I proxied 2.0 Vader, here are my thoughts...

Kinda ironic considering force is sharply limited by tokens

But I doubt it. There'd have to be a clause in the rulebook that reads, and I quote "disregard all gameplay limitations because forcelulz"

Or it just could be the same rules of action chaining as before, but Vader is the only one able to do it.

It depends on the timing.

Plus. Saying dash rolls 1 fewer dice could be a case of just a simple misspoken number, trying to do math while explaining a concept on a video.

Mentioning Vader can chain actions with adv sensors, when that upgrade isn't even in the present game, is a deliberate statement. Much less likely to be a mistake.

Plus you know. Maybe the wording on advanced sensors is just wonky. Like the Falcon title. Maybe you can do normal linked actions as well, but only then, essentially functioning the same.

Adv Sensors is in the present game

But present game Vader only gets two actions during the action step (which 1.0 sensors skip)

2.0 Vader would work with 1.0 sensors because his ability triggers whenever he does an action, regardless of phase

Very likely they just confused the sensors

We hope, anyway. 2.0 Vader with full action suite during sensors isnt nearly gunner Luke levels of 1.0, but it's a bad sign

Ditto linked action sensors. Sensors + green manuever dodged the drawback of PTL, wouldn't be smart to repeat that same mistake in 2.0.

Thinking about it, though, I believe "after action triggers" are going to kick in after the adv Sensors clause. That clause occurs if you take an action with sensors, not after

Thinking about it MORE, forbidding additional actions during activation does not compute with allowing chained actions. Linked actions are LITERALLY the reason for the clause (what other additional actions would you take during activation? Just afterburners?)

TL;dr: designers goofed, they were thinking of 1.0 Advanced Sensors

That, or there is a half dozen different redesigned versions of that card rattling around in their brains and Vader works with some of them.

The new Force cards are gonna help seriously buff Vader and all the other Force pilots.

Because Vader doesn't need anything more, that would be overkill.

Are we talking about the same Empire that designed not one but two Death Stars? That Empire doesn’t need overkill?

You're saying that they aren't sure nuking the site from orbit is enough?
