"You best watch yourself. We're wanted men. We have the Death Sentence in twelve systems... Well, I'm in nine, he's only got the Death Sentence in three..."
Ol' Walrus Man!
You know, I still got the old Star Wars figure from when I was a kid. Him and his greenish-blue head and funny orange vest and all...
everyday scum-and-villian. His deploy/ forfeit ratio is pretty much on par with others of his ilk. He's got some power, but his ability comparable to the fact that he was kind of dim-witted.
He's a warrior and pilot, great flexibility there. He can capture and carry weapons (an expected trait among wanted criminals). His piloting skill is a pleasant surprise. Strap him into a TIE Avenger if the need arises. He's also a smuggler which means that, with his piloting ability, he could fly craft like the Hound's Tooth and Mist Hunter. His smuggling skills can also let him play hand of Sabacc if you happen to get the itch. Best of all, he's uncommon, that's good since it's had to come up with those kinds of stats without spending some money.
Now, let's look at his game text. This is where good ol' Walrus Man really shines! With his buddy Dr. Evasan, he's a whopping power +3! That makes him a very respectable power 5. With Dr. E you total power at the site in now 6 and just a hair short of drawing battle destiny. Just be careful, since everybody whose anybody is wandering around with a Lightsaber and have a Lightsaber around will kill that power bonus.
Combos:
Ponda Boba + Dr. Evasan + Wuher + Cantina = Power 11, Battle Destiny... and NO LIGHTSABERS ALLOWED!
Ponda Boba + Dr. Evasan + Wuher + Cantina + Stunning Leader = Power 11, Battle Destiny, no lightsabers allowed and no Mains allowed either!
Ponda Boba + Hound's Tooth + Moment Of Triumph = Who cares if you have Bossk or not.
Ponda Baba
Ponda Baba deserves some more recognition! Team him up with Dr. Evazan, and he becomes power 5! You do have to watch out for anyone present carrying a Lightsaber, otherwise he reverts back to a power of 2. Put Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan in the Cantina, and they are both power +1! Ponda becomes power 6! Now, that's got to be handy in a battle!
Combo:
Ponda Baba + Dr. Evazan + Tatooine: Cantina
