Star Wars Destiny: Spirit of the Rebellion Preview
There’s a new set of booster packs on the way for Star Wars: Destiny – Spirit of the Rebellion!
The Rebels (and some Imperial ‘heroes’) from Rogue One are making their way to Star Wars Destiny and they are bringing some team spirit with them! Here are a bunch of the new cards for the set direct from FFG:
via Fantasy Flight Games
Jyn Erso is here to help damage your opponent with her range attacks or her discard results. On top of that her ability will save you some significant resources over the course of a game.
Director Krennic is tougher than most characters and his ability means that if you control the battlefield, his die pool can be quite deadly.
The Emperor, however, is an army unto himself. His ability alone is going to cause people problems – every die you resolve deals 2 damage to your opponents characters that they have to distribute! That’s going to add up QUICK. And his die rolls are nothing to scoff at either.
And if you thought Palpatine was bad on his own, with Force Lightning he’s even deadlier. If you’re looking to play aggressively then keep an eye out for this combo!
Rebel Assault is a new event that works well with characters that really specialize with range damage. It’s a useful addition to those decks.
Never Tell Me The Odds is a great card and another new event in this set. Allowing you to flip a die to any facing you’re making sure you get the result you need.
The last teaser is for a new support card – Your Eyes Can Deceive You is a different take on the same idea. This time, if you roll a shield result you can exhaust this card to move an opponents die to any side! That’s pretty powerful considering a lot of dice have at least 1 blank..
These new Rogue One character previews aren’t the only ones in the set so be sure to check out the Spirit of Rebellion Booster Packs coming your way in the 2nd quarter of 2017!
