AMG just previewed the rules for Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: Shatterpoint- check out what she can do in the new game!
We’ve seen the new Star Wars Shatterpoint starter set unboxing, a full how-to-play video, and some rules previews. We saw some tabletop mechanics already too, but it’s nice to know what the actual characters can do!
If you want to see what the models look like and where you can grab yours, you can check that out here. For now, though, let’s check out the new rules from Atomic Mass Games.
Ahsoka Tano Star Wars: Shatterpoint Rules
Ahsoka Tano, Jedi No More is a fast-moving defensive powerhouse who is ready to prove to all- comers that you don’t have to look tough to be tough. Providing a solid 8 squad points, players will find they have a lot of flexibility in Unit choice while building out her squad.
Enemies who choose to attack Ahsoka from a distance will have to weigh the risk of taking return damage from Deflect – while attacking her companions has the potential to trigger her Identity ability, Fierce Protector, allowing her to close distance with the enemy and strike back or support other Units with some crucial healing to turn the tide.
She has some excellent defensive tools, and with Deflect, Too Fast, and Protector, she should be pretty annoying to take down and deal out a decent amount of damage.
On the offensive, Ahsoka clears a lot of ground during her activation with Force Speed and has two Stances to use in combat – each with its own unique advantages. Jar’Kai is focused on dealing consistent damage to enemies, forgoing some defense dice against both Ranged and Melee attacks in favor of offensive power. Her Form V Shien Reverse Grip Stance offers Ahsoka more Shove results early in her Combat Tree, as well as various options to move and heal during combat. Choosing which Stance to use during attacks will be key to leveraging the strengths of both of these Stances to their greatest effect.
With her lightsabers and acrobatics, she has some very interesting stances (which you can learn more about here) where you can either go offensive and pump out the damage, or she can heal and be more defensive if you’re on the back foot a little.
