I was just browsing through Pojo's Minis of the Day archive (http://www.pojo.com/starwarsminis/motd/), and I was thinking it would be cool to have something similar running. Rather than start a new thread for each mini, I'm going to try and select a random mini or two each day and post it in here, and anyone who wants to can talk about it. This thread's going to end up a big disorganised mess, hopefully, but that's how it's going to roll.

I've switched to using a "Spinal Tap" Scale. A piece, that's strong enough to have a place in today's competitive 200 point game gets somewhere in the 8 to 10 range. A power piece - Darth Sidious, San Hill, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ugnaught Demolitionist, Mas Amedda, Princess Leia, Admiral Ozzel, Captain Panaka, Captain Tarpals, IG Lancer Droid, Luke Skywalker Rebel Commando, General Rieekan, Thrawn (Mitth'raw'nuruodo), Mouse Droid, General Whorm Loathsom, R7 Astromech Droid, Bastila Shan Jedi Master, Darth Revan Sith Lord, Kelborn, Supreme Overlord Quorreal, Darth Caedus Sith Lord, Admiral Daala, Talon Kardde Information Broker, Warrior Caste Subcommander, and Elite Republic Commando - Boss are the 26 that I've covered so far - gets an 11.

Here are some definitions for the power levels, supplied by Timmer B and TJ.
1 - Useless. In any squad, there is a better option to do the same thing. Waste of plastic, paper, brain cells.
2 - Unplayable. While not strictly replaced by another piece, in any squad (even at a casual level) there is a better use for the points.
3 - Casual only. Interesting enough that you might want to pull it out for a casual game, but it will make your squad worse - even in a casual game.
4 - Mediocre/below average - If these pieces are in a competitive squad, they are making the squad worse.
5 - Average - Still there is almost always a better piece to go to, but in the perfect scenario it could be the right call
6 - Situationally good. You might see this piece in a competitive game, but it's either a reinforcements-only option or it really only fits into one specific build.
7 - Barely Competitive. These pieces are not out of place in a Tier 1 squad, but they are not pieces you would build around. Probably need synergy to work well.
8 - Decently competitive - can be found in tier 1 squads, but doesn't necessarily define the squad type
9 - Solidly competitive - can be the key that makes several squads tier 1
10 -Very strong, Undoubtedly competitive. These are pieces so strong that you build squads around them
11 - Stupid. Power piece. Pieces that get complaints about being broken. Strong tech pieces that show up in squad after squad after squad.

So far I've covered 368/790 WOTC pieces and 312/706 v-set pieces - so that's about 45% of the pieces out there.

Day 1, the randomiser came up with Aayla Secura, Jedi Knight from Command of the Galaxy (http://www.bloomilk.com/Character/1336/aayla-secura--jedi-knight)



Quote:
29 points, Republic
Hit Points: 110
Defense: 19
Attack: 10
Damage: 20

Special Abilities
Unique
Melee Attack (Can attack only adjacent enemies)
Twin Attack (Whenever this character attacks, she makes 1 extra attack against the same target)
Ataru Style (+4 Attack if exactly 1 enemy is within 6 squares)
Stealth (If this character has cover, she does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets)
Synergy +2 (+2 Attack and +2 Defense while an ally whose name contains Quinlan Vos is within 6 squares)

Force Powers
Force 2
Force Renewal 1 (This character gets 1 Force point each time she activates)
Brutal Strike (Force 1, usable only on this character's turn: This character's attacks cannot be prevented and enemy characters attacked by this character cannot use special abilities or Force powers that respond to this character's attacks for the rest of the turn)
Force Pull 2 (Force 2, replaces attacks: range 6; Move target Large or smaller enemy adjacent to this character. Make an immediate attack against that enemy.)
Lightsaber Sweep (Force 1, replaces attacks: Can attack each adjacent enemy once)


This iteration of Aayla is a wonderful piece. She has great synergies all over the place, and she hits that delicate balance where she is good enough to be in a competitive squad, but not so good that she's an auto-include for every Republic Jedi-based squad. She has a range of great offensive options (brutal strike, lightsaber sweep, and force pull 2 are all very useful offensive force powers, depending of what squad you're facing), and with stealth and 110 hp she can stand up to a bit of firepower, but generally her lack of defense means she's balanced at 29 points. Mid costed Jedi are my favourite pieces, and this one's done just right. 9/10.

You could run her with:
- General Skywalker - momentum means she is hitting something for +14 30s.
- Commander Ahsoka - twin works well with Rolling Cleave.
- Quinlan Vos - synergy +2.
- Cin Drallig, Jedi Battlemaster - gives her a lightsaber style.
- GOWK - gives her +4 attack, +4 defense.

Feel free to chip in with your own thoughts/reviews - I'll try and post one most days, and I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts too.

This piece is a great Scrub killer with the ability to effectively do damage to defensive Tanks. Force Pull can really help the other shooters in her squad. All in all she is very versatile, I would say competitive even.

Yeah, I think that's a good summation - she's a versatile attacker - she has 3 attacking force powers, which are all situationally useful. I totally think she's good enough to be competitive, and she's probably one of my 10 favourite pieces in the game.

She works so well theoretically as a replacement for Dash in a Skybuck squad. Run Yobuck 26 squares, swap in Aayla, and use one of her 3 force powers with momentum. 60-damage sweep, 60 damage ranged, or 60 unavoidable damage.

Day 2, the randomiser came up with the Bespin Guard from Rebel Storm (http://www.bloomilk.com/Character/41/bespin-guard)



Quote:
5 points, Fringe
Hit Points: 10
Defense: 12
Attack: 3
Damage: 10

Special Abilities
Advantageous Cover (+8 Defense from cover instead of +4)


I was looking forward to having a bad filler WOTC piece to bash, and I'm sure that's coming sometime, but these Bespin guards aren't actually too bad. Since they're only 5 points, and can shoot, and they're Fringe and subject to a lot of commander effects (including some that are specifically just for them), you can do a few decent things with them.

They get specific boosts from:
- Lando Calrissian (Allies whose names contain Bespin Guard get +2 Attack).
- Bespin Guard Captain (Allies whose names contain Bespin Guard gain Double Attack).
Which means that you can make a reasonable Bespin Guard themed squad.

Since they're Fringe, you can load them up with all sorts of things - you can give them GMA in Rebels or Republic with Rieekan/Wedge and a Twi'lek Black Sun Vigo (which can get them to double/twin with a Bespin Guard Captain and a Czerka), you can give them damage boosts with Talon Kardde in an all fringe squad (although it's a shame that Lando's CE doesn't stack with Talon's), with Jabba Crime Lord and that guy who gives out Deceptive.

There are far better scrubs out there to build a squad around (eg Snow Troopers, Klatooinian Assassins), but a 5 point piece that can shoot and is subject to lots of boosts is still not a bad base, even if its stats are mediocre to start with. 6/10 (which is where they should be, since I don't think anyone wants Bespin Guards dominating the meta....).

I honestly think the Bespin Security Guard is way better in a Bespin squad hands down.

I could go either way, I think. Maybe it depends if you're planning to run Rebel Storm Lando - if he fits into your squad (ie if you're not running another straight attack booster like Talon Karrde IB), it's maybe better to go with the Security Guards, to take advantage of the rapport.

Bonus one for today, since it's such a slow day (at least where I am), Prince Xizor from Universe:



Quote:
40 points, Fringe
Hit Points: 100
Defense: 22
Attack: 12
Damage: 10

Special Abilities
Unique
Pheromones (Cancel an attack from a living enemy within 6 squares that targets this character; the attacker can avoid this effect with a save of 11)

Commander Effect
Allies with Stealth gain Accurate Shot. Allies with Grenades 10 instead gain Grenades 20.


I don't know if Prince Xizor was considered a good piece at some stage, but he's simply way too expensive for what he brings to the table. He gives a bunch of strong pieces accurate shot - both Cad Banes, Arica, Storm Commandos, ERCs, Tyber Zann, General Weir, Han Solo in Stormtrooper Armor are all good pieces who'd benefit from accurate shot. If his CE was on a standard 15-20 point commander, I think he'd see a lot of play, but it's on a 40 point piece, who has really high stats (22 defense on a commander is freakishly high), a decent defensive ability in Pheromones, but negligible damage output. Even with that 22 defense and pheromones, he's not rugged enough to last long in the front lines and doesn't have the damage output to make a decent clean up fighter, so you're basically paying for abilities that you'll never use. I prefer commanders who can do something, rather than just sit out the back chilling like General Rieekan, but Xizor is just a weirdly designed piece. You might be able to get some mileage out of him if you're playing at higher point levels than 200, but at 200 he's too big a chunk of your squad for too little return. 3/10.

1/10 is a bit harsh. You can make a double Grenades 20 swarm with him:

--The Sun Which is Being Black--
40 Prince Xizor
27 Lobot
23 Nautolan Black Sun Vigo
20 Captain Tarpals
16 Dr. Evazan, Galactic Criminal
9 R2-D2, Astromech Droid
5 Spaarti Clone Trooper Demolitionist
60 Gran Raider x15

(200pts. 22 activations)

I'm impressed by your ability to make viable squads with janky pieces, but I still don't think it's that good. You get shut down by Disruptive, by ABM, and by any kind of mass killer. I've never found Grenades very useful personally, but maybe I overlooked them too much; possibly it's a better CE than Accurate Shot for Stealth is on him.

I gave him 1/10, as he's just far too expensive for what he does IMO, but I guess you could make the case that he brings two reasonably unique CEs to the game (Vander has something similar for grenades) - so at least he's not totally redundant.

I have to agree, Xizor just doesn't have enough of a punch to be worth the points. The CE is pretty powerful, but with his stats I think he could have been costed around 30 instead. Though that was way earlier in the game where pieces were usually costed higher anyway. I think we could use an new Xizor or even better a new Guri to make the Xizors we have even better (with Rapport 10 for this version perhaps?) I give him a 2/10

2/10? You're all brutal judges.

Xizor predates my experience with the game, as I came in during A&E. I agree, he is expensive. Back in my day, I can recall seeing a few people running him with HanArmor, as that allowed for a near-board wide attack with furious assault, but even those many years ago, the +8 attack Han was gunning for wasn't enough to really justify the 40 point accurate shot bonus.

That being said, for theme and casual play, I think this Xizor is actually spot on. For what he is and does but he certainly isn't a junk piece... I would give him maybe 6/10.

Back in the day he wasn't bad. Accurate Shot was quite rare and pretty powerful, so his CE was excellent. He was also incredibly survivable; his stats combined with Pheremones made him exceptionally hard to kill, and it would usually take at least a few rounds to take him out. Now that damage output and attack values have ramped up a lot since Universe, he's not the tank he used to be. Also, 10 Damage used to be more significant; he could be paired with a single primary attacker so Xizor could take out 10 HP scrubs to allow the other guy to focus on the primary enemies. Also, +12 Attack used to be really high!

He was never quite tier 1, but back in the day he was probably a 7/10. In today's meta, though? He really is pretty near useless. I'd put him at a 2/10 or maaaaybe a 3/10, because Pheromones could still make him a pretty serious annoyance, and on the right map with the right support his CE can still be brutal (Arica with Accurate Shot can definitely win games in the right situation). But the times he pays off are just too rare and too situational, so he's not really worth the point investment. He's not useless in every single scenario, which is what I would reserve the 1/10 for, but he would probably only be worth being played in 5-10% of games.

I always liked Xizor, early on I used quite a bite. Now, his 40 pts is too high, compared to V-set
pieces.I still love to use him in an Epic 500 squad.

gotta love the dude!he almost nailed LeiaDrool

He was good with an Aqualish grenade swarm, or even a blaster for hire grenade swarm (~25 activations).

Han St/ithor/aqualish/xizor means running, grenades and accurate furious for some varied fun.

An accurate abyssian swarm was also pretty fun.

I don't think he ever broke into the competitive game for all the reasons mentioned; expensive and hard to utilize.
He isn't your normal commander, in order to get him to work he has to come out and get involved, using his pheremones and his reliable gun to get in the way of the other pieces. Obviously, that has its own issues with disruptive and having him killed but you had to be prepared to get him front and center before you lost all the pieces he was supporting.

The game has moved far past Xizor. He was fun when black sun pieces were reasonable but they are pretty dire by todays standards. I remember when The_Bith (tm) was one of my favorite pieces there were some pretty interesting squads out there.

one of my favorite, virtually unused, pieces. I won The TIle Wars Champs a few years ago with him. Arica packs quite a punch with him. Also so does the New Cad and han using furious assault.

also that 22 defense goes a long way when hiding.

The power creep is more about late WOTC, than about v-sets; I'm definitely in the school of thought that v-sets augment the top tiers, not supplant them - Thrawn, Dodonna, R2 Astromech, etc are still the best pieces in the game. We've gone over this before, but my opinion is that the power creep in the mid Wizards sets was far more significant than that in the v-sets. There's no way anyone would have seriously considered bringing Prince Xizor to GenCon 2010. I did edit my rating to 2/10 - I guess he does have some uses, and I do agree with Echo that 1/10 should be for worthless pieces.

Anyway, today's Mini of the Day is another one from Universe, Princess Leia, Rebel Hero.



Quote:
14 points
Hit Points: 60
Defense: 15
Attack: 8
Damage: 10

Special Abilities
Unique

Force Powers
Force 2

Commander Effect
Whenever a follower within 6 squares defeats an enemy, it may immediately move 2 squares. This move does not provoke attacks of opportunity and does not prevent the use of extra attacks.


I already started a thread about this piece last week, so it feels a little weird to talk about it again so soon, but we need to respect the sanctity of randomisation. Obviously the main reason to play this Leia is for her commander effect, and it's one that was unique from Universe in 2005 until Borsk came out in 2014, meaning she has her own little niche. Her CE is known as the lawnmower, and there were some neat things you could do with it:
- using Unleash The Force (you can bring her into New Republic, and can keep moving 2 after you defeat something)
- using Force Repulse 3
- using Lightsaber sweep with Rebel Storm Obi-Wan
- using it to move back and close a door after defeating a piece.
- killing a self destruct piece, then moving away so you don't take the damage.
- using self destruct (I understand it works on Kel Dors - they can move 2 after they defeat something).
I think that she's a good piece for 14 points, and that the main reason she gets overlooked is that the 20 point Princess Leia from Alliance and Empire is one of the best pieces in the game and is the go-to Leia most of the time. The v-set does help her get some more play - Versatility on the v-set Leia Rebel Commando means that she can be bought in for some matchups. 8/10.

Gunner is a very situational SA. The Gunner needs a 10 to hit an Ugnaught in cover. It's boring and bland. Go straight to the eternal bin of darkness. Do not pass go. 1/10
