Krennic seems awesome.
You know what would make him even better? If Pulsed Ray Shield was Imperial.

And He is a good buddy for Jerjerod.

Krennic works even after destroyed, right?

Yes because the condition is already assigned, if imperials could hire azzmorigan, he could give the condition and leave

Unless the extra text on Optimized says it is ditched if Krennic goes down. I don't think it will, but do remember we don't have the whole card yet.

Poor guy. He does his job competently, and then he is killed off.

Just like in the movie.

Digging Major Vermiels ability, especially shooting at PS6 and 3 red dices. keeping people in arc might still be a problem :)

That's not bad, actually. And a Decimator can take both.

kinda curious how nasty RAC could have been if Krennic didnt have the shield cap on it.

+1 shield for him is...useful but not the end of the world. Big thing is the die spender on a fat turret.

That looks completely uselsess, am I missing something?

On Corran Horn?

Corran w/o FCS would be pretty lackluster.

His 2nd attack will have no mods unless his first attack didnt need it.

Only one copy of Flight Assist Astromech? Unless that s-foil title makes Flight Assist obsolete that's a really scummy, greedy move. They know people want 4 copies of that card. This pack is the perfect opportunity to include a few more.

Those are far and few. The oddballs who play with cards outside of tournament environments and don't like proxies. For the most part people have no trouble getting 4 copies of that card for a tournament, even if this would be tournament variable, they basically need their two and the two of a friend and that's it. Easy to get, even 4 couriers are no problem to acquire if the need arises.

A **** move would be to hand out another u-wing without enough fixes for the one everyone has, or hand out not enough PS1 x-wings to fly 5. They added here even the last crackshot some are missing.

Am I the first?

OH BOY!!! Is that... THE CORELLIAN SLIP?!?!

Bold prediction

If the defender has 3 or fewer total hull and shields remaining you may cancel all results, discard this card and destroy that ship. Do not discard this ship if you are Wedge.

Sounds about right. One-shotting Soontir Fel.

Check the pic, someone already pointed out there is only 3 xwing ship plates. If you want to run 5 you’ll be buying 2 of these and ebay 1 xwing card. FFG strikes again, glad I proxy.

Yup. Dual cards suck. I hate when you have to seek information about your opponent's ship across the table when it could be made with a token, visible where the action takes place.

Easy solution to that. Use the card as a token. Works like a charm with intensity.

There is only 1 focus token as well. I doubt that is all the focus in the box. Would be literally the first time that you don't get enough tokens for your ships. Now I wonder if they give us 1 Gold-Squadron and Bandit-Squadron pilots on the backside of those PS1-X-Wing cardboards, because I am hating FFG for the lack of those on their most wanted expansion. ;-)

And playing games with LWF on defender as well. I have to wonder if Krennic can make a case for accuracy corrected TIE/Adv.

I was just about to say I his. For 0 points it’s a great upgrade for him.

That would be incredible nasty. I think Vader would be immediately back in the meta. Well ... even more than he is already.

Not gonna lie, only including 1 copy of Flight Assist and instead putting in a card that we now have a million copies of from the quarterly kits is pretty ****ty.

They need some cards left for those kits. Like Flight Assist Astromechs ;-)

so would krennics condition be during the modify dice step? So you could use it (on vader for example) to strip a shield with a focus result or blank then modify the rest of the dice? Or spend a blank to strip a shield then accuracy correct to add 2 hits?

yeah they did a REAL close look at actually sniffing out potential synergies

Once per round --> no intentionally failing gunner for double triggers

Primary weapon --> no TLT, no TIE/D double tap

Empire only --> no QD

If only they were half as scrupulous with the other factions...

So we finally hit the YY and ZZ Target Lock tokens.

AAA is next.

"That's a AAA Target Lock!" or "I'll give that Target a AAA rating" . B'Doom Ching.

Yeah, you can choose the order. Say you roll two dice, get hit-blank. You trigger the condition to remove the blank result and remove one shield from the defender*. You then trigger AC to cancel all remaining dice, then add two hit results to your dice pool. Then the action passes to the defender.

*honestly, you could remove either result in this example since AC is going to cancel the dice results anyways.

What about a B-Wing? It won't regen the shield as an ARC would, but it as plenty... And it could have 2 with xtra munitions! And what about Nera Dantels firing those 360 degrees?

evil. I love it. Im doing it lol

I don't see anything in the FAQ that specifies what step 'when performing an attack...' is, but I'd assume it's before step 3 ('modify attack dice'), yes. So, sure, Vader with AC should be able to spend one of his two dice to do a shield damage, then cancel the remaining die to trigger accuracy corrector adding two hits.

(Note that you don't even really need to worry about blank or not - given the presence of agility dice and evade tokens and etc, I'd be perfectly happy spending a hit or even crit result to guarantee a shield damage)
