Cassian’s Mentor: Star Wars Destiny

By Barclay Montgomery | August 16th, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Destiny, Star Wars Tactics

Cassian

Cassian has learned many things in his life, but Master Yoda has yet more to teach this Rebellion Operative. Yoda and the Rebels join forces for the Heroes!Cassian Andor

Cassian Andor is a crazy combo of deck milling and damage generation that attacks your opponent from 2 different angles. His character dice are almost exclusively suited for this role, having 1 ranged, 2 ranged, 1 discard, 1 discard, and 1 resource. His character ability also plays into the deck mill archetype by being able to deal 1 indirect damage or discard the top card of a deck whenever you resolve his die. Deal damage or mill their deck, either way, they lose! Yoda

Yoda makes every Hero deck even better with his extremely powerful character die. He works well with Cassian by being able to manipulate dice to whatever sides you need with 2 focus and his special ability choices. Yoda’s special ability choices of being able to turn one of your dice to any side and discard the top card of a deck will play nicely with Cassian and his character ability. Clandestine Operation

Clandestine Operation is Cassian’s main mission in Destiny. This Yellow Event takes his abilities to the next level, all for 1 resource! Spot Cassian Andor to resolve any number of your dice showing the same symbol, then discard cards from the top of a deck equal to the number of dice you just resolved. This can work beautifully with Yoda and Cassian’s discard on their dice. The craziest dice pool would be resolving Clandestine Operation whilst you have 4 discard showing on your dice, then mill 4 cards from the top of your opponent’s deck. Brutal!

Force Meditation

Let’s keep this mill deck theme going with Force Meditation. This Blue upgrade works very well with Cassian since it has no Blue Character Only Restriction. Not only does it have a nice selection on its die, but it also has a special ability that discards the top 2 cards of a deck. 1 focus an 2 special ability sides can also set up a nice Clandestine Operation also!

Bartering

Finally, Bartering has great synergy with our theme. 1 focus, 1 discard are easy for Clandestine Operation activation as well as its special ability side. The special ability acts as a soft mill, forcing each player to draw 1 card.

The Heroes are the king of deck milling, and Cassian and Yoda are sure to be the top contenders for the mill in Star Wars Destiny!
