Momaw Nadon, from Cantina Brawl





There are a lot of very useful 10 hit point pieces in the game - Mouse Droids, Camaasi Nobles, Raxus Prime Troopers, Geonosian Drones, Old Republic Senators, Rodian Brutes, and Ugnaught Demolitionists are all staples that have useful niches in the game, but who also can perform an equally important role of just getting in the way. It's always been good play to shield off your shooters with fodder, so that your opponent needs to spend a turn killing fodder to get to the attacker. Momaw Nadon's War Throat was made as a counter to fodder walls - particularly Mouse Droid walls - and he's a great reinforcement choice if your opponent is running 10 point pieces. He does tend to work better in factions with a movement breaker - an R2 Astromech or Ganner can get him a long way in a phase, since War Throat only replaces attacks.

Momaw is also interesting with Captain Tarpals in Republic where he can double war throat for 20 damage on everything, while he's also very useful for triggering Protective abilities. He doesn't totally solve spamming activations, since an opponent can leave their fodder chilling out the back just to get an activation advantage, but he does largely solve the problem of fodder walls and hurts 10 hit point swarms. Momaw is a very strong piece who's essential for a Lobot reinforcement box, 10/10.

He is legendary and super useful to the game! Love that area blasting effects, unless it's against my battle droids haha

I could go 7 or 8 on him. I think one reason I went with the 8 was that last time I played him was against Republic Commandos. It was an awesome feeling to strip off their Shields and smash them.

Mighella, Black Sun Bodyguard, from Scum and Villainy





Mighella, Black Sun Chef, looks a little underwhelming at first, but I think that's mostly because Alexi's Bodyguard is a red herring flavour ability. She functions just fine without Alexi, and she's primarily a decent melee interference piece for the Black Sun subfaction. A piece that can hold off enemy melee threats and deliver Force Lightning 2, a strong ability on a 27 point piece with renewal, is solid. Her big moment in the spotlight was her win in the New Zealand 2013 HamilCon tournament:



While she's lacking in a few areas - she can't make her attacks on the move, and she has no ranged defense, Mighella has enough going for her as a Fringe follower with Black Sun and Nightsister that she's worth considering for a range of different squads, 7/10.

Elite Republic Commando - Boss, from Shadows





The unique versions of the Elite Republic Commando were a strong addition to the game - with their Shields, their Coordinated Movement, and their access to Superstealth and/or Greater Mobile Attack, they've been a competitive factor since their release in v-set 8. The combination of the four Elite Republic Commandos is a very strong competitive base, and Boss is arguably the keystone with his Delta Formation Support, his Rapport, and his cannon CE. Delta Formation Support provides a movement breaker for the Republic Commandos, while ERC Sev's twin makes him an excellent recipient for the cannon shot.

This thereisnotry squad featured at FrostyCon this year, and was enough to provoke discussions of it being a new gatekeeper. I don't think it's overly powerful, especially given that it doesn't really feature an answer to tempo control, but it's certainly a tricky squad type for some builds to handle with its super stealth and Shields. It's not necessarily the ultimate ERC squad, as you can go a few different directions, but it's certainly strong:



ERC Boss is the central piece in a competitive build, providing a cannon shot and a movement breaker, which makes him an 11/10.

Saba Sebatyne, from Jedi vs Sith





It's been a design flaw from both WOTC and the v-sets that a lot of the big melee pieces are specifically anti-melee, and have suffered against shooters as a result. Saba Sebatyne is a case in point - with Makashi Style Mastery, Lightsaber Duelist, and Brutal Strike, she excels against other melee. Fortunately she is in a faction where she can pick up evade from Wedge, but she's still an anti-melee specialist. As well as lacking ranged defense, Saba also lacks the ability to do damage on the move; she needs help from a piece like Luke Galactic Hero for Greater Mobile or Anakin Solo Galactic Hero to gain Lightsaber Assault and Force Renewal. Saba also has Force Valor, which gives her a stat boost Commander Effect, while Force Push 2 is also helpful. But generally Saba is underwhelming for 45 points, and her attack of +13 is also a drawback in New Republic where there aren't many ways to boost it. Saba might be worth a look in a tank meta, but generally she needs support to function well, and there are better choices out there, 6/10.

A big part of the problem is that he is similar but much less than Kelborn. For only 4 points more, you get everything Dyre has except beskargam and loner (and it's been pointed out that loner is mostly a red herring), in addition to a whole lot more. Add 20 hp and cloaked (more than makes up for beskargam), +1 attack, relay orders, coordinated command, gauntlet knife, and the faction defining resolnare.

You could use both, but doubling up on cunning without accurate isn't usually as effective. Especially in a faction that has a scout that can do just as much damage with opportunist at the same attack with cloaked and 5 pts cheaper.

Decent piece, but falls in a tough spot between amazing pieces.

I'd call him a 7

Sadly, Momaw can rip this type of squad up. (had a shamed one squad for Mystery Map, and got Mawed down)

He's a Fringe Mando. You can get scouts in the Mando's that are cheaper and better. He isn't designed to be played in Mando squads, you can, but it wasn't the point of the piece.

Her not him. Saba is a lady.
