The Jedi Exile (3/40,
Very Rare—Jedi Academy; HP 120, ATT 14, DEF
20, DAM 20, DEP 49)
For 49 points,
the Old Republic is getting a solid, though not
amazing addition to their Jedi ranks. With Double
Attack and her attack bonus of +14, she will be
a pretty solid fighter for the Old Republic squads.
Add in that she’s a Lightsaber Duelist and
she gets a defense score of 24 while battling other
Force users. Finally, with Empathy she can
help control Savage characters and give them
access to her commander effect which grants her
allies Extra Attack. Any time you can give
other characters Extra Attack, it’s a plus
but add in that some of the really nasty Savage
creatures like the Nexu and Gundark can pick it up
too as long as they stay within six squares of her,
you get a very effective leader and the Old Republic
really needs as many of those as
possible.
Her Force
powers aren’t to be ignored either. Force Defense
will let her cancel the use of Force powers within
six squares of her, which can be really annoying.
Add in her Force Repulse 3 and she can
damage, push and activate characters within a four
square radius of her and she can be pretty
disruptive if your opponent’s pieces fail their
saves. Couple that with Force Renewal and she
won’t run out of Force points quickly, though it
should be noted both of her powers are actually
quite expensive.
However, her
situation is not completely perfect. First of all,
she lacks any defensive Force powers to protect her
from attacks so if your opponent can hit her, she
can’t really ward it off. To be honest, I’m also not
totally sure why she needed to have Empathy
since it’s a very conditional power and Savages
aren’t really all that useful in Old Republic
squads.
100 POINTS: Though she’s a
good piece, I’m just not sure she brings enough
damaging-dealing capabilities to a squad to be the
primary beat stick. Though Double Attack and
Force Repulse 3 are relatively powerful, they
just don’t quite bring her to the level needed to be
considered a beat stick. SCORE: 2.5
200 POINTS: Here, she’s
definitely worth her 49 points to deploy. Giving the
Old Republic access to the Extra Attack
commander effect makes her a boon to any Old
Republic squad at this level. If you happen to have
a Jedi Crusader in your build, even Malak and Revan
can gain access to this commander effect and bring
in their own major power boosts. She is a pretty
solid Jedi fighter and brings a lot to the table for
the Old Republic. SCORE: 3.5 |
