SPiFF 7
A large downside to a stormtrooper swarm is their inconsistent dice. Including a blue character allows Power of the Dark Side to guarantee the accuracy of the character and upgrade dice.
Characters:
- 2x First Order Stormtrooper (2x )
- 2x Nightsister (1x )
Upgrades:
- 2x Datapad for resource generation (2x )
- 2x Holdout Blaster for damage, action economy, and redeploy (1x )
- 1x Immobilize for dice control and shields (1x )
- 2x DH-17 Blaster Pistol for cheap damage (2x )
- 2x F-11D Rifle for damage and redeploy (1x )
- 2x Promotion for a cheap damage and to draw cards (1x )
Action economy:
- 2x Squad Tactics is ideal with all generic characters
- 2x Tactical Mastery provides additional actions
- 2x Holdout Blaster grants an additional action and includes redeploy
Dice control/modification:
- Cannon Fodder and The Best Defense... remove dice and distribute damage
- Nightsisters can re-roll dice
- Power of the Dark Side rerolls and provides additional unblockable damage
- Flank and Isolation remove dice
- Use The Force and Immobilize change die faces
- Nowhere to Run turns dice that activated Power of the Dark Side into additional damage
Resource generation appears through Datapad and Logistics, which allows Endless Ranks to activate when necessary.
Additional explanation for character choice:
Including 3 First Order Stormtroopers makes The Best Defense... a safer choice, but a single Nightsister would be focused too quickly to get much out of their ability, Power of the Dark Side, or Use The Force.
