Fantasy Flight Games preview Darth Vader in Across the Galaxy, a new booster set featuring 160 new cards for Destiny coming soon….
Across the Galaxy continues the themes found in Legacies. You can look for new plot cards to help customize your decks, modifications for vehicles, and cards that activate when you spot some of Star Wars’ most recognizable characters, including Darth Vader.
Darth Vader has a terrifying reputation for a reason. Should you find yourself in the Sith Lord’s crosshairs, he will hunt you across the galaxy using the power of the Force and pure terror. In the game, Darth Vader, Terror to Behold (Across the Galaxy, 1) is an expert at exacting vengeance on your opponent’s characters. As a Power Action, if one or more of Vader’s dice were removed last turn, you can discard a card from your hand to roll those dice back into your pool! With three sides of Vader’s dice showing damage and the ability to protect them from removal, Vader can quickly cut down his foes and inspire fear across the galaxy. You can’t run from Darth Vader—removing his dice only delays the inevitable damage he is sure to deal.
As iconic as Vader himself is the crimson glow of his lightsaber. Few in the galaxy have seen him ignite the terrifying weapon, and even fewer have lived long enough to tell the tale. Darth Vader’s Lightsaber (Across the Galaxy, 16) is a three-cost upgrade with four melee damage symbols, but its true strength lies in its ability. After you resolve this die, you can spend a resource to roll one of the attached character’s dice into your pool. Then, if the attached character is Darth Vader, you may deal one damage to any character! With three sides of Darth Vader’s Lightsaber showing a modified melee symbol, you can resolve this die with a character die, then immediately roll your character die again, providing massive damage for minimal loss, and inflicting even more damage if it’s wielded by Darth Vader himself.
