Dewback Trooper Info

Summary

 * Dewback Trooper is a 4 energy cards which deploys a slow, powerful dewback which deals melee Area of Effect damage to enemies.
 * It deals with most close-range troop swarms quite well.

Characteristics
Dewbacks are large and have brown scaly skin. Whenever they attack enemies, they usually make use of their head to shove enemies back and use their sharp claws to swipe at Rebel troops. Although slow, dewbacks have a large pool of hitpoints. When it dies, it appears to roar in pain before falling to its side. The stormtrooper riding it carries a very long black pole which is used to attack enemies in melee whenever the dewback is killed.

Strategy

 * Dewback Troopers deal Area of Effect damage, so they can deal with moderate swarms quite easily. They fare less well against tanks and long-ranged units, due to their low attack and movement speed.
 * Although Dewback Troopers are good for tanking and dealing with groups of enemies, but it can't win against turrets alone. You should make use of its high health to spawn Death Troopers or Rocket Stormtroopers to get in extra damage.


 * Dewback Troopers are best at countering swarms. If you see one, you should firstly retreat if you are on defensive mode. That way the dewback will be in range of your turret. Its low movement speed means that it will be hit multiple times and defeated faster. Place something with good health and good attack like a Wookiee Warrior or even a Gigoran Rebel.
 * Do not drop multiple units in front of the Dewback Trooper. If you do, drop reinforcements immediately
 * Because the Dewback Trooper is kiteable, you can make it follow you and make your turrets shoot at it. It will die easily and it is a positive energy trade for you.

Trivia

 * A Dewback Trooper appears in one scene of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It is seen looking for the droids R2D2 and C-3PO to capture for the Galactic Empire.
