By Barclay Montgomery | September 21st, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Destiny, Star Wars Tactics

The new boxed set for Star Wars Destiny features Villains that have focused their hate and are out to defeat the Heroes. Will the Villains prevail in the Empire at War?

The Villains in the Star Wars Destiny two player boxed set showcases Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren: an interesting mix of Red and Blue Villain cards!

The new Captain Phasma is even more ruthless than before, and more shiny! Her die is similar to her previous version, but this one has a special ability side. She lost the ability to give non-uniques Guardian, but gained the ability to deal 2 damage to a character. If that character has 6 or more damage on it, deal 3 damage instead. Her ability makes it so that wounded enemies go down quicker so that you can focus on other threats. Captain Ohasma has her signature Blaster, and it packs a punch! Featuring loads of ranged firepwoer, this die has 1 range, 2 ranged, 3 ranged for a resource, +3 ranged, and 1 resource. While it is equipped to Captain Phasma, is also gains the Redelpoy keyword. No a bad weapon for a ruthless tactician.Captain Phasma will want to protect Kylo Ren as he builds up his upgrades. This new upgrade cost 2 resources and gives the equipped character Guardian. Praetorian Guard can support Kylo by having 1 melee, 1 melee, +2 melee, 1 shield, and 1 resource. Kylo Ren is back and he has channeled his anger into a weapon. 1 melee, 2 melee, 2 melee for a resource, 1 disrupt, and 1 resource are on his new version’s die. He lost the special ability side, but he gained a passive ability. After you activate Kylo, you may choose a color, Red, Blue, Yellow, or Gray) then reveal a random card in your opponent’s hand. If that card matches the color chosen, deal 2 damage to that character. This is a far imporved version of his previous special ability, and makes him more dangerous than ever. Kylo Ren also features a new Crossguard Lightsaber that is most powerful in his hands. After you play it on Kylo Ren, deal 1 damage to a character.Getting free damage is always a good thing. Its die features 1 melee, +2 melee, 1 shield, 1 resource, and 1 special ability side. His Lightsaber’s special ability deals 2 damage to a character, or 3 damage if that character has 1 or more shields. Once again, Kylo’s Lightsaber punishes and opponent for being shielded.

The Villains have become ever more powerful in the struggle for war in Star Wars Destiny. Who will ultimately prevail?
