It's bullseye-only, which makes me think it'll only really be useful on high-initiative pilots with repositioning.

Anakin will love it. Angry Samurai Anakin will probably also like it, once he's stapled some afterburners onto his " " " "advanced" " " " spaceship.

You mean this guy?

Could you like the actual tread and not just the entire X-wing miniatures subreddit.

I can't find what you are talking about.

Whoops.

Coincidentally, I just built this list yesterday, with some other stuff instead of Ezra and Maul. Now I have an eight pointer bid for Hate. 😁

VCX-100 Light Freighter - •Kanan Jarrus - 130
•Kanan Jarrus - Spectre-1 (90)
Dorsal Turret (4)
•Maul (13)
•Chewbacca (5)
•Ezra Bridger (18)

T-65 X-wing - •Luke Skywalker - 62
•Luke Skywalker - Red Five (62)
Servomotor S-foils (Closed) (0)

Total: 192/200

I call it ā€œLegends Never Die.ā€

And If Hate is 5 points or fewer, throw on a shield upgrade.

This kind of list would be great if Kanan’s ability worked on himself. I built something similar thinking that a ship could be in its own arc :(

Still... Focus fire on Luke, Kanan can make up to 4 attacks lose a die, making Luke practically invincible. Focus fire on (reinforced, ideally) Kanan, you're only empowering his double-tap, for which he has a couple extra force tokens to spend as dice mods.

I'm aware it's probably not top-tier, but you can bet I'll fly Dark-Side powers on a Jedi as many different ways as I can 😜

Oh crap, I’m not getting FO. I have to wait for Servants of Strife to play with Hate šŸ˜”

Not that I have Scum Maul anyways, but.

I think that many non-FO players will be employing much hate upon release.

They haven't been mentioned yet, but I'm hoping there will be Light Side-only Force talents as well. Doesn't feel right for the naughty boys to get all the toys.

I think they’ll get love and underwheling shot.

Battle Meditation seems to be in on of the Aethersprite spreads (with a Purple Coordinate). I would assume this is Light Side.

Does anybody know what purple actions are going to do? Maybe you have to spend a force to preform the action?

I think Battle Meditation would be available to both Light and Darkside Force users. Sith that use pawns would be well advised to boost their potential to further the Sith's own ends... :)

Lots of argument, suspicion and fear in that discussion right now. The concepts range from purple actions regening Force Points on one end of the spectrum, to them requiring the spending of a Force point to use period (a double cost action) on the other end.

Overwhelming shot might kick up Ventress to viability depending on the points cost. It'll be nasty on Delta 7s and v1s.

I’m thinking this could really good on high initiative pilots like Rey, Maul and Asajj (as you mention). Without knowing any of the high initiative Deltas ability Anakin at I6 and Obi-Wan at I5 seem likely candidates unless something better comes along.

Stripping your opponents ability to roll dice is real good. This seems almost auto-include.

Lol let's put overwhelming shot on Kanan what could go wrong šŸ˜‚

Aww, man, I knew Hate would be mostly the same as Maul. He needs a Dark Side power he can actually get use out of.

Also, where is it going to say if something is Dark Side or not :-?

why would hate be good, I don't see an option where it would be good to use it

Quick charges the Force user equipped with it for the next round.

Maul and Dooku could both appreciate it with what, 9 health? Behind 1 agility? Yeah.

Edit: not to mention 3 force each, and Maul’s ability can eat up 2 per turn.

Good on Vader too potentially. The bigger the force pool the more likely you are to want to quick refill it.

I would disagree with this, i find it to be the opposite, if you have only 2 force you can run out of them more easily.

Interesting thought to put it on Vader with Baffles. You could then potentially do all your actions including the Linked one, and take a damage to regen all your force at the end of the round.

Dooku. In the Sith Infiltrator.

Taking one damage would only regen one force point through Hate, though. Two is better than one, but rarely worth taking damage on purpose, I'd think.

It'll see some use if it's cheap enough. If it's 8-10 points, though, I think people would tend to stick to SR. Still, the Infiltrator doesn't have access to SR, and with lots of health behind a single agility they'll be glad to get something in return for tanking damage.
