Today we look at one of the pieces that fit in a
sub-theme for minis in this set which being a mid to
high 20’s Jedi with lots of abilities (some others
are Juhani, Jarael, Luke Jedi, and Zayne). I
personally love it when we get pieces of this nature
because they bring good Jedi support, some good
force powers, and you they cost a lot less than the
normal 35+ points or so. Jolee is one of my
favorites that fit in this class.
His stats are good at 80 HP giving him a near 4:1 HP
cost ratio which is good. His defense is definitely
good for 23 pts his attack may be abit low but at 23
points what can you expect, and his damage is a
standard 20.
His abilities though are what make him good and fit
into the above class. He has double which is much
needed for Jedi at this point in the game. He has
avoid defeat which makes him the first force user to
have it without the help of a medical droid or 2-1B
so he has a much better chance of making the two
saves. He has stun which with his fixed force points
could hurt as much as it helps because you may be
tricked into burning all your force points to stun a
big hitter which is great until he makes most of the
stun saves. He has deflect another much needed power
for Jedi. But what really puts him in the elites of
this class is his Force Valor so he can be run as a
commander or follower. Plus at 23 point he is half
the cost of Bastilla Shan who is the next cheapest
person with this ability plus he is fringe, so he
can give to the Mandos, Sith, or the Empire.
His downsides are the norm for this point level
though and with his valor being such a good ability
that he may be targeted a lot his 80 HP could go
fast but this can be corrected with proper play. His
attack is low but he can be boosted if you choose to
use him as a follower and I’m sure he won’t be
attacking much if he becomes commander because he
doesn’t any more attention brought to him.
100: 3.5/5 this format is to far based on the heavy
hit and with the little amount of points chances are
he won’t have much help to draw away attention.
150/200: 4/5 He can be used very well here cause you
can put in big hitters to draw attention away from
him as he valors or put in a force battery and
stun/deflect like crazy on another option is to run
him with
Holo Sidious (link is the Holo Sid preview) and
give him force renewal which would be most annoying.
But he still only has 80 HP which dwindles fast so
not a 5 but a 4.
