Scout Blaster is a Dark Weapon (Character) from Endor.
Card Text
Deploy on your biker scout, or use 2 Force to deploy on your other warrior. May deploy as a 'react'. May target a character or creature using 1 Force (for free if fired by your spy or scout). Draw destiny. Target hit if destiny > defense value.
Lore
Hold-out blaster utilized by Imperial scouts. Small size limits range, but concealability is often an asset.
Strategy
A deploy free, fire free blaster for Biker Scouts is one of the most sought-after cards in booster draft play. It has average hitting power, destiny > defense value, but it can take out any pesky Ewok (like Wicket or Chirpa) or Rebel (like Kensaric or Beezer) who is giving you trouble. A Dark side spy can also fire for free, making this a very good weapon to use with Sniper. The destiny 4 number on this blaster is decent, too. Deploying Biker Scout Gear will make the Scout Blaster a 6 when drawn as destiny.
Combos: Scout Blaster is really well integrated into the Endor expansion, with game text on many cards providing additional benefits:
is a mean combination, a destiny draw that can make your Light side target either temporarily disarmed, or power and forfeit 0
- adds 1 to his total weapon destiny.
- Arcona beware!
- for a free shot at your opponent during the control phase.

While the Scout Blaster is just like an everyday blaster to most characters, in an Endor deck it becomes quite the accessory. The ability to hold onto this weapon until after your opponent has initiated a battle brings the important advantage of surprise to your side of the table.
Combos: - The ability to deploy weapons for free only when you absolutely need them is always a plus.
