This feline (farghul for those wanting to know what
species she is) is a piece i really want to like,
but cant ever quite justify using. That 12-16 pt
range is full of characters like this. They look
really good, but dont quite justify the cost vs tech
or filler. As is, her stats are pretty low for
15pts. She should have 40HP, about a 16 DEF and
maybe a 6-8ATK. The damage can vary. Well, when most
pieces have stats lower than the cost you hope they
have abilities that make up for it. The CNBH
definitely has that. With BH +2 you at least make
the average 6ATK for the cost. She also has Cunning.
Most times you will have better pieces to use
cunning with, but at least you are looking at an 8
to 10ATK for 20DAM. This is much better and probably
better than 15pts. Finally, she has Jedi hunter.
Pull off all three bonuses you are looking at a 14
ATK for 30DAM. From a 15 point piece, that is damn
good. Being a fringe follower, she also is a great
beneficiary of pretty much every CE out there
Mobile, evade, +3/+3, etc.
So why is she so questionable if she can swing so
hard? Well, the first trick is that you ahve to pull
off all three bonuses at once. Without them she is
much more fragile and not worth the 15pt spot.
Cunning will be the hard one to consistently pull as
you will usually have better pieces to start with.
Either your opponent has Jedi or they wont. There is
nothing you can do about this one, and the BH2 again
is dependent on your opponent running uniques.
Without these bonuses, she is not worth playing. In
the end i would save her for reinforcements or
reserves. Some games she will be good for you, and
others she will be a total waste. That's a big swing
for 15pts.
100pts: Even as filler there are better options.
150pts: Here i would leave her as reinforcements or
reserves as i said. You generally will not have the
spare points to justify her here unless you know
what people are running in your neck of the woods.
200pts: This will be her best place if you want to
run her in a squad. you can afford to have 1-2 and
still have room for plenty of other good stuff. She
really can be a great piece, but for 15pts it is
just to much dependent on what your opponent is
running to use her consistently.
