Jyn Odan - Hero Review

Do you want a flashy hero? Maybe a hero that can do things that no one else can? Well then, Jyn Odan should be your hero. Comparable to Han Solo, he is a quick-drawing gunslinger who uses the best defense - a great offense.

Quick Draw is such an amazing ability. Although it is hindered by only 4 Endurance (and no class card to increase it) it is still one of the best abilities. Opportunist and a speed of 5 allow Jyn to be one of the fastest in the game. Although the 10 health and white defense die is underwhelming, if you use Quick Draw right, you should be able to avoid some attacks.

Build #1

This is going to be a pure value build that focuses on Jyn's best upgrades. To make Quick Draw worth it, I'm going to give her the Sporting Blaster. This is not only one of the best pistols in the game, it is one of the better weapons in the game. I'll add Cheap Shot, which is truthfully the best part about quick draw (the +1 damage is amazing). Finally, I'll finish with Get Cocky. This is amazing because it can make Quick Draw cost nothing (as long as you defeat them).

Build #2

Okay, I know that this is a little bit boring for Jyn, but I if you don't have many resources available, this is what I would suggest. Her Vintage Blaster and Cheap Shot is plenty to have an effective hero. So don't be afraid to take one for the team and go with a lighter build. Not only will this make your other teammates more powerful, but it will make you less of a target and allow you to do more damage. I might add an armor of some sort to make her more survivable, but really this is all you need.

Build #3

But, if you're not feeling genorous, or you have lightly-builded heroes with you, you can make Jyn a crazy hero. Start with Sidewinder. This, paired with Opportunist (above), will allow you to shoot and then take cover. This is so frustrating for the Imperial Player because they literally cannot keep up with you and you get to shoot. Next, as always, add Cheap Shot. I'll finish the build with Trick Shot. While I'm still not sure if this card is worth it, it's really fun to use and gives the Imperial Player a headache. You can make impossible shots and then run away so far that they can't catch you. Wow. Also, equipt her with whatever pistol you want. It doesn't matter that much for this build.
