What we should have got instead of CX2 and Scorch.

I feel like this is a missed opportunity, not as bad as others, but I feel this fumbled the bag for the revenge of the sith era. Appo and disguised clone trooper are okay, they belong on a vaders fist team. However scorch and CX-2 are not part of the 501st also known as vaders fist. Instead of CX2 and Scorch, we could have gotten a full dark side 501st which would not only include lord Vader + Appo, and disguised clone trooper, but would have Commander Vill, and Sargeant Coric.

Their kits would be: 

CT-2291 "Vill"

Tags: Dark side, Support, Clone Trooper, Empire

Basic: Crush Descent. 

Deal physical damage to target enemy with a chance to inflict healing immunity and buff immunity, which can't be evaded. If Appo is present, call him to assist. 

 

Special: Good soldiers follow Orders.

Inflict Deathmark on targeted enemy. Call all Dark Side Clones to assist. All dark side clone trooper allies will recover 5% health and protection when they are called to assist. If target already has Deathmark, Attack again.

Special: Extermination Order

If targeted enemy has Death mark, this attack will instantly remove the enemy from the battle. (This special starts on a 5 turn cool down)

 

Unique: At the start of the encounter, Grant Vill 10% turnmeter for each Rebel enemy. If all Allies are Dark side Clone Troopers, vill grants offense up whenever he attacks. 

 

Next up is fox (not from coruscant guard) and I modelled his kit after fives and echo.

CT-1010 "Fox" (not the fox from the coruscant guard)

Tags: Dark Side, Tank, Clone Trooper, Empire.

Basic: Enforce Order and Security.

Inflict damage on the target enemy. If it lands a critical hit, call a random dark side clone trooper to assist. If it lands a critical hit, attack again.

Special AOE: EMP Grenade.

Dispell all buffs on enemies which can't be evaded. This will also daze all enemies. If buffs are dispelled or daze debuff lands, grant Fox Taunt for 3 turns.

Unique: when a dark side clone trooper attacks on a basic or a special, fox assists. Whenever fox assists, gain 5% health and protection.

Unique: Veteran Sargeant. Whenever Fox taunts, reduce all enemy cool downs by 1 .

 

Why couldn't we have just gotten a full dark side 501st?

  • Well Scorch and CX-2 were to cash in on the end of the Bad Batch franchise, right?  I think they're cool.  Whereas a disguised clone trooper doesn't look the part on the battlefield and feels like they ran out of ideas for 'actual' darkside clone troopers.

    Because vill in legends later takes over the 501st and operates in anti insurgent campaigns (although not to the level of Appo which got him killed)

    They'd do great just on a Tarkin team but the fact they were released in revenge of the sith, and the fact we didn't get a full dark side 501st doesn't sit right.

    I'm counting disguised clone trooper as 501st because the decoy squad he's apart of is a 501st detachment
