Star Wars Unlimited: Ashes of the Empire Token Card Gallery

SWU ASH T01
SWU ASH T02
SWU ASH T03

There are two new token types for Ashes of the Empire: Mandalorian and Advantage.

Mandalorian tokens can be created using cards such as the Bo-Katan Kryze Leader, and arrive in play Shielded! Advantage replaces the Experience token entirely for Ashes of the Empire. It’s used when a unit attacks or defends once, and is then discarded. Finally, there’s the trusty Shield token, which has been in Star Wars Unlimited since the very first set.

What Else Is New in Ashes of the Empire?

SWU ASH Leia Organa Support

Along with the new token types, the Support keyword also makes its debut. You can see this on the Leia Organa card shown above. When a card with Support is played, you may attack with another unit, which gains the Support card’s abilities. Which means that, if you play Leia Organa, you can then attack with another unit which gains her “On Attack” ability to deal 1 damage to itself, then heal 2 damage from your base.

When Is Ashes of the Empire Being Released?

The release date for Ashes of the Empire is July 31st, 2026. It’ll be followed in October by Homeworlds, then Icons in November, but for now we’ll be concentrating on what’s coming up in Ashes of the Empire, which we here at Card Gamer are very excited about!
