This box seems light on the figure count compared to past releases. Aren't there usually 3 heroes per big box?

This is a small box release. Like Bespin or twin shadows.

Added Hondo's cards as well as "Spectre Cell" and "Marked Territory"

All skirmish components should now be revealed

Oh, wow... that Spectre card... sad it wasn't the Boba upgrade, but still... wow...

Does this make the spectre team playable?

Chop 3 zeb 8 Kanan 8 Hera 4 Sabine 7 Ezra 7 Spectre Team 2

Balance of the Force 1 for extra Hunter, Smuggler and Force cards?

I'm assuming they only get the power tokens once but Sabine, Kanan and Ezra' attacks get more potent with free bonus attacks

What power tokens?

Wow i thought those were power tokens. They just get blanket boost all around. Interesting.

Other good 1 Point options: Doubt, Extra Armor, Motivation on Zeb or Kanaan (to set up the free attack maybe?). Heroic Effort is free so you always take that as well.

Extra armor isn’t unique. Not sure if you can use Heroic Effort with it. (?)

It's more probable that you can. I don't think Skirmish Upgrades are intended to be counted as Deployment cards for Heroic Effort, but the separation between "real" deployment cards and skirmish upgrades isn't quite total and complete.

• In a skirmish, some Deployment cards have the Skirmish Upgrade trait. Rules and abilities that reference Deployment cards do not affect, do not include, and cannot manipulate Skirmish Upgrade cards unless the rule or ability states otherwise.

Good to know! I think Extra armor can be quite interesting in this list.

Need to be sure about one thing: Does it mean that if you take overkill damage you still die? i.e. Palpatine gets damaged up to 16 wounds (he has 13 health), Second Chance pops up and heal 2 but it's still overkill -> Palpy dies right?

Besides the negative and 0 cost skirmish upgrades, Spectre team is the highest value card in the game in terms of value/point.

If you get at least 6 attacks off with members of the spectre team, and each figure takes two hits or more to kill, you get an average value of 6 damage and 12 health. That's approximately equivalent to bringing a 6 or 7 cost figure for 2 points.

Yeah but the chances of a game lasting 6 rounds is pretty unlikely. 4 rounds maybe and you have to have at least 2 characters left.

No, a figure can’t suffer damage greater than its health.

Palpatine would reach 13 damage and stop accruing -> step 7 if the attack is complete -> Palpatine now “would be defeated” as a result of damage equaling health so the effect of Second Chance triggers.

You can certainly get 6 attacks off by round 4

The damage/block is not an exhaust ability, so you can use it with every attack throughout the game

I misunderstood what you were saying. You're talking about extra defense, I was talking about the extra attack. I though Zeb was a beast before this and Ezra and Sabine could fit into a couple of Niche lists, but this is definitely a huge boost to the Spectre team. It would be cool if they did something like this for the Rogue One team as well, or if you could squeeze in Ahsoka (but that would be broken)

Added all Hero class decks, supply cards, items, rewards, agenda decks, imperial class deck and side missions

I asked Startactics IA developer to add 4 packs from spoilers. We got them in today's update. I pointed him to ToL spoilers listed here. We may get them soon, I'm not sure for the unofficial spoilers (creatures CC and Spectre cell) because sharing that ahead of release isn't fair from a legal point of view. If you guys provide me with an official pic on release day I'll forward it to the dev.

Is it just me, or is Wildfire a pretty damned solid hero?

Looks better than Tress that’s for sure...

I'm also getting word that there are 2 eDT deployment cards and 2 rDT, but only 1 rLothcat and 1 eLothcat.
