Hello!

Could you help me with the following question:

Can I apply special ability of the "Force rend" (and similar cards) to discard a support or upgrade that costs "0" resources?

From my point of view "To spend" means to expend a certain amount of smth, so I can't spend 0 resources. I have nothing to spend.

I'll be glad to see your opinions.

Yes. Choosing Zero is a legit choice in Destiny.

Yes, it is like Vandalize, which FFG said you can remove 0 character dice to discard a support/upgrade that costs 0.

Hmm, already 2 "Yes".

Thank you. Vandalize is a good example. I'll take it into attention.

But it's a pity, that "Force speed" can be discarded by "force rend"))

Why shouldn't it? Rend is sorta niche, but can be powerful and would be a lot worse if it can't hit some of the most common upgrades(like holocrons or cubes). If it's a flavor issue, look at it more as they're being hamstrung or something :/

Honestly, I don't see why the force wouldn't be able to counteract the force

Force Rend is very niche as is, so not being able to target 0 cost stuff would be AWFUL

Do what the card says. Spend zero resources to discard a support which costs zero.

And why is anyone playing this card? At least Force Rend is hard to Force Rend......

I've seen some holocron decks run it as a counter to vehicles, which is cool since killing characters usually doesn't reduce their dice pool as much as a more traditional deck with upgrades. The effect does reminds me of the old EU though, Sith crushing a Y-Wing sounds like it anyways.

Been trying to get a Force Sensitive Outcast deck off the ground

Two with Piett always have plenty of resources to spare, so rend is absolutely perfect there (along with force wave)

Problem is the deck feels like it lacks damage output, but if you hate vechiles/mill I can't think of better cards than rend + wave

Could also do mono-blue with Tal (****** kylo) or yellow with Bala (twin shadows, vandalize, ll-30)

Outcasts have rend/wave/thow/push/illusion to work with so far, and Hate can be a powerful ally (not an ability, but triggers outcast and can be overwritten)
