FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Target Lock for 1 turn, which can't be resisted by Rebels.

FINAL TEXT: Dispel all buffs on all enemies. Then, deal Physical damage and inflict Burning on them for 2 turns, which can't be dispelled from or resisted by Rebels. This ability can't be evaded.

Unique 1: DUAL-POD DESIGN

FINAL TEXT: The Imperial TIE bomber has +20% Max Protection for each active Empire ally (including the allied Capital Ship) when it enters battle and gains 20% Max Protection every time another Empire ally enters battle from reinforcements. Empire allies ignore 20% Defense for each Rebel and each Target Locked enemy.

The Imperial TIE bomber gains Taunt at the end of the turn if an enemy is Target Locked and the TIE bomber isn't already Taunting. This effect expires at the end of the turn if there are no Target Locked enemies. While any Rebel enemy is Target Locked, all Rebel enemies deal 50% less damage.

While enemies are inflicted with Burning, they have -25% Offense, doubled for Light Side enemies. Rebel enemies can't attack out of turn while Burning.

Reinforcement: RESERVE ORDNANCE

FINAL TEXT: Enter Battle: Inflict Burning on all enemies for 2 turns, which can't be dispelled from or resisted by Rebels. Then, call another random Empire ally to assist. This ability can't be evaded.

    Neat. I like the max protection boost when empire allies are reinforced.

    Burning mechanic pushes the empire into an anti-rebel fleet only for offense

    This is like kicking somebody that is already on the ground. The 3rd ship/capital ship designed to shut down and kill a rebel fleet :/

    Much better than having some new generic Tie Bomber pilot that we have to also farm up to 7 stars just to have a decent, usable ship.

    Crewless doesn't mean pilotless. It means you don't have to gear a pilot.

    I'll never understand how people manage to complain about these types of ships.

    It is nice and all for 6 months ago when people still used rebels, shame it will be useless against GR and Sep's.

    The bigger picture is we need more ships, so we are getting more ships. Does there need to be more reason to get more ships?

    And with the TIE Bomber, every faction has a faction specific tank. Now the real question, where does Hounds Tooth fit in now??

    Given the current situation, it’s better for CG from a PR standpoint to not post any information to detract the public from ongoing events

    Can we get an easier to acquire counter to Seps and GK GRs??? My rebels didnt need more death options...
  • @CG_SBCrumb Does TIE Bomber taunt at the end of EVERY turn when an enemy is target locked? Or only at the end of IT’S OWN turn? The wording seems unclear

    Yea... because the ywing brought all kinds of good PR.....at least 1200 crystals for an unlock. This ship will be more of the same.

    Nope. Played Rebels all the time getting to first spot since Executrix was meta and 5vs5. Got Falcon 5* right at the beginning. Didn’t switch to my Nego now, because I just like Rebels better. I am a bit annoyed, that this ship came out after that shiny y-wing. Else everybody could have saved the refreshes to get it ;)
  • Another crew-less ship? C'mon, CG - quit it. The droid ships were defensible, but these other ones are just lazy as all get-out.
    If you're going to keep doing this, just go ahead and remove all pilots from all ships. It's like you're only half-trying now, or have decided to completely change direction on how the toon/ship interaction should work.
