Alright normally we sit in a peaceful bubble of creativity in the customs forum aside from any major stuff that goes on elsewhere, but I'm interested in seeing some of the creative minds here take on the out-activate and Swap theme that has been in the limelight lately. However you choose to build this is your call, low cost Lobot tech or high cost faction-specific one it's your call. But design a piece that is the rock to Out-activate and swaps scissors.

With that vague description good luck!

1. The character must be canonical to either of the Canon or Legends continuities and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.

2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at least 10 forum posts.

6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.

You will have until Saturday, August 17th, 2019 @8pm EDT to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.

Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EDT on Monday, August 19th, 2019.

At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

An entry to simultaneously provide desperately needed help for Huges while countering the classic strategy of out-activate and swap:

Jen, a lot going on here with four new wordy abilities. I think Emperor is to game-breaking and is essentially a stronger Bastilla with no cost. Sith Tactician is essentially an optional Munn tactics broker which is interesting but not sure if it's the out-activate game as it seems to go more after Master Tactician. I do really like Battle Tactics and the Master/POTDS combo.

Kiki, I like the simple low-cost mechanic you have going on here and it definitely helps with the issue.


Gandalf, I really like the creativity here. Being able to get that extra turn combined with the master speed/leap Twin is thematically a hit and a cool counter. My only thought is the timing of the Neutral ability, it happens when the attack is declared but not yet made? What if this character was the recipient of the attack and it moves? Can it choose someone else? Does it get to finish the attack if defeated? Anyways questions aside solid idea here.

Caedus, Master of Fear is straight-forward, costed-well and fits this week's bill perfectly, great job!

Emperor shuts off allied commander effects. So you can't have any other commander effects in your squad.

I guess i would say. What is the build that is so devastating?

1. Caedus - Morrigan gets hurt by the high defense, Boba by Shien. The stop on non-unique swap is pretty fun.

2. kiki - Political intel is great but it will not have the crazy effect needed. Boba is out and about shooting, gets swapped with a piece in the back. Boba takes 20 and is at 90 life. I do love the design though and would love to see it against levitation. I think you would have to reword it. Can you imagine the opponent Sith Battle Manipulating your squad and the all of them taking 20? Maybe it should say "eif an enemy"?

3. General Grievous - I dont think that this will work for the sole fact that no one (hardly no one) plays huges. It pretty much makes you play huges and for it to work you have to replace turn..... So you have to get in position. I think it is a cool idea, just not enough to deter out activate and swap


Gandalf - I don't think the piece is strong enough to be considered a counter. What happens if the piece targeting him is across the board? If he loses Neutral at that point then the piece saved one round and you did not get to do any damage

1. Grievous

2. Jen'ari
