Strategy

By Michael Sharp, Gold 29[1]

What more can you say? This is Darth Vader, perhaps one of the most used and most loved Star Wars CCG cards.

With power of 6 he is definately a character of choice in battles, and also has the nice touch of adding +1 to EACH battle destiny draw. So now you don't need to worry about drawing that location that you know is coming up. All this and he's immune to attrition <5.

Combos:

Vader + Tarkin - What an awesome combo! Power 10, a +1 to battle destiny draws, and the ability to cancel one of the Light Side's destiny draws!

Vader + Tarkin + Vader's Cape (deployed on Tarkin) - POWER COMBO! Power 10, a +1 +1 to battle destiny draws, the ability to cancel one of the Light Side's destiny draws, and both are immune to attrition <5!
