![]() ![]() Independent: Dodge 2 is a powerful ability, but it is more difficult to build around in Empire as opposed to Separatists. Here I am going to focus on where he fits in the Imperial faction. Kyle recently did a full unit guide for Cad Bane so you can read that article if you want a full guide to the new Cad Bane. Just like the other bounty hunters Cad Bane is now a Mercenary unit with the Rogues affiliation. Cad Bane also had some significant buffs: Independent: Dodge 2, Surge to Critical, a second Training upgrade slot, Danger Sense 2 upgraded to 3, and a 15 point reduction in base cost. List Building: Double BountyĬad Bane – Unit Guide August 2022 What Changed?Ĭad Bane became dual faction in the mercenary update making him a new option for Imperial armies. ![]() While Independent: Surge 2 is not necessarily worth building around it does help shore up Bossk’s defense on turns where he has no order and is venerable to focus fire. This extends his threat range and provides tons of flexibility. Then, in the following turn, he can immediately go first and do the reverse: shoot, move back and clamber down to safety. ![]() Bossk can now hide behind a building, clamber, move into range, and shoot at the end of a turn. This timing helps protect Bossk from taking multiple attacks. The best way to play Bossk is still going to be activating last one turn followed by a first activation the following turn. Also, unlike Boba (you lose the free aim), Bossk does not lose any attack efficiency when given orders. Bossk’s defense has always been lacking, but order control combined with his long-range help keep him safe. Independent: Surge 2 is the weakest out of the three bounty hunters’ Independent keywords, meaning it’s not worth building around. How to Playīossk’s playstyle changed the least between the three bounty hunters. Like all the Mercenaries Bossk can no longer receive orders from Imperial commanders and follows the Mercenary force organization limitations. Beside this massive 10 point reduction, Bossk also gained Scale and Independent: Surge 2. The main change to Bossk was a points reduction from 115 points to 105. This is reflected in the fact that he received the smallest buffs. While not as effective as Force Push, Whipcord Launcher is a great hedge against enemy force users.īossk – Unit Guide August 2019 What Changed?īossk was the most competitively viable bounty hunter before the Mercenary changes. Typically Force Push is the only way to get this effect. Whipcord Launcher makes it so Boba can trap force users and escape from melee with an undesirable unit. Also, he has one unique feature over all other non-force user units: Whipcord Launcher. He provides playmaking ability along with damage. All this together means Boba can function more as a center piece to an army. His upgraded dice pools and Making His Way in the Galaxy make him hit much harder once he closes the gap later in the game. A Simple Man and the Z-6 Jetpack Rocket both increase Boba’s range and damage during the approach. Now, between the new Integrated Rockets, Boot Spikes, and command cards Boba is also a consistent damage dealer. How to Playīefore the changes, Boba was primarily a mobile playmaker with some burst damage. For the duration of the turn any unit within range 1 of Boba adds a black dice to their attack pool. The final new command card, Rule With Respect, issues an order to Boba and two other units. ![]() It is also worth mentioning Boba can double move before this attack since it is a free action at the end of his activation. Boba can dive deep and devastate a cluster of enemy units with this card. The card makes it so Boba cannot perform any attack actions during his activation but at the end of his activation, you get a free attack against every unit at range 1 with two red dice, a black dice, Blast, Versatile, and Impact 1. The 2 pip, Making His Way in the Galaxy, only issues one order. There are very few character specific 1 pips that allow you to issue an order to any unit. This card is basically Ambush but with two solid abilities. The new 1 pip A Simple Man gives an order to any unit and either provides a free speed 1 move or extends the range of Boba’s weapons by 1 and gives him Marksman. Currently the upgrades that are included have not been revealed but his new command cards are already fully known. While this version of Boba is only playable in Rebels, all the new command cards and upgrades will be usable for both versions of Boba. The new Operative Boba Fett The Old and Wise is coming out later this year. The Mercenary update was not the only thing that gave Boba additional tools. ![]()
