Contain is helpful but not a 'full' defense token and salvo with 3 dice is welcome but it's not going to keep you alive any longer except in the rare circumstance it dissuades a weak ship from attacking you. The main issue being that the only tokens that directly interfere with enemy damage hitting your hull are brace and redirect.

Brace, redirect, contain, and salvo is a pretty solid 4-token suite.

This is definitely superior to being stuck at speed 2, but your total yaw at speeds 1 and 2 is double that of your yaw at speed 3. By which I mean it's similar to the Republic Acclamator in that you can go speed 3 if you have to, but your yaw is terrible.

Otherwise, they're identical in terms of their batteries.

Very similar dice loadouts - the only difference between their battery armaments are the Dreadnought replaces a blue die on each side with a red die.

Speaking of which, the Providence is a bit weird in that it's very front-shield-heavy but its side hull zones are its most potent offensively.

5/6/3 dice batteries are somewhat reminiscent of a Rebel MC75's 5/5/2, although the ranges are more standardized between front and sides compared to the 75's.

The Squadron value stands out a bit (as most larges vary between 2 to 4), but Separatists need those higher squadron values to push their cheap fragile squads en masse.

Pretty standard 'wave 2 large' profile of Command 3, Squadron 4, Engineering 4.

Identical points cost of 105 for both variants.

5 shields in front is superior to the ISD's 4, but 2 less hull points and only one redirect can cause problems.

Total durability a bit under an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, for a bit less cost.

Still not a fan of the new card layouts but we'll have some fun alternates below.īoth variants of the Providence have a lot in common:

I promise I'm done talking about turtles, but for real: it looks like a turtle. I can't be the only one who thinks it looks like a long-necked turtle, right?Ī pair of Providence-class Dreadnoughts on the move. It also kinda looks like a long-necked turtle. The first release of wave 10 (in the States anyways), the Providence-class Dreadnought offers the Separatists a dedicated multi-role flagship.
