Yep, the Defiler actually goes well with a lot of Commanders. Extra Attack, Super Stealth, Mobile, etc. He's a bit highly costed for what he does on his own, but being a non-unique Fringe follower with Stealth and Twin, he can be boosted VERY easily.

It's currently worded like this:

Proximity Mines 20 [Replaces attacks: range 6; target enemy is mined. At the beginning of the mined character's next turn, the mined character and each character adjacent to that target take 20 damage, save 11 for 10 damage.]

The wording might get tweaked slightly before we're finished, but that's the gist of it.

Suggested mini? The Elite Sith Trooper?

As someone who made a Tyber Zann, I would love to field these guys. Need to posts the minor tweaks that I made those minis.

We haven't been spoiling RMs, but since you guessed it in the first try, I'll confirm that it is in fact the Elite Sith Trooper.

I know you just said you're not spoiling the RMs yet... but can we please have the recommended mini for Corran!?

There is only one possibility, isn't there? Duros Scout, clearly.

I think at least one version had Illusion on him, but we decided we didn't like the overlap of that with Absorb Energy, and just decided to not give him any direct defenses against melee pieces since he does so well against shooters with Absorb Energy (a really strong ability that we haven't seen enough of) and easy access to Evade. He actually originally had Master Speed over Knight Speed, as speeding his movements through the Force was actually something he was especially good at, but we decided not to give him the ability to move 14 squares and attack. With Knight Speed and Speed 8 from the K. Captain he can move 12 squares and attack which is more reasonable and gives him the same threat range as Jaina SotJ.

Against melee characters he generally has enough HP to stand with them for a round or two, and letting him take the 30 damage shot first means he can often kill them immediately after they base him. In a game I played using him just last weekend he went toe to toe with Mace LotLS and they basically just took each other out (Mace killed Corran on a riposte on the attack that killed Mace), with Mace moving in with full HP against a full HP Corran. My Dash helped by getting 20 damage through to Mace, but otherwise it was all Corran. Considering Mace is 65 points and this guy is 60 points that confirmed his effectiveness for his point cost to me.

Wow corran can squeeze out 40 dam and 22 att with Jon "Dutch" vander

Well, they were red. And outside of some Imp pieces that are red and melee, it was the only logical choice.

I will be doing just that
