Lore
BoShek nicknamed this male Siniteen 'Brainiac' due to his ability to calculate hyperspace coordinates in his head. 'He's the brains, sweetheart!'
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.[1]
Rulings
- Counts as a card in hand for determining value Y.[1]
- 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...)
