| Just pulled a second Xen'Drik Champ.
here's the qustion. Is a second Xen'drik a keeper or trade fodder?
an answer to this qustion and any feedback on the Xen'Drick's usefulness in skirmish would be very helpful.
My thanks to the masses in advance | |

| | hold onto it. it is a good piece, even if it isn't(quite) tier 1. with the proper commander, the xendrik could become a powerhouse. | |

| | The answer, like the answer to most questions, is that "it depends". If you can get an awesome trade out of it, or fill another need for your set, then I would trade it away. Otherwise, if your set's done and there aren't any awesome trades to be had, it is a Drow in a unique pose, so probably a keeper. | |

| | One day, with the right leader and stuff the Xen'Drik champion might be a good piece. Sadly, today is not that day. | |

| | I would probably keep it too. With the right commander it could be a lot of fun. Hopefully that commander will be in Wardrums... | | | |

| | I own 5 Xendrick champs, and I'm keeping them all. As everyone else said, this figure just needs a small edge from a good combo to be tier-1. | |
Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |

Forgive my lack of knowledge here, but I keep seeing everyone talk about how awesome the XChamp is, and I must have missed the original discussion of why. Does the skirmish damage work on his ranged attack? | |

| No, shirmish damage is only for melee. He would be tier-1 without a combo if it worked for ranged attacks.

| It's not only the skirmish that makes the fig worth it's points.
The whole stats make a very cost efective piece. With lvl 9, speed 8 and better-than-average 20 def. and an pts/HP Ration near 2, combined with two good attacks. It's one of the figures that make me thing wow.
