Commander Effect: Each Black Sun ally within 6
squares gains +4 attack and +10 damage.
When Prince Xizor came out in Universe, he was a
competitive piece that did not decline with time
until anti-stealth techniques became common. The new
Xizor features a great commander effect, solid
abilities, and good durability. His commander effect
boosts the damage output of two very effective
shooters. The Bith Black Sun Vigo can now hit for 30
damage at 14 attack four times with this character
and Imperial Governor Tarkin in your squad. The
Twi'Lek Black Sun Vigo can hit for 40 damage at 17
attack four times with the same support. In an
Imperial or Republic squad, you also have Mas Amedda
to remove the range restriction. The MD can also do
that universally.
In addition to his commander effect, he has great
defensive stats for his cost. At 90 hp, he can
survive four hits from Dash or Rex. He also has 21
defense, which is right up there with the jedi.In
fact, the only non-jedi to beat it is his earlier
incarnation, Prince Xizor. With Pheromones as well,
he is very tough to kill. In terms of offense, he
has a decent 11 attack and 10 damage, also limited
by Melee Attack. Apparently he put aside his blaster
to show off his Teras Kasi skills. However, he is
not a fighter, so that should be of little
importance.
Finally, he has Fringe Reserves 20. This could be a
nice bonus when it happens, giving you another
TBSVor BBSV for free. If you have Lobot, CLO in your
squad as well, you have a 10% chance each round to
get 50 points of fringe. If you throw in an RBSV,
the weakest of the three Black Sun Vigos, you could
get 70 points. That's more than a third of your
squad at 200 points! It is nothing to rely on, but
reserves are a plus.
100 pts: 1/5 He lacks enough offensive ability and
costs 30% of your squad. Like most commanders, he
will be ineffective here.
150 pts: 4/5 The Vigos can provide some cheap
firepower greatly exceeding Dash or Rex with the
right team. He is essential to any Black Sun squad
here.
200 pts: 4.5/5 Same as 150, but with a higher ratio
of shooter to support, this Xizor will do even
better.
