|combos=* [[Brainiac]] + [[Mantellian Savrip]] [[Brainiac]]'s forfeit is equal to the total number of cards in your opponent's hand, so he may often be sacrificed to the [[Mantellian Savrip]] to cover all battle damage and attrtion against you.<ref name="scomp">https://scomp.starwarsccg.org/?s=Brainiac</ref>
|rulings=* Counts as a card in hand for determining value Y.<ref name="scomp" />
* Is not an astromech.
* Cannot occupy astromech capacity slot.
* Square root of a negative number uses his minimum power of 1.
* Square root must take the positive root.
* Do not round unless required to do something that requires a whole number, in which case round to nearest whole number.
* Modifiers are applied after calculating [[Brainiac]]'s power and other stats (e.g. calculate his power and forfeit normally, then add +2 to each for [[Tatooine Utility Belt]]).
* If [[Brainiac]]'s game text is canceled, then his power, deploy, and forfeit are all an unmodifiable 0. His destiny is still pi (3.14...)
