Yeah, no kidding. Even at the 150 point level, I think we'll be hard pressed to find really good uses for him. It'd be awesome if he'll work in 150 though. Need to start playing with ideas to see if there's a semi-decent B&B counter in all of this. At the very least, his Defense +Duelist will help him out a good bit against LV.

I do like the idea of using Maris with him though. That could be particularly effective!



Ah....that makes sense. It'd be cool if they continue that trend of how they design Force Abilities from now on. Obviously, the # in the ability name doesn't necessarily match the damage. You can tell this by looking at Vader's Apprentice.

Ah, but they did not mention Block costing 1.

150 poits Raven and Boba BH

Raven allows boba to move around a get all the shots he wants.

Granted two activations is extremely low, but it would be fun to run.

Probably because that ability is not going to get Levels.

Yeah, but do you really want to burn your FPs for your turn before you even get to do anything? I think that may be one of the biggest advantages right there. Revan will be beastly against JWMs in this regard. They will need 12s to hit him because of Duelist. He has Block, so figure that a JWM will only hit 50% of the time, and 50% of the time Revan will block that.

If you can Corrupt a JWM, then you force them (no pun intended ) to possibly burn FPs just to stay alive, and then they won't be able to Assualt or re-roll!


Oh, and I just thought of an AWESOME combo with Revan....and it's THEMED. This could quite possibly be the coolest, best working themed idea in the entire game. Well, I think so.

Revan + HK-47! Master Tactician helps you win init. When you win init, you move HK into firing position (w/ Revan's CE), then open up with Cunning Attack and move his sorry-defense-butt back into hiding! For me, that almost makes up for not being able to play him with Bastilla. HK and his meatbag master!

I agree with others that Revan's CE seems custom-tailored to make Sith Assault Droids better. I'd also like to use him with Sith Troopers, a Sith Trooper Commander, and Darth Malak. With the three CE's, the Sith Troopers will be attacking at +15 for 30 damage. Not bad for a theme squad. I don't think anyone will use Force Corruption when they can attack instead (if they can't attack for some reason, or they need the guaranteed 20 Damage, then maybe 2 FPs could be worth it).

I think the combination of Master Tactician and the crazy move *any* non-Savage ally CE will be Revan's most useful traits. How about I base you with Exar, or something Exar can swap into? I think I'll just move my X-1 between your shooters and Revan. Maybe Revan will ride the Skiff, so he can benefit from his own movement CE this time. So many possibilities.

In my mind, with a second Master Tactician in play, Han Solo, Rogue is now definitely a better choice every time than Han Solo on Tauntaun.

Rebel Vanguards are nice little guys. Rebels didn't have any good grunts under 14 points until now. With Leia, Senator, they are mobile Missile-launchers like Boba Enforcer--except you can get 3 of them for less than the price of Boba. Just need a good Rebel grunt that's less than 10 points now (Rebel Marksman, I'm looking in your direction).

I kinda fear the vangaurd more than Revan. That can be a LOT of 30 DAM missiles streaking your way, especially with Lando HoT to keep them alive.

Revan is very powerful, but he is beatable. He will wipe the floor with most Jedi, but his lack of deflect means he is vulnerable to shooters, especially the jedi hunters.....Time to dust off Jango.

Its like i said on the other boards - he is almost a contradiction. He is best run as a commander, but at 88pts he doesnt have much room for followers. SADs and Dark Masters are looking real interesting. Also, AAs hav a nice boost as do non-unique fringe cunning attackers.

Lobo you are so right! HK! Plus, I think that the E522 assassin droid might be better an some cases then the SAD's.

I also think that Guri would be an excellent choice for Revan. Though she can't make use of the +4 nonunique CE, she is still pretty awesome. Double Cunning Attack at +17 for a total of 40 damage. Guri can also make use of the movement before activation commander effect. For 25 points and her 90 HP, ill take that.

I don't know about this....Revan+Malak+Sith Trooper Commander is 159 points. That means you only get 5 Troopers in your squad (or 4 and 3 Ugnaughts probably). Granted it's not bad, but in order to combine fire or get that 30 damage, your Troopers have to sit out in the open. They'll die way too fast to be useable enough. Although, it would probably work great in games bigger than 200 points.



Really? Guaranteed 20 damage from 6 squares away? Possible future 20 damage? If there is an opposing Melee piece bearing down on me, I don't think I'd mind stopping a square or two short and hitting them with Corruption. Then they have to base me next round if they want to do any damage. And at that point, I'm completely content to just sit still until they die from Corruption. Ball will be in their court, and then they will have to try to kill me before they die. Of course, when they base me to try and beat the ticking clock of Corruption, then I'll just respond with a nice Triple Attack.

I don't know how great it will be against non-Melee pieces, but I think it definitely has some awesome possibilities.

I had the exact same thought.

I think the Vanguard will be used much more than Revan will. A Missles 30 swarm could be scary.

I think they did pretty good with Revan, though. I am not a big fan, but I think they got his balance of power vs. leader about right.

Vanguards + Leia HC
Vanguards + Lando HoT

Forgot to respond to this before:



I'm beginning to wonder (and I think someone has posted this before) if PROXY will end up having some sort of Booming Voice like ability, or that perhaps we are getting him instead of the Mouse Droid. PROXY's character in the game supposedly can make his exterior look like anyone he wants. It would make sense for him to be able to mimic another commander on your squad and either extend the range of the CE, or at least give a second bubble of 6 squares.

Oh dang dude...that's just ridiculous. You could play an entire game and never actually roll an attack. Only saves and init! It's a good thing the Rebel's don't have a character like RS Palps that lets anyone use FPs, lol.

Makes sense to have the CE range-extending character be Unique too, otherwise you'd could use an army of Mouse Droids to get unlimited range.

My point exactly.

Yep. I called it. Master Tactician.

Did you tell your friends you heard it here first?

Because the mouse droids would be too durable to be a liability?

my first thought was 4-lom BH for paralysis but i think this one works better.



he's a triple attacking beat who wins init 95% of the time. He won't need many followers.

Either that or it will take some digging to make him into a one character commander (similar to Thrawn in B&B where it just revolves around 1 ally).

I have some ideas, it is a VERY BIG shame that revan does not have Rage to dish out 90 damage a clip. If he did, then I think the ultimate ally is whatever her name is with Force Push. As is, I think she is still a strong consideration for me right now.

The uggernaught squad can now be useful with Revan instead of just Thrawn in 200. Now you have a nice beat to back up the guns.

But you are definitely paying for that CE! I'm comparing him to Lord Vader at the moment since they are both Commander-sticks and I'd rather have Twin and assault any day. You won't have to stand still to use it. and standing still is not revan's friend.
