Vader/Palp command deck

By Darth evil, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

i'm at an impass with my command deck, i have 1 point remaining and i can't decide so i seek my fellow Imperial assaulter's advice

heres what i have

New Orders,Call the vanguard,Force Surge,Single Purpose,Armed Escort,Brace for Impact,Tough Luck,Stealth Tactics,Negation,Face to Face,Take Initiative,Planning,Force Rush,Deadly Precision.

i was thinking Force Jump or Jump jets, but then Deathblow could be useful or Deflection or Camoflage, urrgggg so many choices

I just played Vader/Palp at a regional. Force Jump is huge for movement but you need to decide if you want to be aggressive with movement cards or defensive with blocking or defensive cards. Then deciding how many trooper/vehicle cards to use. It’s truly maddening. The worst part is you never get enough as an Inperial player but it’s still a fun game.

i 2nd Brett.

I’m a recent gameagainst DT, I was too aggressive with Ahsoka round one and jumped out to attack someone and then moved back, making sure I was 5 spaces away from Vader (and I had negation for most of the other movement cards). He moved up four, dropped Dark Energy on Ahsoka, and then did 10 damage to her with his attack, killing her with his EoR Force Choke.

A unnegateable card that can mess with your opponent’s spacing and do a damage (perhaps just using it to kill a figure with one health left) that also doesn’t take an action can cause a huge swing.

I’d also make space for Pummel in there, especially if you’re taking Force Rush, but that’s just me.
