5 cost villain upgrade weapon. What are the best ways to play(pay for) this outside of overwriting?

Still not avoiding the 5-cost, but you get some other stuff for free as well.

Premonitions or Friends in High Places could also sneak it in if you splash in either Blue or Yellow respectively

The new weapons cash (yellow support) has a special that lets you play a weapon from your hand, decreasing its cost by 2. It has a resource cost of 2 to play the support and of course you then need to roll the special or focus to it. But with the right setup it could work and allow you to use on other weapons too.

And of course the other option is to switch it with another upgrade to play at a reduced cost. Or some combination of both. Use weapons cache or some similar card to play a cheaper weapon for little to no resources. When the Disruptor pops up, use the weapons cache again and switch out the cheaper weapon with the disruptor for little or no cost. Any reason that wouldn't work?

Thanks for the ideas! Side note: I can't look at the Pilfered Goods card without thinking of the the Seinfeld theme.

The upgrade is red, not yellow

Um, I'm wishfully color blind? I also harbor a desire to see IG played more. Alas, even in my own decks he loses out to Aurra Sing.

looks like best way to play it is play a 2 cost upgrade turn 1 and roll out looking for a resource, take your 2 next turn and override

With great power comes great cost. I'm sure some FN deck will figure out how to work this in.

I also what IG-88 to be good. He did get a couple more weapons this time around and the pig guard may keep him up a bit longer.

Starting team:

EBala

Ebazine

captain phasma

Round 1, "on the hunt" on Bala.

Activate Ebala and Ebazine. (5Yellow dice on table)

Then with last ressource remaining, play "Only business matters"

Remove all 5 dices, gain 5 ressources...

You are left with 3 card in hand, it could be:

-Only the rifle, or...

-Perfect hand and you got "Pilfered goods" and 2 rifles (imagine round 2 if no one dies).

-Activate phasma turn 1 with rifle

Rare but price less
