AMG Reveals New Star Wars: Legion Moff Gideon Rules & Cards!
Let’s take a closer look at the rules, upgrades, and command card revealed from AMG for Moff Gideon in Star Wars Legion.
As an Imperial Remnant member, Moff Gideon is a Commander ranked unit that comes in at 100 points. Defensively, he utilizes Red defense dice and surges to block. Gideon’s 5 health and 3 courage will help keep his troops fighting until the end. Offensively, he stands ready to fight the enemies of the Empire with Advanced Combat Training and his custom blaster pistol. Finally, Sharpshooter 1 and Tactical 1 round out his offensive talents. These stats give Moff Gideon a strong starting point but are only part of his dominating presence on the battlefield.
As you would expect, he has some pretty interesting rules and they are all thematic! With Observe, Ruthless, and Tactical, he should really play like you would expect him to.
Finally, Moff Gideon can equip the Darksaber. This weapon gives him Demoralize 1 and uses 5 black attack dice. These additions to Moff Gideon’s card give him the confidence to deal with any dissident that crosses his path.
With five attack dice, Demoralize, Impact, and Pierce, equipping him with this should really increase his combat efficiency!
Moff Gideon Command Cards
Moff Gideon’s Command Cards provide a number of options to react to any battlefield situation he finds himself in. When he’s ready to take the fight to his enemies, Die At My Hand gives Moff Gideon a Dodge token, Aim token, and Relentless. If Moff Gideon instead needs to focus on an essential objective, he can utilize You Have Something I Want to send a squad of his elite Dark Troopers to where they are needed most. Finally, Moment of Consideration gives his quarry a chance to consider their options while Moff Gideon sets up his coup de grâce, giving up to three units Fire Support.
The cards are all pretty strong, and with Die At My Hand, he really turns into a monster! You Have Something I Want works really well with the Dark Troopers and can send them exactly where you need them, especially if you get outmaneuvered.
Lastly, Moment of Consideration can really buff up your units as it can affect three units.
