We may need more information, do you have every piece in the game? Are you looking at obsolete meaning for competitive play?

Very few characters complete obsolete another one. Like Kol Skywalker doesn't actually obsolete Wolf Sazen, because there are some things Wolf does better (most notably has higher max damage output with Opportunst), but Kol is just generally considered a better piece. If you go by that logic, you'll be trimming a LOT from your collection.

I can't think of any other directly obsoleted characters like the OR Guard/Recuit off the top of my head, but I think there are one or two more. Hopefully somebody else can dig them up for you.

Well I must say im flattered to be asked for by name, i have thoughts oh yes. This is a topic i take great pleasure in examining.

The example that springs to mind first would be that 3 versions of Vader (5 if you count both versions of ROTS Vader, but ill get to them in a second), were made pointless by Vader Jedi Hunter. So Vader Dark Jedi and Vader Sith Lord and Vader Champion of the Force (which came out AFTER Jedi Hunter) were rendered obsolete by him. The reason i dont count the ROTS versions are because they are good budget pieces, both are under 50 points, both have some nifty tricks and both have access to, two different Palpatine's for a force battery. However this is somewhat subjective so ill move on to more objective ones.

I think that Raxus Prime troopers replace normal stormtroopers pretty handily. For the same cost (5 points), you lose 1 defense, gain 1 attack and wallclimber. Id call that a good deal, plus they're open to most imperial commander effects so why get normal stormies.

There is no WOTC General Grievous that is worth using over GG Droid Army Commander. I'm sorry but there just isnt. He is too good, too cheap and bring too much to the table. You'd be a fool not to use him always (with droids that is). The only wiggle room here would be taking Scourge of the Jedi in a Rock type squad with maybe a Dooku and Asajj or Dooku and Maul etc... But in the WOTC era living seps were trash.

There is the classic example of Boba Bounty Hunter being the only Boba you should use. However i disagree heavily on this point, and since you didnt ask for a 3 page discourse on why there are better Boba's ill stay on topic. (Get whatever Boba you want they're legit all good, except maybe kid Boba and now with v-sets even that's debatable)

On the topic of C.I.S. both of the newer Asajj's from WOTC invalidated the original one, unless you're in a budget situation. In fact Strike Leader could be seen as a whole modernized remake of the original, even having the same CE only better.

In a striking exception, i feel i have to note that personally, i feel that no variation of Clone Troopers are better than the Base clone trooper. I can see arguments being made for the 501st Legion Clone Troopers, and the Clone Trooper Pilots but I dont know.

Thats what ive got for the moment, but ill be back after doing some digging.

Not necessarily, technically yes, but the R7 really just means that Rebel, Republic and New Republic arent the only factions with door control.

An Interesting predicament i just found in Sith. It can be argued that the Sith guard is better than the Sith Troopers, they're stats and base damage are weaker, but at 3 points cheaper (5 vs 8) you could squeeze a few more in. In the opposite direction for 2 points more (10 vs 8) you get the Sith Operative you lose, 1 attack and 10 damage but gain cunning attack 20 and they're still open to any Trooper commander effects. This isnt an absolute, but its an interesting situation.

Its hard to argue for picking original Shaak Ti over Jedi Master Shaak Ti
Same with Quinlan Vos Infiltrator > O.G. Quinlan.

Also i must correct myself. Arf Troopers are superior to clone troopers. 2 extra points for +2 to attack abd defence, stealth and Recon? Yes please


In response to General Grievous above me (btw, sorry that most of you are garbage )
I would argue to get at least one of each Vong piece just to have them since they're quite cool (in my opinion!) But he is correct that in the WOTC era the only viable strategy was Nom Bombs with stealth fringe (Kel Dor bounty hunters or black sun guys if im not mistaken)

You could very easily argue that MAster Windu from MOTF obsoletes Mace Jedi Master from ROTS, however neither are actually all that good or competitive.

There are lots of pieces that are obsolete, but it's relatively rare that a piece is completely 100% replaced because another piece is better in every situation. Tantive IV eclipses Rebel Trooper's stats and adds and SA for the same price, but Rebel Trooper is currently the cheapest filler available in a New Republic Resistance squad.

Dark Side Enforcer is eclipsed by both Sith Lord and Sith Apprentice. Better stats, cheaper cost, and they both have all of Dark Side Enforcer's abilities plus some extras.
