Relentless Assassin Droid Deck Tech For SW Destiny

The deadliest assassin droid in Destiny is looking for contracts to claim. Better watch your back for this relentless droid in Star Wars Destiny.

IG-88 is a beast with his ranged damage output. He also is extremely resilient with his shield generation and ability to scavenge discarded yellow weapons and equipment from your discard pile. Recycling Personal Shields and Armor Plating can make him tough to take out. All the while he will be dishing out massive damage. To make sure that all that ranged outputs hits its target, partner him with a TIE Pilot.

While the TIE Pilot’s character die is in your pool, your ranged damage cannot be removed. Since IG-88 will be pumping out mad damage, and TIE Pilot will be adding to that, add some Red cards that can really add the hurt. Salvo is a great place to start.

Salvo is an event card that can allow you to resolve one of your ranged dice against each of an opponent’s characters. For opponent’s that use 2 or more characters, which is most decks you will see, you will be whittling them all down fast. You can even increase the area of affect damage with a Thermal Detonator. 

If you equip this to IG-88, you can resolve its special to deal 3 damage to each of an opponent’s characters. This is another great way to take out an entire team all at once. And the best part: after you resolve the Thermal Detonator special it goes into your discard pile, ready and waiting for IG-88 to grab it up and use it again and again. Crazy!

Will you be able to shake this bounty hunter off your trail? Just hope you don’t get caught in his cross-hairs!
