+No Unique40th Anniversary VaderNo Unique card
This leader has no Unique card. Use the slot for another strong card from your side; the game won't let you add another leader's Unique.
Every leader's Unique card
Each leader has one Unique card made for them, and the game only lets that leader use it. Anakin gets Ahsoka, Vader gets Doctor Aphra, Thrawn gets Governor Pryce. Here's every pairing and why it works.
The rules
- Unique cards can be used only with their own leader. The game files spell it out: each Unique is bound to one leader, so Royal Guards only work with Palpatine, and IG-88 only works with Bossk.
- So each deck holds at most one Unique: your leader's own.
- Two leaders have no Unique: 40th Anniversary Vader and 40th Anniversary Luke. Their decks use 7 regular cards.
- Always run it. Uniques are among the strongest cards in the game, and several leaders' abilities only work with theirs (Luke and Ben, Baze and Chirrut, Hera and Chopper, Moloch and Rebolt and Syke).
