Villians ability replacement cards (and heroes when thought of)

Been meaning to post this for a while but seeing as heroes only have boost starcards I thought it would be cool to have ability replacements to see variety. 

  • Darth Maul
    • Replaces lightsaber throw - Force kick, Kick an enemy in front of you to send them flying or knock them back and have a very fast flash effect. 
  • Boba Fett
    • Big rocket - replaces rocket barrage, use the big missile you carry around on your back for a very big explosion
    • Fathers Memento - Swap out the normal gun for Jango fetts (note this is for basic fire not an actual ability replacement)
      • Also add a Jango Fett skin
    • Poison darts (as seen in attack of clones when used on Zam Wessell) acts as a more potent stinger pistol
  • Palpatine
    • Lightsaber spin - a short range spin attack (as seen in revenge of the sith)
    • Shockwave replaces either electrocute or dark aura - deals a small amount of damage and makes it so all projectile shots or blasters unable to fire.  
  • Bossk
    • Tough hide - Reduce all incoming damage significantly for a short period of time
  • [As Per atic's suggestion] Yoda
    • Replaces presence - Master leviate, levitate infantry infront of you as well as smaller vehicles. (doesn't do damage and is a mirror to vader's choke ability)
  • Don't know Who for
    • Holographic projections/force illusion create 2,3,4,5 copies of yourself when destroy give a very short discharge effect
    • Disguise, disguise yourself as person on their team to get behind enemy lines

Alright that is all I have for now but do suggest more would be good to see a variety of gameplay for the heroes

    Hey @mastersam911 Cool ideas! 

    An idea I personally have for Yoda.

    • Yoda
      • Replace presence - (To get Yoda more aggressive) With a lift mechanic you can make units start levitating in the air and stunned at the same time(similar to force choke from Darh Vader). Could be done on smaller vehicle like AT-ST and speed bikes to stop them mid air and make them float up.
      • The idea is taken from when Yoda levitates the pipe from Star Wars 2 and 5 when he get the x-wing out of the swamp

    The ability to replace certain abilities through cards is an intriguing concept that I think has a lot of potential.

    As of right now certain heroes are geared towards GA or HvsV most of them aren't sought after heavily for both.

    Some of the heroes aren't very sought after at all.

    It would be great if you could completely change a hero's kit to retool him for a specific format.

    I'm glad there are new heroes coming out, I'm sure that will shake things up as we go. This would shake things up further.

    The only thing that you could say would be a negative is that you might not be able to determine a character's abilities by visually looking at them any more. It's hard to counter play something when you don't know what tools they have.

    But I think the positive way outweighs the negative if it's done well.

    Ah yes that would be amazing to see a speeder being lifted up in the air. I'll edit it into my first post

    Ok came up with another one for Palpatine

    Shockwave replaces either electrocute or dark aura - deals a small amount of damage and makes it so all projectile shots or blasters unable to fire.

    Just a little update to my suggestions
