On June 16th, 2025, AMG published a big points update for Star Wars Legion. And while it was seen as a massive bump to the Empire, it wasn’t just the points that helped in that way.
It was especially helpful to see the new format for points changes, in an easy to read chart that clarified the changes.
Alongside the points update was a Universal Upgrade sheet that had 12 new upgrade cards, many of which also heavily helped out the Empire!
Cards like Dug In, seriously help out troopers with Prepared Positions. Normally being on the board early opens you up to long range fire, but now with red dice for cover saves, odds of shrugging off damage goes up drastically!
Door Gunners offer a way for transports to have an extra attack, helping restore some functionality to units that had lost some of their appeal with AMG’s new rules update.
And the only “Universal Upgrade” to be faction locked, (which makes it not universal at all), is Imperial March. This is a multi function card that really help trooper mobility, especially snowtroopers that can now move faster and still take advantage of the “Steady” keyword. Additionally you can discard the card to gain Charge, which helps this card shine exceptionally well on the poorly received Riot Control Squad.
