Instructor Goran - formerly "only one release last year"-whining

By JadinED, in Star Wars: Armada

Wave V was released in December 2016, Wave VII in July 2017 and Wave VII might drop in March 2018. I'm kind of tired of the petulant "only one release last year"-whining. As far as I can see ist, there are three waves in 15 month... ... ... Seriously, guys!

LOL

Don't get me wrong. I want the TIE Interceptor-Howlrunner-Dengar-Instructor Goran COUNTER 5 as much as the next guy, but I'm looking forward to it regardless of when exactly it's released. I can still wait for 12 weeks... ... ...

I'm looking forward to the Raid Tokens (as granted by Jyn Erso and - I guess - the Mandalorian Gauntlets) as much as the next guy, but... ... ...

Is he gonna work on TIE interceptors? He has a heavy keyword, so is either counter to heavy squads or when attacking heavy squads only, so not every single counter will be 5 dice

Who knows. It could be "squadrons without HEAVY "...

With TIE Bombers and Decimators. Season with Dengar/Howl.

New meta build, you heard it here first.

On the plus side, the game is still alive, the company producing it is not declaring bankruptcy and you didn't throw money at a pre-release that you never saw (plus had to protest the credit card charge to get your money back.) I can deal with "only one release last year."

At that point howl is wasted points, only her and Dengar have swarm, and Dengar won’t have counter, points are better elsewhere

Add Zertik Strom as a 15pt, 5 hull, 2 brace, escort meatshield for Dengar instead. Plus he rolled like 5 damage in his last game on red dice!

(Noting that he normally does the square root of nothing when shooting)

and I have not yet got even one of each of the new ships. just the fighters.

He might also buff ships against heavy squadrons. I'm not saying it's likely with the counter keyword shown twice, but that could be because they want him to stack with QLTs.

Wow, that's an idea. The card could read "While a friendly ship is attacked by a HEAVY squadron at distance 1, the ship has COUNTER 1 or increases its COUNTER value by 1." ... ... ... Although I think the first part is too long to fit in the first line.

However, thematically Instructor Goran should instruct TIE fighter pilots and not antisquadron laser operators of the ship.

Wait... wait...

The **** you talking about?

Wild *** guesswork. :)

Another Idea that may fit the lines could be...

"While a friendly ship or HEAVY squadron at distance 2 is defending, it has COUNTER 1 or increases its COUNTER value by 1."

i didn’t think we had a screen shot of this card giving us enough information to try and fill in the missing text ?

The article doesn't have such a good resolution, that image was leaked along an MC75 spread in also High-res on the forums.

Here's the thread:

The card art shows a Y-Wing getting shot, so it's probably not a ship-boosting effect.

And Imperial counter squadrons is already a thing, whereas Imperial heavy squadrons / TIE Bombers really aren't. Makes sense to buff imperial bombers the wave after buffing imperial fighters.

Edit: also Goran was a fighter pilot instructor, so... there's that.
