Insidious Gladiator: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | July 19th, 2019 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

Insidious Gladiator

Sneaky up to catch the Rebels off guard, the Insidious Gladiator is seeking the weak points in the enemy fleet. They’ll never see it coming!

Gladiator II-clas Star Destroyer

Lurking in the dark recesses of space, the Gladiator is flying in to take down Rebel ships quickly. Specifically, the Gladiator-II may cost a few more points, but you gain a red die in your side arcs, which can be crucial. A key roll of an accuracy can spell doom for most Rebel prey. 2 blue anti-squadron dice can help fight off enemy squadrons with ease as well.

Insidious

Insidious is the namesake title of this devilish Gladiator. This title upgrade gives you to the ability to fire black dice at medium range, as long as you are attacking the rear hull zone of a ship.  Knowing this can give you a psychological advantage over your opponent as you hunt for rear arcs.  Rapid Reload

Losing a black die in each of its side arcs can be fixed by adding a Rapid Reload upgrade. This ordnance upgrade gives you a 1 black die in your left and right battery armaments. A 4 black and 1 red die attack can be devastating to small to medium Rebel ships, especially if you get a key accuracy!

Nav Team

Hunting for rear arcs can be tricky, especially at high speeds. A Nav Team can help you get your Insidious into the perfect position. Since you will most likely be navigating with your Gladiators, a Nav Team can help you get an extra yaw when needed.  When you resolve a navigate command, your navigate tokens can either change your speed or add an extra yaw. Not a bad upgrade for a ship that wants to navigate frequently to get at those juicy rear arcs.
