Commander is a rank of unit in Star Wars: Legion. Click expand to see the Rules Reference's glossary on "Commander".
The icon indicates that a unit has the rank of commander.
Commanders are powerful heroes and villains that can issue orders to other units. When building a standard army, a player may include up to two commander units.
- Each unique commander has three command cards specific to that commander which can only be used if that commander is included in an army.
- Commander-specific command cards are identified by the image in the upper-right corner that matches the image on that commander’s unit card and by the name of that commander appearing below the name of the command card.
- A player can include any number of a commander’s command cards in their command hand, but can include no more than one copy of each card.
- If a player’s last commander is defeated, that player can promote a new commander during the End Phase.
- To promote a commander, a player chooses any of their trooper units on the battlefield and places a commander token next to that unit.
- When a player promotes a commander, they discard that unit’s order token from the game and replace it with a commander-rank order token.
- A player activates a promoted commander using a commander-rank order token instead of the rank printed on the unit’s card.
- A unit that has been promoted to commander does not retain its previous rank. It is considered to be a commander and to have the rank of commander for all game effects and game play purposes.
- In the rare instance where a player no longer has a trooper unit to promote, they no longer have a commander and cannot play command cards.
- If a unit is at range 1–3 of a friendly commander, it may use that commander’s courage value instead of its own when checking to see if it is panicked.
- A courage value of “–” is considered infinite when checking whether a unit is panicked, including when a unit is using a friendly commander’s courage value.
