Each hero shares their ability with a villain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important these Abilities are distributed equally between both teams to balance the game better,\u201d said Lola Guilldou, Senior Line Designer. \u201cThis gives each player equal footing when planning their team of Heroes and Villains and strategizing a counterplay against their opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chewbacca<\/strong>\u2019s Wookie Rampage, <strong>Reva<\/strong>\u2019s Thirst for Revenge: <em>Advance to next opponent and fight<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Leia Organa<\/strong>\u2019s Rebellion Aid, <strong>Cad Bane<\/strong>\u2019s Slight of Hand: <em>When you pass an opponent, steal 100 credits<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Yoda<\/strong>\u2019s Master and Mentor, <strong>Emperor Palpatine<\/strong>\u2019s War and Corruption: <em>Upgrade locations twice a turn<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Bo-Katan Kryze<\/strong>\u2019s Justice Served, <strong>Count Dooku<\/strong>\u2019s Sith Control: <em>Spend 300 credits to send a random opponent to jail<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Finn Deserter<\/strong>\u2019s Rebel on Duty, <strong>Boba Fett<\/strong>\u2019s 2-6 Boost: <em>Move 2 tiles forwards or backwards<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jyn Erso<\/strong>\u2019s Generous Contribution, <strong>Fennec Shand<\/strong>\u2019s Crime Family: <em>When you land on an ally location, earn double the resupply (rent) value<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Luke Skywalker<\/strong>\u2019s Echoes of Hope, <strong>Darth Vader<\/strong>\u2019s Imperial Judgement: <em>Call in Wedge Antilles\/a Storm Trooper to affect a location within 3 tiles<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mace Windu<\/strong>\u2019s For the Republic, <strong>Asajj Ventress<\/strong>\u2019 Pride and Fear: <em>In combat, allies throw one extra die<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/strong>\u2019s Wise General, <strong>Kylo Ren<\/strong>\u2019s Power of Darkness: <em>During a GO event, reroll your dice if you failed the roll<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Padm\u00e9 Amidala<\/strong>\u2019s Diplomatic Endeavor, <strong>Dedra Meero<\/strong>\u2019s Spy Network: <em>Claiming locations costs 50% fewer credits for allies<br \/><\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Rey<\/strong>\u2019s Never Give Up, <strong>General Grievous<\/strong>\u2019 I Wield Great Power: <em>Enter combat with random opponent.
