All of that goes out the window if 5th has Lock + Focus + 2 Force though. But the real answer is shoot the TAP before it gets to shoot you - they are very squishy when they aren't turtling up.

That assumes you have a 3 agility ace that has put some effort into defending itself though.

The kicker is taking the dice from Homing doesn't stop 5th bro from using his ability. If you have just a lock, that's a probable 3 hits, and then the ability can be add in later if the attack hits. If you have a Focus/Lock, of course, you often get 4 hits, and then add the crit from the ability. The damage ceiling is huge.
I'm not yet sure though if it's a paper tiger or actually scary, though I think it is the latter. Passive sensors is available, so he will get the lock. Lock and 2 force pushes damage of a 4 dice attack through a lot. So far you'd simply take 1 damage and be done with it. But 2 damage is too much to just take it.

Ability requires 2 force to use

But if you don’t use it on the four dice with a lock, that can be up to five results. I think that was the point.

I know. 4 dice with lock normally gets you 3 hits with force untouched.
His ability just gives you flexibility. Did you roll eyeballs? Use force there. Did you roll blanks? Use ability? Did you get lucky and get all hits? Poundtown.

whoops, read focus/lock as force/lock
Also, it's another 2-force pilot. 🤮
Order 66 all force users. I'll even give up Rey. Let's make tee-shirts.

It might be too narrow to be good, for sure. The real downside of him is that if he goes for a lock then gets targeted, there's not much defense for the number of points you put into him, and spending those Force on offense will really make him easy to kill.

I've been saying that for a while, last/current points cycle I really enjoyed playing resistance, but i always felt like i was working way harder than when i just bought force to the table.

Force Doritos. Replacing PTL with Force adds cool original flavor.
I've been thinking about how to Order 66 and the only things which I can come up with are pricing them painfully high (unlikely) or control elements being good (OMGNO).

When wave 3 dropped I was sitting on some store credit. I was close to buying what I needed to run 3 Jedi. I chose to get some z95s and a Fang.
I regret nothing 😬
On the brightside, the game is healthier than it was at the same time last year, or even 11 months ago.
Word on the street is that a lot of force users are getting axed in the Hyperspace Format rotation!
Yeah, I'm not concerned right now. Save that for next week after the 9th

if we tax the force users, we can guarantee a long, and comfortable game for all generics.
