How Does Support Work in Star Wars Unlimited?

How does the Support keyword work in Star Wars Unlimited? Let's take a look at the new keyword, debuting in Ashes of the Empire!
Support Cards in SWU Ashes of the Empire

The eighth set for Star Wars Unlimited, Ashes of the Empire, introduces the Support keyword. It’s the latest in a long line of keywords which really shake up the game and allow cards to act in really interesting, unforeseen ways. So let’s check out the Star Wars Unlimited Support keyword!

Cards which have Support activate the keyword when they enter play. They then allow another unit to attack, and that unit can use the Support card’s abilities too.

So for example, if you play the Leia Organa card shown above, you can then attack with another unit immediately, with the attacking unit being able to use her On Attack ability. If you play the above R5-D4 card, you can attack with another unit and use the R5-D4’s On Attack ability!
