(Re) Balance in the Force - Points Update
why do you think jyn hits like a wet noodle? you can argue she has the best gun of any hero.... I'm not seeing that at all. she also has the best melee of any non force hero.... I'm just not seeing it....

Yeah Ive definitely had her wipe royal guard squads solo with rebellious. If you play her activation timing well she is a beast
Ditto. I've seen the same.

Maybe because of how versatile she is? Compared to Han or Luke who will melt things and Leia going full support Jyn got a middle of the road vibe. Some games she just ran/dodge a whole army taking objectives and others she will die to a stiff breeze. Seems like she has lots of variance and it really depends on objective, board, and placement? Also if the rumors are true about Cassian/K2SO i wonder if she will get a buff from whatever would come into in their packet.
The other interesting take is airspeeders and if they are really good now or just not bad now. Seen now that it is breaks the game and others saying it is meh.

Her range 3 gun is decent, but she kills 1-2 Storms in heavy cover, which is annoying but hardly super threatening, even at 110 points. All of the other Rebel heroes do more damage at range, usually for less cost (except arguably Luke).

all of that had nothing to do with her offensive abilities

decent? it's the best range 3 Commander weapon in the game.
in light cover at range 2 her gun has a higher average than all heroes.
at range 2 against heavy cover she is arguably equal due to the low amount of die being rolled and the averages on defense die.
guess who else gets wrecked in melee... most non force heroes...
that can't be a knock on jyn

I’ve wiped a squad of full strength Wookiees with her. Last activation, engage, swing, play Rebellious, swing, Wookiees activate, swing = one Wookiee left to deal with next turn.

No worries, I got you. Glad you liked the article.
I knew opinions would differ on some of the takes. I've always loved Jyn as a character and am excited to get her on the table again.
