Despite being a part of the bundle, we do not have any rules dropped for Savage Opress yet, but we will hopefully soon.
With these new stat cards, we’ll finally get a look at what one of the largest Nightsister clans on Dathomir is going to bring to the table.
Savage Opress Rules Rage Into Star Wars Shatterpoint!
Furious Rush allows him to draw on the dark side to gain additional movement, moving even more rapidly if he has been injured. This is because, to Opress, Pain is Weakness and he is inured to such sensations even beyond ordinary Nightbrothers, who are notoriously resistant to all sorts of pain. This innate ability lets him endure less damage from attacks and to ignore the first Shove to which he is subjected, making it a challenge to slow his implacable advance. He seems an Unwitting Brute when he Dashes forward alongside the leader whom he has been told to serve whenever an allied Separatist or Dathomirian Primary Unit starts its activation while he is nearby.
Well, if you want a character to rush forward and get into the thick of it, this is the model for you! With Dark Fury and Overpowering Monster, once he gets there, he will do plenty of damage.
Savage Opress always fights with Unchained Rage, a Stance that demonstrates his brutal effectiveness in melee but also how heedless he is regarding his own defense. He wields his Double-Bladed Lightsaber like a demon, particularly when using Overpowering Monster to benefit from a strongly damaging Melee Expertise Chart. His Combat Tree allows Opress to focus almost purely on dealing damage, often his preference, though he is not without cunning and can choose to trade some damage output to Expose, Strain, and possibly Disarm his adversary. With enough success, he can enact Dark Fury on his foe as a free Active ability in addition to his lightsaber onslaught, potentially causing even greater harm.
He really is mainly a beat stick, with his stance focusing almost entirely on damage output. And with seven attack dice, Dark Fury, and Overpowering Monster, he’s really going to put the hurt on your enemy!
