols they appear in this order:

1. Ranged
2. Melee
3. Focus
4. Disrupt
5. Shields
6. Discard
7. Resource
8. Special
9. Blank

Then for each symbol, the faces appear in this order:

1. Black, no cost
2. Black, with cost
3. Blue, no cost
4. Blue, with cost

Then for each pair of symbol and modifier, they appear in ascending order of Value.

Ahsoka: that 2 Melee is her 1st symbol, the 1 Shield is the 4th symbol, and the 1 Resource is the 5th symbol, which we can determine by looking at the orientation of her die faces. Assuming the 6th symbol is a blank, the other two symbols could be any combination of :

• Any Melee except a Black 1
• Any Focus
• Any Disrupt
• 1 Black Shield

Lando: That 1 Ranged is his 1st side, the 1 focus is the 2nd, and the 3/1 Resource is his 5th. Meaning the other 2 are 2 of:

• Any Focus
• Any Disrupt
• Any Shield
• Any Discard
• Any Resource less than 3 for `1

I'm sure he has at least another resource side, but the other is really a toss-up. I'm afraid that this will put another support hero character at the 14pt elite slot. But maybe he'll have 3 resource sides! that'd be fun to play around with.

Grenade thing (Ion Grenade?): The 1 Disrupt is the 1st symbol, the 2 Disrupt is the 2nd, and the special is the 5th. Assuming a blank, the other 2 sides are:

• Any Disrupt except a Black 1
• Any Shield
• Any Discard
• Any Resource
• Black Special

I imagine it'll have another special and a discard. But not sure, especially since I don't actually know what it is.

I just realized that if Ahsoka IS a 14/18 character she just pretty much replaced both Quigon AND Luminara. Since there is no real difference between 17 and 18 points right now in blue hero.

Just picked up Game Trade Magazine 210, and that's what these are from. I don't have space on my account to post pictures, sadly.

The article is just a montage of text from other articles on FFG's website, but there is a very prominent picture of cinnamon-bun-head Leia, so I'm guessing she might be a character in this next wave!
