Force Powers
Force 1

- Jaq rerolling AGAIN for avoid defeat (Missouri regional 2012 - an opponents Jaq made his avoid defeat SEVEN times thanks to these guys). Jaq didn't need to be better.

Don't disagree.

It does make specific NPEs though.

-Rerolls vs Vong (like the Vong needed any more hate)

- that sloppily created crap-tactic self contained NPE called Darth Zannah. (She still doesn't win much, but they encourage people to play her)

- Jaq rerolling AGAIN for avoid defeat (Missouri regional 2012 - an opponents Jaq made his avoid defeat SEVEN times thanks to these guys). Jaq didn't need to be better.

Those aside - they are great for the Sith!

He clearly had luck on his side as well, but he also had holosid, so he used a force point nearly every time. I'm no statistician, but a nearly 70% chance to come back to life each time is pretty stupid.

Hey - I still won though. ;)

Great point! Sion LoP is Dumb, with recruits he's Dumber.

(See how I tied it all together there?)

Maybe her biggest problem is that Atton 'Jaq' is another Sith support piece in the price range, who is clearly even better than Traya, since he can shoot and has override. And she doesn't work great with Revan - she's not a big enough damage dealer just to drop in with swap - or Caedus who also has Makashi. So I guess her best bet is in a squad of mid-range pieces, like the Ryn Weeks one. She's still a really good piece though - there are maybe some unexplored possibilities with her.

Dooku, from Bounty Hunters Challenge





In 2012, the first two Bounty Hunter Challenge pieces, a Luke and a Palpatine were released. While they received a lot of fanfare and angst about their power level (http://www.bloomilk.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=11604 - where Sithborg sums it up nicely with "They are 100 pt pieces. They sort of have to be powerful."), they turned out to be relatively underwhelming at 200 points - Luke did make a Regional final, where he got pumped by Stealth and Blue in 10 minutes, while Palpatine didn't really feature in the Regionals, and they really haven't seen much play in New Zealand competitive games.

The next pair of Bounty Hunter Challenge pieces have attracted far less consternation, but at least in my book, they're a whole lot stronger. Defensively Dooku is a tank with Makashi, Deflect, and MOTF2, while he's also got some recourse for anything that comes in close with Reflexes and Riposte 2. While Dooku has limited damage for a 100 point piece with a simple Twin Attack for +20, he does have some additional options with the area affect of Chain Lightning and his Commander Effect which is tailor made for triggering Geonosian Drones - it means that Separatist squads can trigger Drones more than once per round, and means that they don't need to pack a Muun Tactics Broker to do so.

Urbanjedi has already taken Dooku to the Indiana Regional final along with 15 Drones, Poggle, San Hill, the BX Spotter/Sniper combo, and some tech. In my opinion at least, I think this is a very competitive build - Dooku's synergy with the 2 point pieces means he can get up to a decent number of activations, while the BX Sniper/Spotter combo can give Dooku some ranged defense and can help ping any Disruptive pieces.

Dooku is a really creative design, a 100 point piece who's not a heavy damage dealer per se, but who has a range of interesting options that create a distinctively flavoured squad. 10/10.
