Great work here - as someone else has pointed out, I'll have to try out 0-0-0. My kids already hate BT-1 (evil R2-D2) with a passion. Let's see if they can get the same reaction to evil C-3P0.
thanks for the guide, i love blaise to put with military might because you reduce in 2 the optional deployment of troopers and since i play with all the expansions as imperial i pick death troopers and i can bring out the 4 of them for 6 threat or any other trooper cheap units
Loved the video! Thanks for another great upload 😄 P.S. I had a mission specific question in the Jabba’s Realm campaign and I thought you may know the answer! I mentioned you in a tweet, so if you see it and get a chance to respond, that would be awesome!! I’ll post it here too just in case you see this sooner! ⬇️ We are playing the story mission ‘Overcharged’ in the Jabba’s Realm campaign” and in this mission, the rebels have to retrieve 6 neutral, mission tokens, which represent explosives. They have to spend two movement to pick them up, and then they have to take them back to the extraction point on the other side of the map. We had the following question arise when we were playing and couldn’t find an answer to it: can the rebels carry multiple explosives all at once? Is there a limit to how many they can carry if so? I assumed that thematically a single hero probably couldn’t carry 6 bombs while simultaneously moving and shooting at imperials (unless they were small thermal, detonator’s, but the mission never specified). If there is an infinite amount that they can carry, I feel like the mission is fairly easy for the rebels to do. However, if they can’t carry more than one, it seems almost impossible for them. Do you know of any rules that would help clarify this question? Thanks so much in advance!!! 😄
Wow first tweet @ me ever lol. There is no innate limit on how many objects a figure can carry, it will say in the mission rules if that is the case. cross posted here for those on RUclips.
@@iacommand9185 thanks so much!! And that’s funny that I was the first to @ you on Twitter 😂 Thanks for the clarification and for responding so quickly! Have a good one, man! 😄 I have a bonus question that I may already know the answer to, but I want your input because you’d know better than I. When the rebels bring an ally with them, if that ally is defeated, do they lose the ally altogether? Or are they just withdrawn from the mission? I ask because In the last mission, my elite stormtroopers took out Luke Skywalker - Hero of the Rebellion. Do they still get to use him next mission if they want to? And keep him for the rest of the campaign no matter how many times he’s defeated? Thanks in advance! 🙌🏻
My Tier list for Villains in non-IACP skirmish would be: S: Thrawn, Vader (Driven by Hatred), Palpatine, A: Jabba, Hondo, Greedo, IG-88 (Focused on the Kill) B: Terro, BT-1, Agent Blaise C: Maul, 0-0-0, Grand Inquisitor, Bossk D: Dengar, Sorin, Kayn Somos, Boba Fett, Royal Guard Champion, General Weiss
Jawa's not unique so not a "villain" technically. You can add Jawas to your open groups immediately as soon as you buy the figure pack without earning through a side mission.
@@iacommand9185 Can you also suggest some not unique ones. For example ISB Infiltirators. Only top tiers would be okay. I am collecting this game to play with my girlfirend and I can only invest in the best ones (prices+ shipping+ customs are too much for my country) for campaign and skirmish. Unfortunatelly there are not wnough content for dark side. I am so happy I found your channel.
Really nice list! We started playing using imperial command with my girlfriend and we are having a blast. She really likes playing with all the figures we painted. I saw that some costs are lower in imperial commander. Are the villains getting any better there?
I agree in almost any point you made. The only thing i was suprised about was the ranking of 0-0-0. Have to try that close combat - any suggestions for synergistic imperial class?
He's just so cheap for only 4 threat, and you get him and BT-1 together for the same mission which effectively reduces his Influence cost by half as well. But if you can get even 3 conditions on the Rebels for 4 threat with him he's worth it, and he can often spread more than that. I didn't mention in the video, but I think villains in general are not great competitively, they cost 3 Influence just to try to earn them, and you still have to spend threat to deploy them each time. For 000, I recommend deploying him as part of a big group to overwhelm the Rebels target priority, as he is not overtly threatening with a 2-dice attack. For class deck, Nemesis is obviously great since 000 is cheap to deploy early and shares trait with Probe Droids, but Dark Side from HotE is really good with him, Supernatural Vigor, Unnatural Abilities, and Dark Resurgence make it really hard to kill 000 and helps him spread the conditions around.
@@iacommand9185 thank you for your answer. Yes, the deployment cost is really sth to keep in mind. Nemesis sounds fun when you can get even more heroes on the field bc of the storyline
Weirdly my first campaign I went for BT and 000, and 000 ended up being pretty useless. I guess it's an important qualifier that with how scary he can be, combined with his speed, he can be pretty easy to gun down early in the mission. I usually ended up bringing BT as my players were pretty skittish, but I can see 000 being quite effective if he can do his thing. Just thought I'd throw out the qualifier that 000 only really works if the rebels can't target him easily as he will die fairly quickly. Granted, if this happens, the rebels will likely spend most of the mission distracted and wind up losing on time, but it's worth knowing that certain rebels may know how to deal with 000, which is why I found 000 being paired with BT to be an especially powerful modification given that BT can provide the consistency 000 sometimes lacks. Feel free to disagree, but that's what I found in my campaign.
Could you link that podcast episode going over the agenda decks?
Thanks for reminding me, I'll put it in the video description: ruclips.net/video/QfTebNu8NdU/видео.html

Great video. I really appreciate your work here. Keep it up
Planning on doing allies?? Hope so!
I would really have loved to have seen this sorted in in comparison to the regular deployments, since that is what they are competing with.
Not really though, this is meant to inform your agenda card selection and influence spending. You don't get regular deployments from agenda cards.

Tier list of Agenda packs or Tier list of Rebel Allies?
