Why would you ban Whorm Loathsom, Cad Bane, General Skywalker, Thrawn, or Gha Nachkt? All of them are far from broken. Loathsom breathes new life into otherwise near-unused pieces like Aurra CS, Durge JH, and 4-LOM BH. He's a great way to use living pieces in the Separatist faction like Tyranus. Cad Bane is the most expensive of the GMA/Double?Twinners, and fragile enough to be a risk to use. General Skywalker is a great Republic piece without being overpowered (especially the way his CE was worded). Gha Nachkt is the only reason I would play the classic Battle Droids in the Separatists, and works just fine. Thrawn essentially brings the old Grand Admiral Thrawn back up to speed with the current meta.

2. R2-astromech
3. Cad Bane
4. Dash Rendar
5. Captain Rex

(double and twin should have never been combined with GMA on anything but a melee attack character. Of course this means that there exists no melee attack character with double, twin and GMA)

[edit: I would have put dodonna on there, but there wasn't enough room given Rex should also be on the list]

Why would you guys ban Dash Rendar? I think Dash Rendar, Renegade Smuggler is WAY more dangerous.

1) ERC
2) Dodonna
3) Yodabuck
4) Princess Leia
5) JWM

But really, I'm not for banning anything.

Well, they seem to be pieces that go into almost every squad for their respective factions (R2 Astro, Rex, Dodanna, Reikan) which does seem to suggest that these pieces are probably substantially better than any of the 100s of other pieces available to that faction, so at the very least their existence hampers the playability of a large proportion of the rest of their faction and can limit squad choice.


For me, problematic minis predominately aren't ones that just out-class everything the opponent can throw out and are too difficult to defeat for their cost (ie pre-ban GOWK), but more often than not are the ones that so far outshine most other alternatives that they kill the playability of most of the rest of that faction's alternatives (and I'm not talking about the always unplayable pieces of CS, RotS, etc).

My list would probably be:

1) R2, Astromech
2) Captain Rex
3) General Reikan
4) Mas Ameda (especially before mouse droids existed as an option for non Rep/Emp factions.
5) Knobby White Spider (just because everything about this piece should never have existed, hah)

1. Mouse droids
2. Mas ammeda
3. General rieekan
4. Thrawn IE
5. Dodonna/R2 astro

mouse droids pretty much broke some commanders (TBSV...) mas ammeda was the first 'broken' piece (dont know if r2 counts). Rieekan broke about 50 percent of rebel squads...thrawn created that great power shift towards opportunist (not to mention that is CE is 'powerful', lol) ...couldnt decide between dodo and r2 astro bc both help their squads really great...im leaning towards r2 bc dodo can be counered...in a way.

1. All things GMA. "Greater attack" (multiple attacks and moving the same turn) and "Mobile attack" (move before and after attacking) should not have been combined, especially on non-melee pieces. Garm's CE is a better approach to the GMA idea, (but the half-speed limitation isn't necessary).
2. Mouse droids, but because of ridiculous activations that make the game boring to watch, and thematically absurd blocking. The CE propagation is fine.
3. Yobuck.
4. Rieekan
5. Doombot

#3 (Yobuck) just needs more counters -- Stuckuss and death shots are a good start. #4 (Rieekan) and 5 (Doombot) are just under-costed. I don't think they're "broken". Being a tier-1 piece should mean it's playable in a tier-1 squad. No piece should be so powerful/undercosted that it's a must-have in pretty much every single squad for that faction.

The # 1 - General Rieeken

It's simple he's easily the most broken piece in the game. Why else would every rebel squad have him? Giving all people on your team mobile and evade regardless of range is just to powerful. Don't forget his rediculous point cost of only 14 points

#2 - General Dodonna

Being able to control how many people you activate allows you to control the entire tempo of the game, which is by itself a game winner. Plus he cost only 9 points, it's no wonder he's in every rebel and new republic team.

#3 - General Obi Wan Kenobi

Soresu Style Mastery is just plain rediculious, no damage with a save of 11. Which gets worse with his master of the force 2 followed by the fact that he has force renewal. He also has a great commander effect, thats not what makes him lame though, its honestly just his SSM it's just to powerful.

#4 - Mas Amedda

Commander effects are limited for a reason, there shouldn't be a 8 point piece that makes them unlimited. If there was one he should be fringe for all teams, i think its completely unfair that the empire and republic gets to have all of there CE's unlimited for only 8 points when they all ready have most of the best CE's in the game.

#5 - R2 - D2 Astromech Droid

He got the name doombot for a reason, for only 9 points he can close any door and move any character thats adjacent 12 squares. Thats just silly how can r2 d2 move anakin or obi wan he's tiny? How come they couldn't make it fairer and give r7 tow cable?



If you really think about it these are the 5 broken SWM's pieces. Cad Bane is good maybe to good, yet he has his weak points. He has only 80 HP, 80 damage isn't that hard to do, you base him till he dies. Boba Fett, BH he only can shot twice thats not nearly enough with todays double twin, and triple twin. Lancer droids, there good yes, broken no. They only have 50 HP for a 31 point piece with 17 defense, you can kill these things before they can reach you. Yobuck, he's good at killing mouse droids yes, but you get AOO everytime he can't kill a piece and kepts on moving. True he has 160 but he can only attack each piece once so max he can do is 20 damage, true he has 18 attack so he won't miss much, but still its only 20 damage, plus he cost 51 points so he isn't cheap. Lots of people put mouse droids, but i disagree. people need mouse droids to extend the CE, mouse droids are every other fractions deformed mas amedda. They only make it go 6 more squares, not unlimited range, there no where near as good. Plus people get a lot of them with gha, so that they can have enough activations to be able to not let people that are using general dodonna completly out activate them.

I think that if you really think about it these 5 pieces are the honest trouble makers.
