Interested to see if this piece ever sees some action. I don't think he can be justified over Sabine in most squads until the rebels, or at least HOEs, get some attack bonus alternative to traps. Also a bummer that he doesn't work perfectly with Son of Skywalker, who seems like the obvious pair up. I'm a fan of the return of the Nunb rapport, but not giving nunb a boost or access to Hero of Endor seems like a missed op. How'd he do in play testing, and was nunb ever worth his reduced cost?
At effectively 15pts, the low stats make sense. There are plenty of non-unique droids to utilize all of his abilities on, just make sure to bring something tanky enough to use both Draw Fire and Repair on, because shooting with Wat should be a last resort. I've heard that he's best buddies with an X-1 Viper Droid ;)
A Fringer that's practically on par with other basic faction troops actually seems okay for the time. Obviously, he's not going to any use in a Republic or Separatist squad for lack of synergy, especially when CS and RotS have better picks. Minis like this feel like they were made to be drafted instead of used in a constructed format. Great sculpt though.
We have played this piece a couple times now and we all really like that it breathed fresh life into the Assault and Heavy Assault droid. Well done, and thanks!
I think this is a cool piece. I like his cost and all the tech he has. I am disappointed that his Levitation is locked behind HR, but I get that he's an HR piece more than anything else. Solid piece for HR, mid piece for regular republic IMO.
Some people hate Shien Style, regardless of the rest of the design. They may dislike Yoda being focused on Padawan synergy instead of being a standalone beatstick. Some people dislike the High Republic era, so that alone may affect their opinion before they even evaluate the card.
It could also be that some people expected a more traditionally "powerful" version of Yoda and don't value a design focused on support, positioning, and synergy over raw combat stats. The rating system doesn't truly reflect how effective or enjoyable a piece is to play.
Sweet piece, I love that it combines convention thinking with new ideas. It doesn't seem too OP but I also don't think you'll feel like you spent too much on her. I am really looking forward to trying her out
Even ignoring the Skiff aspect, Grenades 40 with range 12 is pretty good for 16pts after Rapport. Not sure about the viability of the Nikto Skiff, though.
This is a 10/10 piece IMO. She's simple, affordable, and she takes an older piece and makes him really good. She's (nor he) are locked into a subfaction, so there is a wide breadth of opportunity of lists to try her in. Really well done. This piece is great!
He does because he has the Lightsaber Deflect power. Anytime the character has a force power with the word lightsaber in it, they are considered to have a lightsaber.
I believe that wouldn't work for two reasons:
1) Setup (when the ability gets shared) is after the squad has been built, so Rapport no longer matters
and 2) Identical Rapports don't stack (for example, 100pt Palps and W Tarkin won't give a Vader -20 cost, the ability doesn't stack)
If I decide to pick Second Sister (Trilla Suduri)'s ability: Rapport (A character named The Inquisitor, Jedi Hunter costs 15 less in a squad with this character), does this mean that I can effectively bring in The Inquisitor, Jedi Hunter for free if I have Vader and two other Inquisitors?
No worries at all, I can see how my initial question had some presuppositions baked into it that needed fleshed out to make our situation more legible. Thanks for your response and the clarification.
You wouldn't get to make the Twin, on the natural reading of that situation, because the enemy is no longer a legal target for a melee attack. My answer was somewhat "hedged" because there are different scenarios, e.g. if you were using LS Throw in that situation you could still attack, because Twin Attack uses the same targeting rules as the normal attack, but then if you were pushed away and adjacent to another enemy (for example) you would not be able to use Twin.
I am not sure I follow: if I have twin and melee, and I swing on someone with counterpush and hit with the first attack, but I haven't used my second "twin' attack, and I get pushed back from the first, does my second "twin" attack go through?
Yeah I guess my question is whether or not the holocron counts as a character, which I think it does, but given there's a lot of nuance to the piece I wanted to make sure it does indeed.
The holocron doesn't say anything about it counting as unique. While it's immune to commander effects, Han's commander effect impacts han, not the holocron. So I don't think you can run them together without negating han's ce
If I have a Jedi Holocron on my team does that negate Han's CE of only having Unique Characters? My instinct is that the holocron is a character but maybe not.
all the Lukes from WotC can be boosted already with the Versatility and/or Hero of Endor SA's. Yoda is still good i think. The WotC Rebel force users with affinity are good with Senator Bail Organa and can be fit into a squad with Talon Karrde since they gain Independant Outfit with him.
Her being able to effect Force Users made pieces older pieces like Luke and Yoda playable again. I really think the nerf hammer came down too hard on her.
the errata was because she was too powerful with Mantis Crew. The change still makes her good with certain squads, but not with force user heavy ones. She works really well with spy/operative squads which was the goal since she is representative of her character from the show Andor.
Yes, if Luke doesn't have cover from something else. If the Gizka is the nearest enemy and all other targets have cover, the Gizka would be the only legal target.

It giving the HK-87 Bodyguard Droid Advanced Shields 2 has some potential for memes. I dig it.

Obviously a 10/10 piece. Auto-include for any pirates team
8/2/2026 10:43:48 PM (Updated: 8/2/2026 10:44:07 PM)
Well, that was a very fast rating... Why has someone given this a 1 so quickly?
7/24/2026 8:14:26 PM (Updated: 7/25/2026 2:46:46 PM)
Does Disciplined Warrior prevent this piece from using distraction if received from tulak
7/25/2026 3:04:00 AM
I would agree.
7/24/2026 11:45:09 PM
I'd say no, they ignore the effect of Distraction but can still gain the ability and it would work as normal against enemies.

He does because he has the Lightsaber Deflect power. Anytime the character has a force power with the word lightsaber in it, they are considered to have a lightsaber.
7/8/2026 2:00:33 PM
Does he count as having a lightsaber?
7/8/2026 12:21:16 AM
Correct- only a special ability.
7/7/2026 9:58:21 PM
Just to confirm, you CANNOT take a Force Power with Versatility?
7/2/2026 11:32:09 PM
Lightsaber is correct on both counts

7/1/2026 1:29:24 AM
Yes, a Holocron is a character.
7/1/2026 1:29:00 AM
Him or a character with Relay Orders.
7/1/2026 1:28:26 AM
If that enemy can still target Spidermando using the same rules as the first attack, then yes.
7/1/2026 1:26:19 AM
No, stairs (yellow) are difficult terrain.
6/30/2026 11:19:01 PM
For escape manuever, would a set of stairs which cost double movement, count as Low Objects?
6/30/2026 10:31:35 PM
If you counterpush and someone has twin, do they still get to use their second attack from Twin?
6/30/2026 6:05:58 PM
For his CE, do I have to be within 6 of him, or can i be within 6 of a mouse droid?

6/29/2026 8:31:40 PM
You keep both assuming the new Leia costs 14 or less.
6/29/2026 2:44:48 PM
Question on Versatility: if I drop to another Leia with another CE, do I get both CEs or do I have to choose one?
6/26/2026 10:32:11 PM
@Blah Blah Words- it's much easier to update a character before the card is printed rather than after.
6/26/2026 5:21:21 PM

6/26/2026 2:51:20 PM
So we can’t update pieces like Bail to have clearer wording, but we can keep updating this piece to death? Makes sense!

Why the errata?
6/26/2026 1:07:06 PM
extremely lame
6/26/2026 6:05:12 AM
Update #2 before going to print: Commander effect and Synergy now affect living Rebel followers without a Force rating instead of Rebel allies.
6/23/2026 3:00:20 AM
Cyborgs are living, so no.
6/23/2026 1:11:20 AM (Updated: 6/23/2026 1:17:35 AM)
Clarification, if I play Grievous on Tsmeu-6 Wheel Bike, does he benefit from Shielding Upgrades because he's a Cyborg?
6/18/2026 4:51:31 AM
Yes, if Luke doesn't have cover from something else. If the Gizka is the nearest enemy and all other targets have cover, the Gizka would be the only legal target.
