Critical Mass: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | February 27th, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

The newly forged Kuat Refit Imperial Star Destroyer is the ultimate ship destroyer. Come and see how this ship can rack up massive damage potential!

The Imperial Star Destroyer, Kuat Refit is a massive weapons platform capable of destroying any Rebel ship that dares come near. With Its bevy of options to its armaments, we can create a ship destroying monster!

These new Ion emplacements will start off this ship’s weapon array. Heavy Ion Emplacements act much like Assault Concussion Missiles, in that they deal damage to adjacent hull zones, but on a smaller scale. For a blue critical, you may exhaust HIEs to force the defending hull zone and 1 adjacent hull zone to lose 1 shield. This can punch through shields in a hurry and make Redirects less of an appealing option for the defending ship. 

Assault Concussion Missiles will further strip shields from enemy ships. As a black critical, each adjacent hull zone to the defending hull zone suffers 1 damage. This can rack up fast and melt away shields from the Rebels ships, leaving them vulnerable. But we can only resolve 1 critical per attack, but not with

Fire Control Teams can allow you to resolve 1 additional critical effect when attacking. This can be an HIE critical and ACM critical in the same attack, dealing 1 damage to the defending hull zone, 1 to each adjacent, and an additional 1 o the adjacent hull zone of your choice. This is not even including the actual damage from your dice pool!

To finish off the Rebel scum after your vicious salvo, use your Hardened Bulkheads. This Offensive Retrofit makes it so that you won’t have to take damage from a smaller ship whenever you overlap it or it overlaps you. This is a great way to contain a small or medium Rebel ship by blocking its path and forcing in to repeatedly ram into you, taking damage all the while.

The Imperial Star Destroyer is the true symbol of the Empire’s might, and the Kuat Refit represents it well!
