Leia Lists?

By cbuss, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Leia is one of my lower tier focus units I am working on making shine.

I've been messing with using her with a heavy hitter she can push the extra attack from(han, drok, chewy) plus some spies.

There are some fun tricks with the below where you play really aggressively with drok and mak early to trigger debts repaid, then redraw it with Leia, then suicide leia to retrigger it.

You can get 5+ shots off with chewy if you get lucky

▪ Chewbacca
9▪ Drokkatta
8▪ Leia Organa
4▪ Hera Syndulla
3▪ Gideon Argus
3▪ Mak Eshkarey
2▪ C-3P0
0▪ Heroic Effort
-4▪ Wookiee Avenger

Does anyone have any favorite lists to play leia in?

Welp, I was wondering what to try today, I'll be going with a variant of this I think!

Thats a fun list. I tend to like pairing Leia with another long range shooter so that they can hit at a distance while having shorter ranged units prevent them from being rushed.

Recently I have been running Leia + Motivation and Ko-tun together. Haveing both figures move into line of sight is great.

Han + Leia with Change of Plans had my Han shooting a lot.. without activating. Went something like Han end of round shot > start of the next round, Leia goes first, she shoots + han shoots, change of plan han to leia, when its my turn again, Leia shoots + han shoots. Its what happens when Han gets line of sight to many things­.

That's insane with change of plans. You are sort of betting on them making a mistake and over exposing. Maybe it's a good way to chew through a few riots they thing you aren't going to bother with.

@HeliosLancer Tell me more about how this kotun motivation deal works!

how do you use change of plans with leia -> Han?

equal or lower deployment cost leia 8 : Han 12 or maybe I'm not understanding what your saying.

Activate Leia, Han activates and changes plans and then leia makes him shoot again? Hopefully 3PO is close by to try and help keep Leia alive (she is almost one-shot nowdays)

Yes, he is exhausting Han to activate Leia twice, since that gets him 4 attacks instead of 3.

@cbuss With Motivation on Leia, it is possible to keep kotun out of line of sight on your opponent’s turn, then on leia’s turn move kotun into line of sight with the motivation movement point followed up by a leia/kotun shot.

Its not used every round as a trick, but its fun to keep shuffling figures into line of sight to share a shot with leia. Or moving a figure out if the way so that she can get line of sight.

Im itching to try leia, kotun and CT-1701 together when the new set comes out.
