Hi guys,

Me and my playgroup have been playing IA for sometime now, but we only play campaign mode. We take turn to who is the empire each campaign, and now is my turn. The thing is, it seems that we have so much experience playing with the rebels, that the empire annihilated, or at least it has been like this last two times, so I feel very pressured to play competitively with my imperial class.

I'm thinking of using the "Power of the Dark Side" Class Deck, specially for flavor, since we are in Coruscant. I need help to which abilities I should spend my exp. It seems that Embrace Anger is very good, specially with Sentry Droids and Riot Troopers. Unnatural Abilities seems good with the AT-DP, Palpatine and Maul, but I need help with the others, specially de 4exp ones. I'm inclined to choose Embrace Suffering because it seems awesome, but spending 2 thread seems a very high cost.

The other thing I have no experience with, is the Agenda Decks, could you guide me in which ones are the must have and which ones could align well with my imperial class?

Thanks!

Unnatural abilities is an amazing card, I would highly recommend it. I went with the other 4 xp card, and by the end of the campaign I was regretting it. Not that it wasn't good, but it would have been so much better if I could attack with a fully kitted out rebel. What can 2 threat get you? a stormtrooper that MIGHT attack? Those are my two recommendations.

Mostly against newbies, and a lot of the newest heroes have ways to recover strain even without Emergency Injector and Bacta Pump.

Yes, I believe so. Keeping heroes from using their abilities is great. And also, if you are going against heroes who do recover strain easily, if they aren't recovering strain they are recovering damage instead. I would rather then recover that strain.

Would love to hear more discussion on this point as I am about to face a murderers row of heros on Hoth, and picking the right deck will be essential.

Any other recommendations? I don't have any idea which agenda cards to get, do you recommend some that fit the class deck?

Also, it seems that with unnatural abilities and the one that revives a guy you want to go with big figures, like the AT-DP, is this correct?
