Regarding Luminara's ability, does this trigger before or after the attacker has already modified dice?

Defender goes first, then attacker.

"while attacks/defends" triggers the general timing or you roll > opp mods > you mod. Only wording like Crack Shot's "after neutralize" breaks this.

Gotcha. General rule of thumb: you touch your dice last.

R4-P Astromech is going to be the Jedi's get out of jail free card. A single stress token isn't too bad when you can just "lol 5 straight blue, boost + evade". Right now, Anakin with Calibrated Laser Targeting, R4-P, and Supernatural looks like he is going to be a monster right out of the gate. Now it's just a question of what you can bring with him.

I think Anakin will be really expensive, because 1) the option to equip SR at I6. 2) 3 force charges combined with a purple evade...

So he’s nearly unblockable and if he’s in trouble he can turtle ... wow

so he might be priced like SR Kylo... I guess

Everything else was already spoiled in the squad pack previews.

Yup. So you buy the single pack for four pilots and a different painting.

The squad pack seems to be the better deal.

I mean, unless you're planning to fly 4x D7B (pleasebe50orlesspleasebe50orlesspleasebe50orless)

R4 Astromech vs R4-P is going to be a tough choice depending on the pilot. I'm not sure if one is clearly better than the other, but R4-P seems to be more of an "in case of emergency..." button compared to the always on R4.

Agreed. The dependability vs versatility conundrum will have to be considered carefully. Some dealing with consistent stress, like perhaps Mace Windu, the regular R4 will probably be the better choice. Though that is assuming the R4 and the R4-P are the same price, but that doesn’t feel outlandish.

I really hope they don't factor SN into his base cost. I should be rewarded for taking the cheaper option and no SN; not punished because the pricing is railroading him into taking it. Paying a premium for empty slots is bad. That's how we ended up with the 1.0 Punisher after all.

I am pretty sure they just goofed that up. Some people who preordered have already gotten their stuff and same for some stores.

Thanks guys. Happy to see that's all cleared up now. Now I just need to hope all this flooding in my home state doesn't mess up my plans for tomorrow night. I'm in Omaha, so things aren't as bad here, but elsewhere is pretty flooded still.

Our FLGS can't seem to verify that their order is going to be honored one way or the other let alone this week. I got the idea that calls from the FLGS were the first the distributor had even heard about the wave. The FLGS was certainly losing the F in relation to said distributor.

My FLGS has had a lot of trouble with the distributor for FFG/Asmodee products in the last year. I've known the owner since before he owned the store and consider him a friend, he's vented to me about Alliance(the distributor) many times.

If p is 1 point always p. If it's 2 still probably p, your reds are the moves you most care about changing. If 3+, who knows.

You can’t change any red maneuvers on their dial, with either droid.

P gives you the option to destress on any of the Aethersprite’s white maneuvers, but only twice. R4 lets you always destress on 1 and 2 hard turns, but you lose the option to use 3 banks and 4/5 straight.

I can confirm I have all of my preorder in hand as of yesterday. That's both faction packs, the Infiltrator, Vulture, ARC, and Aethersprite. I didn't order a Striker, Z-95, or the new dial upgrades (because those have been a fiasco in the past).

I’m not sure Anakin will be a monster per se. SR on a I6 is currently 32 points (you can buy a RZ-2 Blue Squadron pilot for those points). CL + R4-P ups the points cost again on what is still a 4HP ship. 1.0 Soontir Fel good? Maaaybe??

If you can line up Anakins bulls eye, or knife fight at R1 he’s quite dangerous but I think he’s a bit weaker outside of those constraints.

Will be quite interesting to see how the Aethersprite lands in terms of points; I’m currently mullling over going Galatic Republic for them or Resistance for the RZ-2.

Last wave they were delayed for a long time, which ended up causing issues with some of the preorders that had them as part of the order. It looks like they may release as scheduled this time.

The official squad builder has the new stuff everybody! Seventh fleet gunners are 9 points, arcs start at 42, jedi knights at 39, v-19 starts at 25, 7b is 18, and calibrated laser targeting is 10! Happy list building!!!

Par-tay!

Looks like 18 for the 7b. Pricey, but anakin is 78 with it. Hmm

The Delta-7B upgrade seems to be scaled by initiative. Try out some other Jedi and you'll see.
