Battle cards are used to define the battlefield during Setup. They determine what the players need to do to score victory points, where their armies can Deploy on the table, and define special conditions on the battlefield during the game.
- Standard 1000 pt games use three types of battle cards: Primary Objective cards, Secondary Objective cards, and Advantage cards. There are comparable cards for 600 pt Recon games, which are slightly different (to account for smaller boards and shorter games). Scenario cards are not used in competitive matches, but can allow players to set up, and then play through, fun situations that are inspired by our favorite Star Wars scenes!
- As part of the army building process, a player makes a deck of 9 battle cards, containing three of each type (Primary, Secondary, Advantage), with no duplicates. Players collaborate during the Building a Mission segment of Setup to determine the Primary and Secondary Objectives from their game, using both of their decks when doing so.
See each category of Battle Card's page for a list of each documented card:[]
- Primary Objective Cards
- Secondary Objective Cards
- Advantage Cards
Prior to the 2.6 update to the game, the Battle Cards were known as Objective, Deployment, and Condition cards. They are no longer supported for use in Star Wars: Legion, but links to these cards are included below for historical purposes:
