Overview:
The Wookiees came in with a bang in
Series 1, and were one of the strongest factions in the game. Their
Special Powers really helped each other out and they had some strong
figures to build on. However, Series 2 only saw two new Wookiee
figures, and Series 3 saw none. It doesn't look like Series 4 will have
any Wookiees, either. Unless you've already got an established Wookiee
team, it's going to be hard to build one from scratch.
While there are several strong figures in
this team, I believe the Wookiees really suffer from having no 10 point
figures. The Wookiee Scout definitely has his merits, but his 20 point
cost is a real bummer. In low point games you'll never have many
figures in an all-Wookiee squad.
Strikers:
The Wookiee team has
two Strikers, and both are very powerful. Tarfful may have the
strongest strike of any figure in the game. Chewbacca packs nearly the
same punch, but at a cost of only 20 points. These two figures are
clearly the strength of this team.
Launchers:
None of the Wookiee
Launchers is overly powerful, but the Wookiee Scout packs a pretty good
punch for a small bullet figure. He is also pretty accurate. However,
once he has fired, his defense is almost non-existent. Nearly any hit
will bring him down.
Special Powers:
With only six
figures, you're obviously not going to get a lot of options here.
Tarfful does have a power, but unfortunately it is very low at 31%. That's definitely not
something you can count on. The Wookiee Warrior actually has a higher power (38%) but it requires your team to have a Jedi in play. Chewbacca has a very nice special - for two of your Wookiees - and it even shows up 50% of the time. The Wookiee Captain can a Wookiee, but again it's a low probability - 38%. The Wookiee Commando's is also low at the same 38%. None of these specials are above 50%, which is a big strike against the Wookiee team.
Effects:
R2-D2 wouldn't be a great help to this
team because it is such a high-cost team. Depending on the point value
of the game, you might not even have four figures that could take full
advantage of R2. The Medic Droid, on the other hand, could help bring
one of those high-cost Wookiees back into the game.
Other Figures:
Any Jedi could be a good addition to this team, as it would enable the Wookiee Warrior's power. S2 Starter Kenobi is a great fit, as the Wookiee Scout could keep him around for quite a while.
Suggested Teams:
However you
want to build your Wookiee squad, I believe it's got to rely heavily on
Tarfful and Chewbacca. Their strikes are so powerful that they can
quickly annihilate your opponent. |
