Or restricted to Countdown. Proposition:
Learning Projectile Computer: 3 non-recurring charges
Setup: lose 3 charges
While attacking or defending, if more than half of your initial roll is blank, recover 1 charge.
While attacking or defending, you may spend 3 charges to change any result to a crit/evade.
Shield upgrade.
...But, Heroic is not restricted to Countdown??? 😥
Sounds like a great thing to faction-lock to me, creates a distinct faction feeling.
There's always Elusive and Predator for your green/red dice rerolls...
Target locks aren't faction locked...
I really didn't quite understand why heroic is faction locked. Actually I was pretty happy to see that coming first, because I wanted to put that on Wedge.
Actually, there is no really good elite talent for Wedge anymore. Nothing like 1.0 Predator or PTL.
I know that's a good thing, too, because some of these Elite Skills were just too strong. Apart from that they were strong enough to make other skills unusable.
Heroic on a tie (fighters or strikers) swarm could get out of control. I think the developers felt the resistance lists would generally tend towards smaller elite lists so they need more "insurance." I do think it helps with faction identity.
Rebels do need help though...

Wedge isn't a solo ace. Too many builds try to kit him out as one, but he rarely survives to the endgame.
IMHO, swarm tactics was made for him. Crack shot probably a close second.
Heroic is "Plot Armour", the upgrade card. That sounds perfectly suitable to be only available to Resistance.
For monthly payments of just US$9.99 per month, I'll let you put Heroic on any faction you'd like. For an additional payment of a mere US$4.99 a month, I'll let you waive the Talent Slot requirement of Heroic!
I wish I could put Heroic on Luke; he always rolls blanks.

Brilliant Evasion from wave 3 should help a bit. Two force for the price of one, and he doesn't even have to pay for the one.

Don't forget Shield Upgrade.
Complete all-in-one bad-luck-insurance, now faction UN-locked at a starport near you!

I'm not sure heroic is actually that great. Getting a roll of BBF or BBE is pretty common, and Heroic seems like it would be best in an environment where 2 ship lists are more common, as you can ensure you have focus tokens on defense. (Or on Luke, if he could take it)
(Or if Rey could take it to trigger on defense, comboing with Finn)
On the other hand, it's just a point, so it might be a tad undercosted?

It's not for three dice. Two reds (RZ-2s) or two greens (T-70s) or Rey + Finn defense.
As far as passive mods go Heroic isn't that bad but it is still passive mods. I thought 2nd was largely doing away with passive mods as a guiding principle.
I thinl its more a "lets be careful and not abuse it" thna a "they are banned and will never happen" kind of thing
