Watch Out For Scouts: Star Wars Legion Tactics

Imperial Scout Troopers

The Imperial Scout Troopers are blasting off in more ways than one in Star Wars Legion. Seek out priority targets and engage them with stealth!

Rocketing past the Rebels, the 74-Z Speeder Bike is the perfect unit to move fast and strike hard. This unit is so speedy that it comes with Cover 1, giving them a cover value of 1 out in the open.

74-Z Speeder Bikes

Being a Speeder has an advantage that can make them perform a compulsory move before they move, being able to reach the end of the battlefield in no time. They’re Fixed: Front weaponry can be brought to bear as they approach their targets giving them a 1 black, 1 white, and 1 red die attack at range 1-3. Being so fast can have its disadvantages, so equip a Comms upgrade to stay in communication. Long-Range Comlink

A Long Range Comlink is a perfect upgrade to keep your Speeder Bikes flexible. This upgrade gives them the ability to receive orders as though they were in range of your commander, allowing them to move freely about the battlefield. Once these Speeder Bikes have made their attack run, the enemy will be suppressed enough to have your Scout Troopers move in. Scout Troopers

Scout Troopers are the perfect infiltration unit for the Empire. Having a Low Profile will give them better cover as they advance into light cover, and their Scout ability allows them to find the best spots quickly. These Scouts are Sharpshooters, negating the enemy’s cover value by 1 when they are attacking. Once in position, your Scout Troopers can complete their mission! Sonic Charge Saboteur

These Scouts are equipped with a Sonic Charge Saboteur. This adds an additional Scout Trooper mini equipped with a 1 red, 1 black die attack that can be placed within range 1 and line of sight with your unit leader. This Blast is suppressive, so it can cut off a key piece of terrain or hinder your enemy’s movement of their troops. Scout ahead and take out key targets with your Scout Troopers and Speeder Bikes in Star Wars Legion!
