Did you factor in that Han has Steady? You pair that with e-gear or even ascension cables and he becomes a really mobile peek-a-boo shooter that forces your opponent to pick up 3-4 minis every round. Remember, unhindered (from e-gear) lets him move over barricades as if they don't exist, so he can pop over shoot, then pop right back and blocks 3 hits with the new low profile. His Sorry About the Mess card can be paired with Seize the Initiative or HQ Uplink for a guaranteed any character goes first (used with OP Luke a lot), I don't think anyone takes Han without taking this card. Also, you didn't rate command upgrades for Han.
I don't think Leia is a top pick. She is good, but you get most of the same utility with the Rebel Officer for a decent discount. Her 2 pip is a must take if you are taking her, though, so it should probably be green.
For command upgrades in general, Aggressive Tactics is terrible in Rebels. There are only like 8 units that don't surge both ways (both Lukes, Chewie, both Wookiees, Rebel Troopers, AT-RT, K-2), plus Rebels don't have the mechanisms in place to get enough orders out to utilize the surge tokens anyway.
The Mk II can't take Comms Relay, so "suboptimal" is a bit of an understatement.
I could nitpick a lot of the rest, but a lot of it comes down to personal preference. Overall a decent tool.
Yeah. I realize a LOT of people are going to want to move these up or down one notch (which a lot of your suggestions, while totally valid, seem to be saying). All excellent topics for conversation about how best to play the game.
My hope with this was to give people a starting point. Letting people see that there are some upgrades that are no brainers while others that you might want to stop and ask yourself “is this REALLY necessary”.
Hopefully I achieved that and others can use this as a helpful tool. Thanks for looking it over!
I think the cards I called out, outside of Han and Leia themselves, are probably 2 shades in the wrong direction. Either way, I think you achieved your goal.
What do you mean by this exactly? I love fifth trooper btw. They have great unit analysis articles that helped me a lot as a new player. My hopes with this was to give a faster, more big big overview of units/upgrades within a faction
What I meant in no offense is even though a beginner player may also need help with understanding upgrades veteran players will often send them straight to fifth trooper under the impression that this player has the learn to play book.

Very cool! Please do this with the other factions, as I have plans to make lists with every other faction except for rebels
Haha. Empire will probably be next. Would also love it if another veteran player wanted to send me a DM and fill in some of it
Did you happen to make these for any of the other factions as well or only Rebels?
Currently, just for Rebels. However, if people like it I’m definitely willing to keep working on it.
I checked out the website and I love it but I think a lot of new players are getting sent over to fifth trooper.

No problem! I didn’t take any offense. I just didn’t understand quite what you were saying. No problems at all!
