Star Wars: Legion Upgrade Card Pack II: $12.99
This is really sweet as it’s pretty cheap and you get 60 cards with some of the coolest characters out there! Here’s what they have to say about this one:
The Upgrade Card Pack II contains updated unit cards for notorious bounty hunters Boba Fett, Bossk, Cad Bane, and even the A-A5 Speeder Truck that make them playable using the new mercenary rules introduced with the Shadow Collective Starter Set.
Additionally, players will also find copies of the three new command cards for use with mercenary units from the Shadow Collective Starter Set. Finally, this pack also includes a selection of 60 upgrade cards designed to help them get the most out of their mercenaries, including the new cards introduced in the Shadow Collective Starter Set.
Upgraded Bounty Hunter Cards:
Considering these are their cards, we’ll let them tell you more:
The first bounty hunter to see an update is the Transdoshan Terror himself: Bossk! To start, Bossk’s cost has been reduced to 105 points. This allows him to make full use of his three upgrade slots and find his way into more armies. To go along with that, Bossk can now be added to Imperial or Separatist rosters. This new update also adds a couple small changes to his mobility and survivability. Notably, Bossk gains Scale, which replaces Expert Climber and Unhindered.
One of the most infamous bounty hunters of all time, Boba Fett is the next unit to receive improvements during this update. He now benefits from Independent: Aim 1 or Dodge 1, allowing him the flexibility to gain a token based on whatever situation he finds himself in. Offensively, his Integrated Rockets increased in power, receiving an extra black die and gaining Versatile. Boba’s Boot Spikes also gained an additional red die to his melee attack and he gained a comms upgrade slot, allowing him to benefit from a myriad of upgrades that were previously unavailable to him.
The final bounty hunter in this update needs no introduction, and Cad Bane’s changes live up to his reputation. His new unit card comes in at 105 points, leaving you with plenty of room to spend on his many upgrade slots. Speaking of upgrades, you may notice that he has been given a second training upgrade slot. This reflects his proficiency as a master tracker and fighter. Cad Bane also sees his Danger Sense increase from 2 to 3. Combined with the addition of Independent: Dodge 2, Cad will have no trouble sticking around on the battlefield. Offensively, his surge chart has also been upgraded from surge to hit to surge to critical hit. Finally, he is no longer restricted to the Separatist Alliance only, and can now be added to Imperial armies.
Overall just a really cool release!
