The best thing about the new sets is that I end up playing against different factions all the time now. I started playing between Masters of the Force and Destiny of the Force. At that point, I was pretty much playing against Rebels, New Republic and Separatists in about 90% of the games, and I ran Republic all the time.

Now I see 8 out of the 9 factions reasonably regularly (I've still never played against Mandos), and all the minor factions have got way more attention.

I think the best old pieces do compete easily with the new stuff. I had a could-have-gone-either-way game against Sharron, where he was running Weir, Pallaeon etc, and I was running all WotC pieces. And I won the Hutt Regional final with a squad where the only new piece was C-3PO/R2-D2, who didn't actually do anything (disrupt anything, give twin, or bodyguard anything) in the final at all. It's when you weren't using the top tier stuff beforehand, that the v-sets don't make sense; our Save11 group has generally been pretty much in line with the overall meta, even if we never hit the crazy amounts of activations you see in top GenCon squads.

I don't think she's way overpowered - only slightly. She won GenCon, but if she were way overpowered, I think you'd have seen a ton more OR. The problem isn't so much that she's overpowered, though. It's that she makes the game less fun. She completely eliminates an entire class of squad type... similar to how Lancer/Yobuck eliminates low-HP trooper squads. There are still plenty of squad types that can compete against her, but a huge chunk (anything CE dependent) are just straight out removed.

I don't think she needs an errata, but I do think she needs more counters... just counters that reduce her power, not counters that make her useless. Any number of slight tweaks could have weakened her just slightly to where I would say she's balanced - one less starting FP, ABM costing 4 instead of 3, ABM ending at the end of the round (like Atris) instead of being able to stretch across nearly 2 full rounds. Essentially, so ABM can't be turned on quite so much. But counters can approximate those tweaks... make her spend another FP, or start with one less, or a FP that cancels Force Abilities at the end of the round. Stuff like that.

Ysalimiri is fine, but I think variety is better. Plus, Ysalimiri nerfs all jedi, not just Bastila. And I don't think we need that in Fringe.

Let's keep this more about V-set 4 and less about B----stilla, shall we? I think the debate for her highness should be reserved for another thread. We can derail the topic at hand with other discussions.

Awesome :)



Wonder what his special abilities are going to look like.

Bet there is a DND mini out there with a round shield that is just screaming to be severed at the wrist...

I'm just going to use this as a proxy

I test played embo and I really hope they did a major over haul on him. I was quite disappointed with what I tested.

Probably best not to. I will say he has been through a change here recently that makes him quite good. You'll have to just wait and see what that change is. We are completing new pieces every day so we should have pleanty to show here in the next few weeks.

Btw if anyone could make me a Custom of Embo I'd be glad to buy it.

Have I got something to show you guys! Ill post a pic on here of mine that I made when I tested him. Ill have it up by tomorrow.

my custom embo created last year.... now i'm eager to see the stat
