Jyn's two-dice attack is also a bit lackluster, in that she often won't remove figures of a similar cost. Her best roll in terms of damage, which I would measure at a total of 5 (3 damage, 1 surge), won't remove Vinto, an Elite Jet Trooper, an Elite Weequay, or an Elite Gammorean Guard. All of these figures have a similar cost to Jyn, and all have the ability to remove Jyn in a single attack with their best rolls (6 damage or more). For her cost, she should be able to trade better with similarly costed figures.

Now, it's no surprise that Jyn doesn't quite hold up against the figures I've mentioned. The power level of Imperial Assault units has generally increased over time, and Jyn was included in the core set. Yet, despite her lackluster stats, Jyn Odan still has a lot to offer.

Strengths

Before going into the aspects of Jyn that I love, I want to recognize that Hair Trigger and Cunning both alter Jyn's offense and defense to her benefit. Undoubtedly, these are powerful abilities, even if they are a bit unreliable.

Yet, for all the time I spend poring over damage potential and survivability, I often overlook some of the finer strategies in the game. And, given that Jyn's biggest strength is her ability to stun two units per round with correct positioning, she falls into the category of characters with a strength that is difficult to measure. On top of that, she requires practice, as the execution of this plan requires more finesse than simply spending an action to perform two attacks.

One can't deny the power of Jyn's surges. 2 accuracy and 2 damage is an incredible value - extending Jyn's range and damage at the cost of a single result, allowing her dice to go further than an opponent expects. However, the real star of the show is Jyn's ability to surge for pierce 1 and stun. Stun is an incredibly underrated ability in Imperial Assault, considering that when utilized correctly, it can negate an attack by a melee unit (and even a ranged unit if the positioning is correct). Thus, while Jyn may not trade evenly when comparing dice and health, she has the benefit of temporarily removing a threat from the board for an activation. Probably two threats if positioned correctly.
