I suppose - but back in the day, before FR, that squad was awesome.

Huh. I don't have Thrawn, but I never thought Vader, SotJ was any good. First one with Djem So, though, right?

[bountyhunter9]

IE Thrawn is amazing. Best Imperial commander there is.

Yeah, he and Luke Skywalker, Jedi (both from the KotOR set) were the first pieces with Djem So Style.

[Jm419]

Lol. I like Vader, IC.

I thought so, yeah.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. He's a lot of fun to play. That CE is just off-the-charts good. He makes a very good pairing with IE Thrawn in super-trooper squads too, but UH Thrawn is also a good fit in those squads.

[Jm419]

LOL. Vader IC and IE Thrawn...that's just mean.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. It's an interesting alternative to the traditional B&B squads with Lord Vader and the "newer" ones with Scourge of the Jedi (which I played today, lol). One of the most fun things to do in a swap squad is to use an extremely underrate ability, Wall Climber, to set up an ingenious deep strike where it hurts the enemy the most. It makes you look like a genius, lol.

[Jm419]

I really do like Wall Climber, it's an amazingly useful ability. You're completely right about it being underrated. Some people see pits as obstacles - I see them as highways.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. That's a great analogy. Pits=highways. I'll remember that. Some good game advice.

In super-trooper squads (with Vader IC, Felucian Stormie Officer, maybe either Thrawn, and troopers), which troopers do you use? Do you use the basic Stormies, the Raxus troopers, or a combination of both?

[Jm419]

It's true. Wall Climber is amazingly useful, and most players don't prepare defensively for it.

The basic Stormies. With the Bespin Guards, lol, cause they have Advantageous Cover. The Raxus Prime Troopers are ok, but the Stormies cost less.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. Most players are prepared for attacks from characters with Flight, but it is rare that anyone noticed a Raxus Troopers or Amanin Scout getting ready for a charge over a pit.

Lol. The Raxus troopers cost the same as the Stormies. Why do you use the Bespin Guards if Stormies are superior?

[Jm419]

Right.

Oh, fail. I had some reason for not using them...the Bespin Guards are useful because they actually already have AC, and you don't need to keep them in range.

[bountyhunter9]

Ahh, that's a good point. If you don't play Mas, the range does have to be accounted for. But, I think Stormies would still be better. Assuming that the character is in cover, the Bespin Guards would have a 20 defense (base 12 + 8 from Adv Cover), and a +3 attack. If the character in cover was a Stormie, they would have the same 20 defense (base 16 + 4 from cover), but with a +4 attack.

[Jm419]

I use Bespin Guards alongside Stormies. I don't have enough Stormies, lol. I only have eight or nine.

By the way, Best Buy is selling IE for 50% off. I got two packs - lol. I got Logray and Threepio, Deity. What a fail. Oh well.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. That makes sense. Can never have enough Stormies.

Lol. That set can be pretty bad, or very good, for rare pulls. Moff Fancypants (Jerjerrod) is another horrible rare. I don't even want to think of how many I pulled.

You seem disappointed with your boosters, so I assume you didn't pull any Mouse Droids?

[Jm419]

True. More for Solo to kill.

Really? What would you ever use Threepio for?

Lol, no I pulled one/two Mouse Droid(s). I was just hoping for Luke. But, I have a Kyp Durron if you're interested in trading, I don't play NR.
