Ravenge of the sith

By player2930637, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I will play this list for a regional turnament. What you think guys? It’s viable? I like the idea of Vader qnd Palpatine in the same list

- Darth Vader 18

- driven by hatred -5

- zillo technique 1

- Emperor Palpatine 8

- BT-1 6

- Trusted ally 1

- temporary alliance 1

- elite clawdite shapeschifter 6

- imperial officer 2

- imperial officer 2

Could be fun, but it's not gonna be viable for most missions. Only having 6 figures means it will be very difficult for you to contest objectives, and on 2/6 tournament missions right now you can lose 4 points a turn for not controlling/contesting an objective. that means your opponent just needs to take out BT and the Clawdite and you won't be able to really do much (especially on Nal Hutta, where BT's range is inconsistent and Vader will struggle to get close sometimes). You'd be better off getting rid of BT and the Clawdite and getting 2 sets of Elite Jets, in my opinion, for starters. Also Trusted Ally really further hinders your ability to contest objectives since you want BT to be close to one of your heavy hitters.

Looks much better :) You could have some fun force user/leader/vehicle symmetry going on. I would try out the new "prepared for battle" or whatever its called 2 pt command card (works so good w/ Vader in particular, or Palp too). There's some nice trooper cards for the jets too. I'm interested to know how it does!

Palpatine and Vader together are absurdly strong. I'm playing atm a list with:

Palpy, Vader+DBH, Zillo, eJet, eRiot, 2x rOfficers

But eRiots perform so and so. They are very good because they inflict weaken by just dealing 1 damage, true, plus by being melee you have more synergy with melee command cards and they can reroll 1 die aswell, but on the other half their damage output is pretty low, with a medium strike of 2 damage.

I was considering to either switch back to 2x eJet otherwise to change and try 1 Dewback Rider and a third rOfficer (to a total of 7 activations again)...what fo you think about that?

I'd go with double eJets for sure.

Not sure about 7 points for a e-clawdite. I definitely want to try Palps with Hater-Vader, but I'm told it's a bit greedy. Let us know how it goes.

Yep, i'm tempted, yet i have to say it's not bad to have a better sinergy with command cards (face to face and mortal strike used by riots is something actually impressive, then you can play Emergency Aid aswell which is not to underestimate)

But then you won't have access to the vehicle command cards as easily.

true, i suppose it can be considered as 2 different lists with different playstyles. I'd love to see them face to face on the field :o
