So we have most of the key players for the First Order, but we’re missing two. Snoke, which I don’t care about. Then, there is Captain Phasma, who is sadly under developed in the movies. She’s supposed to be a tactical genius, while being army only so she has to be a character only. So how to get her into the game? How about this?

Have a card but not allowing me to upload it.

Captain Phasma (unique)

Imperial Only

When performing a Coordinate action target all ships at range 1-2.

Cost: 3

Cost might seem low until you realize she can only be used on an Upsilon Shuttle for the moment. With their cost you might only get 2 or 3 Ships at most, barring Epic play. But then the massive ship coordinating like that should be more than one anyways it makes sense.

Until they decide to bring another coordinate carrier. Then they’re stuck with how they design around her.

Great idea. However, imo it should be 2 points, to feel competitive. Though, it seems to encourage durdling in a block with the shuttle.

Captain Phasma Comics kind of establish that she doesn't know how to fly, sadly. In there, she brings TN-3465 along for the ride (spoilers for that comic at the end of this post):

She's actually a very capable gunner, so that's what she would do in a space-dogfighting game. They fly a TIE/SF, which, for balance reasons, doesn't have a crew slot (and you could argue that the "crew" is represented by the aux. arc). My own personal head-canon is that "Backdraft" is TN-3465, who we only know as "pilot" (which is what Phasma calls her) and the added aux-arc efficiency is Phasma manning the guns.

Anyway, so as not to get sidetracked, Phasma definitely can't be a pilot, she needs to be a crew. She also should, in my opinion, do something like

Crew, Imperial Only.

When attacking, you may cancel one of your dice. If you do so, the defender rolls one fewer die. You may not cancel more than one die per attack.

Cost 3

The last line is to prevent combo with Accuracy Corrector.

Honestly the more I read about Phasma, the happier I am she did not get much time in the movies. Just an annoying character bull******** their way to the top and shifting blame for her failings on other people.

*edit: see the spoiler posted by @Kieransi Phasma might be doing more harm to the First Orden than Hux. HUX!

Other than that, the targeting all ships at 1-2 it might be too much. You could be coordinating an ace + a budget ace like omega leader at once for three points. With the cheapest Upsilon you could fit Inquisitor and Backdraft, or QD.

That's what we get for playing Villains.

Captain phasma ability:

"If captain phasma is under any pressure she immediately folds and gives your opponent the win."

Captain Phasma (0)

Crew, Imperial Only

At the start of the attack phase you may discard this card to

Yeah, Phasma in the movies was all polished bluster with no bite whatsoever...disappointing to the nth degree.

in the box of fireworks, she was the sparkler ?

Crew, 2 points

"Any non-unique First Order pilots at range 1-3 that are attacking may change all focus results into hit results".

Similar ability for non unique characters as in Destiny, and add some First Order/Resistance flavour as that bomber card.

And maybe get some new life to the empire swarms.

She had a silver TIE/sf designed for her. There was an official Kenner toy of it.

In my headcanon she's QuickDraw and I repainted an /sf as such.

Well look at the three highest ranking members of the FO.

Kylo Ren, an unstable man who is prone to destroying equipment in fits of rage and is clearly a bit unhinged.

Hux, who got his position mostly due to his father having helped set stuff up but is clearly inept in his appearances on film.

Phasma, a woman who is brutal and will do anything to survive and consolidate her power.

(Spoilers)

Based off Snoke's comment to Kylo about Hux it is pretty clear that he wanted to have such people in those positions since their thought processes were so predictable that it made it easier to control them and know what they might do.

She could be the FO equivalent of biggs.

Captain Phasma

Crew, 2pts, SIDE A

Equip this side up. After the place forces step receive 5 stress tokens.

At beginning of activation phase if you have no stress tokens, flip this card.

SIDE B

Discard this card and receive 1 focus token.

----------------

This pretty much sums up her in the movies. Did f*** all for two films, then when she finally had a shot to "shine" it was a dud. Lol.

Phasma: Once per game, discard this card.

Heck for that matter she could just straight up give a free Coordinate action.

That way she isnt limited to huge ships or the upsilon atm.

In terms of the movie yeah she got dumped on. I dont know why they even showed her in TLJ, now they need another BS reason for her to survive that ... incident... so they can actually do something with her.

Regardless, if she ends up being a support crew (which makes sense for a master tactician, she wouldnt be amplifying the attack she'd be making the attack actually happen and/or making the enemy attack not happen) she better not be relegated to yet another "Assign tokens" crew. Imperials could use a non-token flippin' support crew (yes i know we have palp/system officer...palp is too expensive for most lists and system officer is complete garbage since its R1 and doesnt work on the ship hes on)

Reverse Biggs, If you take damage you must give 1 damage to another friendly ship at rng 1.

Or Crit as well

Here's an idea;

Phasma (2)

Crew, Imperial only.

All opposing ships within range 1 of you when you end your activation gain 1 stress token.

If the equipped ship has lost 1 or more hull by the end of the round, assign 1 stress token to this ship, then discard this card.

This would actually be a good card, just not for the first 5 rounds.

Clear stress 5 rounds, then, if you have no stress, one free focus a round.

Phasma should be opposite of Finn.

I can tell how old you are by the fact that you said "Kenner."

It's makes me want her TIE to have razor panels, where she just flies under a ship's belly and vents its guts to space!!

This card is too useful to represent captain phasma... 0 cost crew you could use to discard with effects that benefit from discarding crew.
She was far more useless in the movies than that.

I'm going to defend Phasma here.

She's a villain, so of course she's doomed to lose in Star Wars. Her purpose isn't to do cool stuff, it's to provide Finn with a foil for his character arc. She represents the Storm Trooper corps that he betrayed and in TLJ he gets to confront her directly in hand to hand combat. His 'rebel scum' line is him finally fully committing to the resistance cause. Whereas up until that point in TFA and TLJ he was basically self-interested and then only interested in helping Rey. What I'm saying is her character actually does do a lot, it's just in service to another character's story. Much like how Boba Fett was unceremoniously killed off in a slap stick manner after his usefulness to the heroes' narrative was exhausted. At least Phasma got a cool fight scene.

In regards to the actual topic of discussion, I want Phasma to be the Imperial bomb crew (much like Sabine or Cad Bane for their factions). Basically gain a bomb slot and a board wide bomb buff of some sort.
