Today we review the fat, repugnant, trandoshan that
made the mistake of pushing Grievous too far. He is
a cheap 12 points. You get a pretty bad 13 DEF, and
+3 attack for 10 DAM. You would expect this on a 3
point character, but not 12. Then again, most of the
time when you see stats that lag that badly behind
the cost it usually has something to do with the
abilities.
First off he has rapport with non-unique droids,
making them cost one less. Gha is very similar to
Queen Amidala in that his rapport may actually be
useful. Most droid squads run enough droids that you
are generally going to pick up 6-10 points without
trying to utilize him. Gha also has regeneration 10.
There are very few characters out there that can
make use of this ability. Gha is not one of them. 30
HP just isnt enough to really make use of it. If he
is getting shot at, he is going to drop fast.
Finally, he has repair 10. This is pretty good as he
is another source of cheap repair with Boshek. With
some of the nice DR10 pieces out there, the ability
to absorb damage goes up.
Gha is one of those pieces that is not bad, but at
the same time, he is hardly ground breaking. If you
want to use him, go for it. If not, you are not
missing out on much. The more your build leans
towards droid armies, the better he will be. As bad
as a battle droid is, one that costs 3pts isnt near
as bad. With Chameleon droids and lancers being
popular right now, you may see Gha popping up quite
a bit.
100pts: It isnt so much that he isnt usable here as
it is a case that droids arent real playable here.
If you have a droid squad you want to try and think
you can fit him in, try it.
150/200pts: He is equally playable in either of
these, being a cheap support grunt. He isn't a great
piece, but he isn't bad either. Let's just say his
uses are solid, but narrow.
Today is Gha Nackht the one who had about 10-15 mins
of screen time then died. But apparently, that gets
you a mini and a good one at that. For 12 points
your getting stats that while there not terrible are
not great either a HP of 30 which really isn’t bad.
A defense of 13 also not bad, an attack of +3 which
is bad and a damage rating of 10 not bad but not
great either.
His SA’s are nice. Especially when in squads with GG,
DAC (General Grievous, Droid Army Commander). With
his whole palooza of droids mainly due to the fact
that he can repair damaged droid commanders and
damage dealers (Super Battle Droid Commander and the
Lancer), and he makes them all cost less which tends
to build up so if you have 8 or droids in your squad
you might as well put in Gha.
His really has no weakness he such a minor piece
that really does not have any drawbacks any weakness
would just be his stats but he usually has more than
made his worth before the game even starts.
