KOTOR Miniatures Preview - Jar Jar Binks

Posted by Bryan | August 18, 2008 at 12:33 AM ET

    Some of you love to hate him, and others hate to love him! Next up in our series of KOTOR Miniature previews from Wizards of the Coast's newest set of Star Wars gaming miniatures, is Jar Jar Binks. "Yousa follow me now, okie-day?"

Somehow, the fate of the galaxy has done exactly that. Two Jedi followed Jar Jar Binks to Otoh Gunga, then followed his lead to reach occupied Theed and rescue a captive queen. A Gungan army followed him as a bombad general during the Battle of Naboo. The Gungan people followed his lead as Senator. The Galactic Senate followed his motion to create the Grand Army of the Republic to combat the Separatist threat.

Most likely, he is as surprised as anyone.

In the Star Wars Miniatures Game, Jar Jar Binks is essentially a walking gimmick that forces your opponent to fight on your terms. Position him where he is within 6 squares of allies you want to protect and within 6 squares of one or more enemies. If any of these allies are attacked, you can use Draw Fire to force that enemy to target Jar Jar instead. At that point, Bombad Gungan can come into play, potentially redirecting the attack at a character of your choice within 6 squares. You only have a 50% chance to successfully use Draw Fire, and only a combined 25% chance to successfully use both Draw Fire and Bombad Gungan, but this is enough that your opponent will be forced to plan around it.

Ideally, position Jar Jar so that he is adjacent to as many enemies as possible. If any attempt to attack him, they'll trigger Bombad Gungan. If they attempt to move so that he won't be the only legal target, they'll trigger an attack of opportunity from him. Granted, his attacks of opportunity are as weak as they come, but it all adds up, and weaker enemies (such as Battle Droids) will be particularly vulnerable to the chaos he brings to the fight.
