Come check out the new U-Wing and Tie Striker ships from the new movie, Rogue One! Will these new ships be game changers?
Many have been anticipating the new ships from Rogue One because they come with a lot of upgrades that seem to be usable across the line. There are definitely some things here that will shake the game up a little.
First we are going to take a look at the Tie Striker.
The Tie Striker only comes with three upgrade cards but they are all three pretty good but we are going to focus on the Swarm Leader card. We will see a lot of this upgrade card in play a lot because it can be used on very many ships and will allow you to force your opponents hand.
The Tie Striker comes with six different pilot cards allowing for a lot of squad customization.
Next we look at the U-Wing and it is incredibly detailed! Make sure you check out the video below to watch Rob Baer fly this ship around while making sounds like your six year old!
Four pilots come in this expansion set and give you a lot of options for how you would like to use this ship.
A lot of upgrade cards come in this kit and Expertise immediately catches our eye. The upgrade cost is very expensive but it seems to be very solid by allowing you to change all your Focus results to Explosion results.
