This is actually fairly debilitating, even on a Range 2 unit. B2s are rarely losing actions, which they desperately need both of, since they are a close range assault unit.ĪI: Attack.
You want your B2s unleashing salvos of rockets and arm cannon lasers, not slap fighting things.Ĭourage 2. Their melee is a single black dice, which is not great. Their attack is still pretty underwhelming with just three models, but when you combine a full pool of Arm Cannons with one of the heavy weapon upgrades, you basically have an AT-ST attack pool at Range 2. The only other corps unit with two dice printed on its unit card are Fleet Troopers, who still top the charts for the most points efficient attack in the game. The range is certainly short, but this is a very strong dice pool. They do still melt pretty quickly due to their save when caught in the open, like all droids. You want to keep them in cover whenever possible.
Now this is solid the white save isn’t great, but Armor 1 strips a lot of hits right off the top.
White (no surge) save, 2 wounds/model, Armor 1.
