STAR WARS: Shatterpoint Legendary Encounters & Key Operations Advantage Packs

Hello there! We have something special for you today. Normally, Star Wars: Shatterpoint pits two evenly matched strike teams against one another, led by the most powerful characters in the Star Wars galaxy. The epic struggles of Star Wars: Shatterpoint capture the heart of the saga. And while that is tons of fun, there is a part of the fantasy that we can still further expand upon. In fact, some of the most cinematic moments come from our favorite heroes facing down swarms of foes and stepping into truly dramatic narratives. Cue Legendary Encounters!

Legendary Encounters

Legendary Encounters is a new asymmetric 3-player game mode where one player commands a mighty Galactic Legend, while two others join forces as cadres of warriors trying to complete a mission before being bested.

Players begin by selecting a Legendary Encounter Mission. One player chooses a Galactic Legend; the other two each build a cadre of 2 Secondary Units and 2 Supporting Units, all from the same era. The two cadre players are allies, but each has their own order deck, force pool, and turns, combining forces for a total of 4 Secondary Units and 4 Supporting Units.

The Galactic Legend

The first round of Galactic Legends are the Primary Characters from the Core Set. Their empowered forms are:

• Ahsoka Tano, Liberation Fighter
• Lord Maul, Driven by Hatred
• Asajj Ventress, Deadly Protégé
• Anakin Skywalker, General of the Republic

In this mode, the Galactic Legend gets to activate every time they take a turn and uses a unique order deck for thematic and dynamic actions that let them hold their own against two cadres.

While the Legend is the star of the show, they aren’t totally alone. Special Minion Units join them, such as valiant 501st Clone Veterans. These Minions extend the Legend’s influence across the battlefield and help control mission flow. Some Legends even get a choice! For example, Ahsoka Tano, Liberation Fighter may bring either 501st Clone Veterans or Mandalorian Freedom Fighters. As the Minion set list grows, so too will each Legend’s available options.

The Missions

Currently, there are two Legendary Encounter Missions, each asymmetric with distinct cadre objectives, such as clearing suspicious devices or destroying shield generators. The Legend’s task, in contrast, is much simpler: defeat the cadres.

This framework leads to unforgettable moments: Anakin Skywalker carving through droids intent on a shield generator, or Clone Troopers desperately facing down Asajj Ventress to disarm explosives. Any mission can be paired with any Legend and any era-based cadres, creating endless replayability.

Key Operations: Campaigns – Advantage Packs

We are also introducing new Advantage Packs for Key Operations: Campaigns. While the first two packs were designed to fit any Aggressor or Sentinel, these four new ones lean into the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance, offering thematic tools tied to these iconic factions.

• Rebel Saboteur Advantage Pack: Perfect for Aggressors inspired by Cassian Andor’s “at all costs” attitude, with abilities like Special Surprise or Nothing to Lose.

• Imperial Garrison Officer Advantage Pack: Suited for those who relish the authority of Director Krennic, granting access to Imperial Authority or the Emperor’s favor through Well-Funded.

• Rebel Freedom Fighter & ISB Agent Packs: Additional options that bring even more Rebel resourcefulness or Imperial discipline to your campaigns.

Whichever side you favor, these packs add flavorful mechanics to Key Operations and help strike teams embody the spirit of Rebellion or Empire.

Together, Legendary Encounters and Advantage Packs expand the scope of Star Wars: Shatterpoint with asymmetric battles, thematic campaign tools, and endless variety.
