The Pryce is Right: Star Wars Armada

By Barclay Montgomery | December 13th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Armada, Star Wars Tactics

Governor Pryce is set to lead the Imperial fleet in this latest revelation in Star Wars Armada. Is her price is worth it to crush the Rebels?

The cornerstone of Imperial might is the dreaded Imperial class Star Destroyer, otherwise known as the ISD. This ship can blast just about any ship off the star map in Armada, and it’s about to get even more powerful. Read on to learn more! 

Governor Pryce is an officer of the Imperial fleet that clocks in at a hefty 7 points, but her ability is unparalleled in strategic importance. After deploying fleets, you may place a 1 round token on Governor Pryce. During the round matching that round token, you must activate at the end of the Ship Phase after all other ships have activated. This is hugely powerful as a viable strategy in Armada is to have the first and preferably the last activation in a round. As it stands, your enemy’s ships will have already activated and will be at your mercy if you save this last activation for the ISD-II. 

If you like power, then Devastator has you covered. This title upgrade trades defense for offense, but we all known the best defense for the Empire is full offense! Once per round while attacking from your front hull zone, you may add 1 blue die for each of your discarded defense tokens. With this setup, you have the potential to launch an attack with 8 blue dice and 4 red dice from your front. With Governor Pryce aboard, you can activate Devastator last in the round of your choice, blast away with 12 dice at a Rebel ship that really needs to die, and then activate Devastator first in the next round and unleash devastation anew. Beautiful.

To get the most destruction out of your title card, SW-7 Ion Batteries guarantees at least 8 damage out of your front hull zone once you are fully devastated and have no defense tokens. With each result on your blue dice dealing a damage, no Rebel ship can survive your salvo.

The Empire is gaining ground in the battle for space supremacy. Overwhelm your opponents with your unparalleled grasp of battle strategy with these new upgrades.
