Little Anakin has some big backup this time at the podraces. No one is going to mess with his racing flow with K2-SO around!

A Boy & His Droid: Star Wars Destiny Combo

Anakin Skywalker, boy wonder, is here to show that you don’t need anything but a desire to pilot a podracer, and a huge droid to go far in Destiny. Having no damage sides on his dice, Anakin needs a powerful friend to help him defeat the powerful Villains that he will face. Pair him up with K-2S0 and he will be good to go! 

K-2S0 is a powerful droid companion that can be paired as an elite with Anakin. With massive melee damage sides, and discard sides in common with Anakin, you should have no problems getting some big damage through. K-2S0 has a small downside that increases the costs of weapons that you equip to him, but there are ways around that.

A crazy new melee weapon that would work wonders for K-2S0 is the Darksaber. This weapon favors high point cost characters and has massive damage potential. Before you resolve Darksaber, you may increase its value by 2 if attached character costs 20 or more points. This can be fantastic for K-2S0 as it can max out his damage to 5 melee with this die alone. Paired with his character dice, you could decimate any foe with an insane 11 damage! But the trick is getting it equipped to K-2S0 without paying 6 resources.

Equip is a 1 cost Red Event that can help K-2S0 get that Darksaber! This card allows you to move a weapon from one of your other characters to another character, simple as that. You can equip Darksaber to Anakin, and then use Equip as another action late to give K-2S0 the Darksaber.

Extra bonus: when you move a weapon onto K-2S0 for the first time, you may ready him, allowing him to deal out massive damage again!

The icing on the cake is R2-D2. This little droid has seen it all, and Anakin can help R2 get the die side that you need, being able to turn a droid die to any side. As another crazy damage blowout, R2 can use his special ability to resolve K-2S0’s Darksaber die, going for 6 melee damage in one go!
