Now, I’m not going to say the ARCs are the most important part of this list, but they kind of are (don’t forget, Rex is technically an ARC Trooper too…). Oh, by the way, these guys are your main objective scorers for many missions, don’t forget to play the objective in the middle of your bloodshed. Using Obi to guardian for the extended overwatch squads is quite important, and Soresu Mastery can make getting multiple wounds through to the clones very problematic for an opponent. Only four squads of corp troopers made the trek to this battle, and you must be exceedingly careful you do not hang one out to dry and immediately lose a valuable “beef” activation. There is nothing special to the corp strategy used in this list, but I do have a warning to deliver. Between Reliable 1, aim sharing, and surge sharing, these Z6s are capable of outputting a very large amount of damage, and overwatch ensures that they can double tap targets from out to range three, a potent threat. Two come equipped with overwatch, two with offensive push, and all four are lugging their Z6 along with them. The meat and potatoes of this list, and basically any clone list, comes in the form of their clone trooper corp units: in this case, they are made up of all Phase II units. If the deployment allows, I attempt to sneak him around to score his secret mission, but if this is prohibited by something such as long march or rollout, I utilize him as a cheap objective scorer and delay activation, he’s a little bit more of an afterthought in this list. R2, as befitting his size, gets a small mention here as well. Turns 1-4 I tend to use Rex as a token battery and command card platform, before utilizing the jetpack to set up gunslinger and objective grabbing plays on the final turns, whether that’s claiming a box, tapping an opponent’s vap, or wiping out two small unit leaders.
Oh, and don’t forget, every time Rex moves he generates an aim for the entire clone trooper army. Turn 0 I like to focus on using Rex to move the overwatch squads forward into position, frequently for the rest of the game, in order to provide standby covering fire as well as set up fire supported ARC sniper shots.
#CW13 CAPTAIN REX FREE#
Free aims from tactical, incredible command cards, and scouting party provide Rex with a huge toolbox and with only 9 activations, that toolbox needs every asset. As we will discuss, this is especially effective on Kenobi’s 2 and 3 pip turns. Don’t forget, Soresu lets you spend a single dodge token while using guardian (provided the pool is not High Velocity), so make sure you utilize that to keep him alive and functioning. By positioning him near these high value targets, you can effectively guardian away the pierce, and nullify some of the expensive keywords your opponent is paying for.
Now I know that these topics have been covered ad nauseum in other outlets, therefore we’re going to focus on these keywords within the list’s interactions.Ĭlone troopers and ARC troopers suffer from the same main affliction: low model count and a weakness to pools with pierce. There are two main parts of Kenobi that I’d like to focus on here, and predictably, they’re intertwined: Guardian 3 and Soresu Mastery. Let’s begin with Obi-Wan, probably my favorite Jedi (Op Vader holds the title of my favorite overall force user…).
As you’ll see, flexibility is a common theme in this setup. If you disagree, let me know in the comments or feel free to leave your own ideas. Much of this article will lean on my own experience and decision making process. Therefore, I’d like to break each of them down individually. The key to this list is in its uniform nature, and the way that the different ranks interact with each other. Now I know what you’re thinking, “Only nine activations? This will get shredded by a ten or eleven activation meta list.” Bear with me folks, nothing is wasted here, and the lack of excess pays dividends. You also have arguably the best command hand in the game with both Kenobi and Rex. Worried about other Jedi or Armor? May I present Obi-Wan, Jedi Knight extraordinaire. Need to gunline? You’ve got four Phase II Z6s and a couple of ARC trooper strike teams. – 2× ARC Troopers Strike Team (21): DC-15x ARC Trooper (31) = 104 – 2× Phase II Clone Troopers (60): Z-6 Trooper (27), Offensive Push (4) = 182 – 2× Phase II Clone Troopers (60): Z-6 Trooper (27), Overwatch (4) = 182 – Captain Rex (90): Aggressive Tactics (10), Recon Intel (2), JT-12 Jetpacks (5) = 107
