Rebel Fighter Tag on ROLO/CHS

My Wedge & Biggs are g11/g12 respectively. Originally geared them up for GW so I could trash the strongest enemy before it could take a turn. They were great for that back then. Wedge wasn't much effort to boost from g10 to g11 when the time came and still seemed sorta relevant when we weren't hitting max stars on LS Hoth TB yet, Biggs to g11 for the same reason, then g12 back when rebel ships were meta and just before MillFalc dropped. I thought I'd hit the jackpot with that decision.

Biggs even has a couple g12 pieces, IIRC, so he's in better shape than some toons whenever I decide to go for JML.

As stated, its a money grab, CHuRo-lo already need gear so no need to make them any better.

In universe, Pretty sure Cassian is an Officer & He got the TAG.

Lets face it, it was to give the Rogue-1/Hoth Brothers something to do (& a reason to gear them.)

No one was using them anymore, but under MM they might see some TW/GAC use which means some gear.

Tags are for game balance first, lore second.

CHolo with Daze and Max Health gain on basic, plus a heal and revive would be too strong on Mothra teams.

ROLO has a lot of TM gain all through her kit, if they gave her the Rebel Fighter tag they'd have to nerf her like they did SRP.

This. Which is why these threads are pointless. Game balance is a legitimate reason for characters to have (or not have) certain tags that make sense from a lore perspective.

CG could slightly adjust the kits at any point to maintain a certain balance. It's ridiculous to pretend that "game balance" was the reason CHS and ROLO didn't get the tag. The real reason was already pointed out by TVF - people already would have a R3 CHS and ROLO (+Lando) at disposal by getting JKL (who is a must have for top level play). They even were so kind to nerf SRP (who people already had geared up for the Bistan U-wing) to force people to gear up Hoth Scout in order to get the TM generator for the team.

I look on the Rebel Fighter tag as for the rank and file Rebellion members.
CAPTAIN Han Solo and Rebel OFFICER Leia Organa therefore don't count.

Por que no los dos

Game balance is also a valid reason. Put it in quotes all you want, doesn't make it any less valid.

/cough......Captain Cassian Andor ........ /cough ...... Rebel Intelligence Officer..... /cough

kit doesn't justify why they don't have that tag (game balance reasons? no) , CG just analyze data how can it be more pain in the butt for us. no need to overthink it

Cassian Andor is just Cassian Andor in the game - not Captain Cassian Andor. And what Rebel Intelligence Officer?
