Suggested build-ups[]
If you equip Vader as an officer to your fleet, you have to think about which cards you would probably sacrifice for a reroll. Anyhow there are a number of cards that lose their effect(ivness) during a game.
- Emperor Palpatine (Imperial Commander) after all Defense Tokens equipped to the enemy fleet have been chosen.
- General Tagge (Imperial Commander) after the start of both of his round tokens
- Grand Admiral Thrawn (Imperial Commander) after the three Command Dials on his card have been discarded.
- Admiral Ozzel (Imperial Officer) after the start of the first round.
- Admiral Titus (Imperial Officer) after the start of the first round.
- Agent Kallus (Imperial Officer) after all unique enemy squadrons have been destroyed (or if non have been deployed).
- Captain Needa (Imperial Officer) after the start of the first round.
- Commander Gherant (Imperial Officer) after the first attack of his ship. (So you can still discard him while attacking).
- Damage Control Officer (Officer) after discarding all Defense Tokens equipped to his ship (or if no enemy upgrade cards modify the critical effect).
- Instructor Goran (Imperial Officer) after losing all non-heavy squadrons.
- Minister Tua (Imperial Officer)
- Reeva Demesne (Imperial Officer) after losing all shields.
Available Through[]
Timing[]
The effect of this Upgrade Card triggers during Attack step 3: "Modifying Dice".
Appearance[]
Darth Vader was a dark Lord of the Sith who was able to choke his enemies telekinatically. He also did this as a warning or to execute annoying or incompetent underlings. In the Original Trilogy we see him force choke Admiral Motti, Admiral Ozzel, Captain Needa, and Director Krennic in Rogue One.
