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!
Combos
- Darth Vader + Grand Moff Tarkin Once per battle, Tarkin may cancel one opponent's destiny just drawn.[2]
- Darth Vader + I Have You Now Add one battle destiny (two if Rebel is Luke) if a Dark Jedi and a Rebel with ability > 2 are involved in the same battle.
- Darth Vader + Force Field Cancels an attempt to target a Dark Jedi with a character weapon.
Rulings
- This card is a Black Squadron pilot.[2]
