Luke
Skywalker, Jedi Knight

This final incarnation
of the Luke persona is indeed the best one! When they said the this
Luke (and Vader) would have the highest numbers in the game... They
weren't kidding!
With a power
of six, he now out-powers the old man, Obi-Wan, and finally comes on par
with the pre-Death Star II Vader personae. With his ability of six,
he now has finally joined the ranks of the Jedi Knights and can Smoke Screen
with the best of them!
His deploy cost is rather pricy, but,
that can be illiminated by using him on Endor (high Force drain potential
there) or in a Profit Strategy.
Only adding 2
to anything he pilots, he's not such a great bush pilot anymore.
However, with his stats, you probably won't wanna put him in space anyway.
Arm him with a stick and his hefty power goes up by another 2! Now,
he outpowers all the Vaders and is 1 less away from being a piloted Blizzard
Walker! And, with three sticks to choose from (the generic, Anakin's
or his own lightsaber), he's more than likely to come out of the deck fully
armed and dangerous! This farm boy's packin' heat!
Does the Dark
Side like to duel where you play? This guy makes dueling a real nightmare
for the Dark Side! He'll automatically yank 3 points off of any attempt
to cross him over to the Dark Side.
Example:
The Dark plays Vader's Obsession using Epic Duel. Let's say you lose
the duel by 1 point. You may now elect to cross Luke over to the
Dark Side. Thus, Luke game text kicks in and subtacts 3 off of Dark's
dueling destiny. Suddenly, you just won the duel. This farm
boy ain't whinin' anymore!
Finally, and
probably most importantly, he's got monsterous immunity to attrition.
He's a walking tank! Normally, he's immune to anything less than
5. Put him alone or with his stick and he's now immune to anything
less than 6! Alone and with his stick, immune to anything less than
7! The Emperor and Yoda are the only characters who have it better!
This farm boy ain't goin' nowhere!
All in all, this farm boy's one tough
mutha!
Red 32's Combos:
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight + Luke's Lightsaber
+ The Force Is Strong With This One + Warrior's Courage + Krayt Dragon
Howl = Power 8, immune to attrition <7, drawing 4 or 5 destiny...
Cancel one of those Tarkin!
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight + I Feel The
Conflict + Anakin Skywalker = Win a few battles and then turn around and
cross Vader!
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight + Order To
Engage = Imperial, "You wanna fight him?" Imperial 2, "No, I don't
wanna fight him... You fight him."
Imperial, "I'm not gonna fight him...
YOU fight him."
Imperial 2, "OK, Mister Skywalker?
We really don't wanna fight you, so here... We'll just lose the three
Force... Sorry to bother you."
Red 32's Power Ratings:
Ground = 10.0 (11.0 with his stick, 12.0
alone and with his stick!)
Space = 7.5 |
