About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of Star Wars: Imperial Assault and looking to spice up your campaign or standalone matches, the Hera Syndulla and C1-10P (Chopper) Ally Pack is a must-have! This duo brings the might of the Rebellion to your table, with Hera leading the resistance and Chopper ready to deploy his astromech tricks in battle. The pack adds these iconic figures to the game, allowing you to include them in your missions. Hera might guide you on daring adventures, like rescuing Chopper himself from Imperial imprisonment on Tatooine, or simply orchestrate your squad with masterful precision. Chopper, in turn, is more than capable of handling himself, using his unique tools and abilities to disrupt enemies and secure the advantage. It's your chance to inject more flavor and strategy into the Imperial Assault universe, expanding tactical possibilities with characters we know and love (or love to hate, Empire-wise!). Get ready for more epic battles in a galaxy far, far away!
For those unfamiliar, Imperial Assault is a miniatures game featuring both campaign and skirmish modes, where one player controls the Imperial forces and the others command a group of Rebel heroes. This ally pack introduces these two characters to the roster of available heroes, enriching tactical and narrative options. Hera Syndulla is a natural leader, capable of inspiring and coordinating her team, while C1-10P, or Chopper, is an astromech droid with unique combat and support abilities. Together, they offer new strategies and challenges for Rebel players, whether in specific campaign missions or quick skirmishes. The addition of these miniatures and their specific abilities promises to bring more variety and depth to your game sessions, maintaining the tactical and thematic essence that makes Imperial Assault a hit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the Star Wars: Imperial Assault base game to use this pack?
Yes, absolutely! This is an Ally Pack, so it adds new playable characters to the base Imperial Assault game. Without it, you have nowhere to use Hera and Chopper.
How many players can use Hera and Chopper at the same time?
This pack adds two heroes that can be used by one of the Rebel players in games for 2 to 5 players. They occupy one hero slot on the Rebel team.
Does this pack add new missions or just characters?
This is an Ally Pack, focused on adding the heroes Hera Syndulla and C1-10P. They come with their own hero cards and abilities, which can be used in both campaign and skirmish modes, but it does not include new exclusive missions.
Are Hera and Chopper's cards in English?
Yes, this product is an international expansion and the cards are in English. To play with them in Portuguese, you would need fan-made translations of the cards.
What is the average playtime with this pack added?
Imperial Assault's playtime varies significantly depending on the mode (campaign or skirmish) and the mission. This pack adds heroes but doesn't significantly alter the base playtime of 60-120 minutes per session.
Is it a complex game to learn these new heroes?
Imperial Assault already has a moderate learning curve. Hera and Chopper add new abilities and synergies, but if you're already familiar with the game's basic mechanics, learning to use them is quite straightforward.
