When it comes to Villains, they have a relentless drive to destroy all in their path. IG-88 and FN-2199 are a great pair that just won’t quit!
The most tenacious Stormtrooper ever, FN-2199, is here to keep the pressure on. Whenever you equip a weapon to him, you may roll that weapon die, and resolve it immediately. This can work well with some Yellow upgrades so let’s go with IG-88 as his partner.
IG-88 is all about guns and shields. His special ability comes in handy for getting him a discount on upgrades and utilizing your discard pile in an interesting way. With Fn-2199 and access to Red cards, having Guardian on IG-88 can be extremely beneficial to keeping FN alive a lot longer.
Ace in the Hole is a great way to “cheat out” upgrades to be recycled by IG-88. This card allows you to discard a Yellow upgrade from your hand and roll its die into your pool. This gets an upgrade in your pool for free and can come into play with IG-88 special ability at a discount!
Thermal Detonator is a great target for Ace in the Hole. Discard it, roll it into your pool, and hopefully, you can deal 3 damage to each of an opponent’s characters. Once you’ve used its die, use IG-88’s special to equip it again and again as needed for only 1 resource!
Vibroknucklers is a great upgrade to put on FN-2199. Having Ambush, you can equip Vibroknucklers, roll it in with FN’s ability, resolve it, and then activate FN-2199 and get more mileage out of its die! Crazy and speedy for this relentless Stormtrooper. It also has two discard sides which have synergy with Thermal Detonator to keep the pressure on and your opponent’s hand thin.
Relentless pursuit is the name of the game for these Villains. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy!
