Mira of Nar Shaddaa needs to lose Rigged Detonators.Rigged Detonators (specifically on Mira) has been a problem for a while. It has already required an errata with the result that it no longer works on attacks. Even with that change, when RD is triggered it still bypasses any shields/armor/beskar saves too, because of how timing considerations are handled in this game. However, even with this change Mira's RD is still restricting the game: when it comes to the annual process of selecting maps for the Restricted Maplist, we've often had to remove certain maps from consideration solely because they have too many Low Objects squares in important locations, which would allow Mira's RD to become too dominant and therefore skew the meta. These could be excellent maps if not for RD; in fact, isn't having Low Objects in important locations a good thing for tactical gameplay? Mira's RD turns a good thing (receiving cover from Low Objects) into a liability and thereby distorts the game.Posts #3, 4, and 5 in the 2027 Maplist Discussion Thread detail the suggestion I offered (to make RD inactive on certain maps for a certain season), but which was denied because this is an issue that needs to be brought up with the Balance Committee or Rules Committee. For clarity's sake, I do NOT think that the RD ability itself needs to be removed. Zam Wesell BH has it, and she is almost never used. The reason that RD is a problem with Mira is because Mira is highly mobile, is aggressively costed (unlike Zam) and is cheap enough to fit into many squads (unlike Zam). Mira does not need RD to be an effective piece. Her other tricks (mobile, agile, force points, Force Sense, etc, etc) already ensure that she is highly effective for 28pts; by losing RD she'll merely descend to a "good" rather than "super-good" ranking.

Killik Queen with certain force user squads is a bit of a problem with the damage stacking and movement range. The Army of Light as an example can have a Echanni Jedi charging assault and do 50 dmg hits with Twin attack, Cunning, Prideful and Quick Strike and then if 100 dmg defeats that target, she can rolling cleave and do another 100 dmg. The damage boosts are all undisruptable, so that is a problem that probably should be discussed.

Cobb Vanth and the Echani Jedi are both too cheap for what they do. Increase the cost on both.
Bo-Katan Kryze, Nite Owl Leader. The Jolt should be looked at. A +15 Attack x 4 attacks = NPE. Another option would be to make her a little more squishy. A 23/27 defense with a 15 attack, 100 hit points, Beskar'gam, and Mandalorian Vambrace makes her a hard target to crack. -20 HP, -2 Defense, -2 Attack, same cost.
