Today we look at a figure that seems to be a fan
favorite. Shaak Ti is one people keep wanting to
play, and in some instances can be very good. On a
24 point piece here stats are pretty good. 70 HP is
always nice because it always takes that extra hit
to kill her, whether you are hitting for 20 DAM or
30DAM. The19 DEF isnt stellar compared to a lot of
other Jedi, but c'mon she is only 24 points! The 12
is solid and the 20 DAM is typical.
It is in her abilities that she keeps coming back
from obscurity. With leap and crowd fighting, she
can become one awesome attacker, especially when
sweeping. In one game i believe i pumped her to a
+20 ATK. The other nice feature on her is her
stealth. For quite a while Her and Saesee Tiin were
the only two Jedi with stealth, and with only one
attack each there really wasnt much to do with them.
Since they came out, though, we have now have a new
Quinlan Vos and the Bith Vigo to add some more
strength to the Jedi stealth team because now you
could stretch her HP a bit further with evade from
the Vigo.
Three force is decent. It is the minimum functional
amount in my opinion. Force leap is great to get
into a crowd and get crowd fighting jacked up, and
sweep is also nice because then she can let loose on
all of those guys surrounding her. The bonus that a
lot of people dont realize is that crowd fighting
gives a +2 to everyone adjacent to her except her
target, but when you lightsaber sweep, you are not
targeting anyone. You gain a +2 for every character
around her, regardless of who you are attacking.
Just make sure that you hit your big guys first, so
you can have the maximum attack value. Master Qui-Gon
was a nice boost to her in a way because if you
force spirit her, she can leap and sweep in a single
turn. It was a combo many looked forward to when he
came out. Sadly, she proved a bit too weak to endure
this combo very well.
100pts: Too weak here
150pts: Here she can start to see play. You can run
an all stealth team with a Bith Vigo and CS Yoda by
pairing her with Tiin and the new Vos, or you can
use her with Sevs and a Bith. She wont be the
greatest piece, but she can be loads of fun in
casual games.
200pts: Her low cost will let her fit in well here.
She is cheap for what she can do and you can bring
in lots of help. Again she won't be a great piece
here either, but Jedi with evade are a pain to hit,
especially with CS Yoda backing them up. However,
she is about to be replaced by her bigger, badder
self in the upcoming Force unleashed set, but more
on that when we review her. ;)
