Resistance – Light Side

With the betrayal of Ben Solo – student and nephew of Luke Skywalker –, and feeling responsible for all the chaos that had followed, Luke had given up on becoming a Jedi Master and confined himself in the planet Ahch-To. But with the help of an old master, he has returned to save the final hope of the galaxy – the Resistance, and found the true power of the Force.

He is now able to summon a projection to provoke enemies and is able to deflect blast fire. Destroy the First Order with Luke, who has rejuvenated the Resistance once more!

► Attacks nearby units and deflect blaster fire when standing still with his lightsaber.

► Use his skill to summon an illusion of himself to provoke the enemy Leader and units.

► Luke’s HP will continuously decrease while the Projection skill is active.

► The projection will disappear if the skill button is tapped again or if Luke’s HP is too low.

► Luke can freely move while the Projection skill is active.

► With his special ability, Energy regeneration rate increases while his projection skill is active.

► Attacks enemies using electricity.

► Can release smokescreen to obscure the vision of nearby units, reducing their attack range.

► Large enemies like AT-ST Walker are unaffected by the smokescreen.

First Order – Dark Side

The First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke shows no mercy. He corrupted Ben Solo into becoming Kylo Ren and he rules the battlefield with his superb skills of the Dark Side.

Snoke can attack a number of enemies at once with bouncing lightning and can force opponents to become immobile, turning the battle in his favor. He also uses a strong push towards nearby enemies, sending them far back and even silencing enemy Leaders so they cannot use their skill for a certain amount of time.

The entire galaxy will be kneeling down to First Order with Supreme Leader Snoke!

► Can attack up to 3 enemies at a time with bouncing lightning.

► Use a powerful push that also inflicts damage then push opponents far away.

► Unlike other Leaders, double tapping on the map will immobilize enemies in front.

► If an enemy Leader gets hit by Snoke’s Push skill, he/she will be silenced and will not be able to use his/her skill for a certain amount of time.

Reveal the true power of the First Order to the enemies with the mighty Elite Praetorian Guard!

Equipped with a fearful crimson armor and various weapons, these guards give a nightmare to any who stands in their way.

The Seventh Guard uses a razor sharp Vibro-arbir blade, causing enemies to bleed, while the Third Guard uses a Bilari electro-chain whip that stuns. As a team, if one of them starts attacking, the other will follow and attack the same opponent together.

Reveal the true power of the First Order to the enemies with the mighty Elite Praetorian Guard!

 The Seventh Guard and the Third Guard will be deployed together.

► The Seventh Guard can cause bleed while the Third Guard can stun enemies.

► One will come rushing to aid the other guard and attack the same enemy if one of them started engaging in battle.

  1. Deployment Phase

At the start of the battle, you can deploy units from the deck you created.
The deployed units will be assigned to a position, but they will not move yet. You can only deploy units on your side, so make sure to deploy what you can before the timer above runs out.

Once the time runs out, the battle will begin and you will no longer be allowed to deploy additional units.
It’s very crucial to set up your units strategically! Try to get the most out of where you place your units.

  1. Battle Phase

In this phase, all units deployed will now move and start to battle with the enemies. At this point, you can only use support cards to help out your units on the field.

Results will depend on one of two factors:

– Destroying the Shield Generator first
