Stunning Leader is a Dark Interrupt (Lost Interrupt) from A New Hope.
Card Text
If a battle was just initiated at an interior site, use 1 Force; for remainder of battle all characters of ability > 2 and all leaders (on both sides) are simultaneously excluded from that battle.
Lore
Stormtroopers are trained to stun, not kill, priority targets in order to split enemy forces and hold the leaders for interrogation. Stun effects wear off, requiring efficient action.
Combos
- Stunning Leader + Cloud City sites + Lift Tubes A great point defense system that'll allow you to spread a bit thinner than normal and still be able to bring all your low ability characters to brawl in a mainless battle.[1]
- Stunning Leader + Ability > 2 Imperials + Stormtroopers + Trooper Assault This is awesome because you get a speed gain and a defensive gain; the Stormtroopers deploy for free and Stunning Leader excludes the high ability Imperial, leaving only totally immune troopers in the fight. Add a Comlink for more fun.
- Stunning Leader + Cloud City Troopers + Imperial Trooper Guards + E-3P0 Bring out the odds cards! With this kind of Cloud City defense force, you could have a blast with Light Side Mains. Trooper Assaults would make the power here obscene. Don't forget the E Chu Ta for maximum insult to injury.
- Stunning Leader + IT-0 + IG-88 + Probe Droid How about a droid strike team? Exclude all their mains and send your droids on suicide missions. Retrieve with the Cloud City: Incinerator and repeat ad infinitum. With a spy on the team, it can't be kept out of the action.
Rulings
- Any additional characters of ability > 2 or leaders who arrive at the battle after Stunning Leader has been played are also excluded.[1]
- To initiate this Interrupt, there must be at least one character targeted to be excluded.
