Welcome to Episode 91! In this episode, Kenny and Sam are joined by Michael Plummer from AMG to talk about AMG's design process and the recent balance patch. We tried to focus on systemic questions of design for Plummer and how those principles were manifest in the recent patch update. It's not a unit-by-unit analysis, but much more a conversation at thirty thousand feet regarding concepts at work. Plummer loves his food metaphors, and those really wafted through the conversation.

You will love it.

Kenny, Sam, & Matt review the changes to Galactic Republic Units in the May 12, 2025 balance update for Star Wars: Shatterpoint.

Please join the Slack! We are having a blast yelling at each other about the changes and would love for you to join us.

Whew boy did AMG have at the top-performing units in the Empire, and some (most (nearly all)) of us couldn't be happier. AMG absolutely nailed the changes to Gideon Hask, ISFs, and Dark Troopers, while also giving a huge lift to Inquisitors.

Welcome to Episode 88! In this episode, Titus Kosloff (the recent winner of the Tablebound Open in Ontario, Canada), joins the podcast to talk about his Cassian-Core List, with Cassian/Lobit(!)/Fifth + Moff/Ezra/Darks + Han Box + PL/K2/Bar2. It is an incredibly unique list that went 6-1 at one of the most competitive events of the year. Titus discusses Cassian, and there's a big focus on this list's matchup into Republic Jedi (which we both expect to be strong post-patch).

Check out Kyle Russell's tablebound.ca, it's an awesome website with incredible Shatterpoint products.

Join the Slack! We expect the patch to drop this week, and things are gonna be crazy.

Welcome to Episode 85! In this episode, Matt Bronson of Bombad Tactics and many other avenues of fame joins Kenny to give a preliminary take on expected winners and losers of the next meta. Matt and Kenny use Matt's recent tournament win at the Wet Coast GT in British Columbia to frame their discussion as to what they think thrives and struggles in light of what AMG has told us regarding incoming nerfs. It's a great discussion and as always Matt has the best insights.

Welcome to Episode 84! This episode is a kind of high-level discussion analyzing Shatterpoint units through the frame of the online MOBA DotA. We discuss carries, supports, and offlane/tanks and how they function (or are supposed to function) and how that affects our understanding and analysis of a unit's quality. All of this is very likely to go up in smoke come the May Rebalance (TM), but for now it's a fun interim discussion that we know you will enjoy.

You can also watch this on YouTube, where JK has some beautiful slides to guide our discussion.

Welcome to Episode 83 of Zion's Finest! This one is a bit of a sweaty episode, as Kenny provides an overview of the Top 8 from Adepticon and Sam gives an incredible review of "meta share," meaning how units were represented in progressive stages of the cut from swiss to the final match between Scott B. and Matt B. It's an amazing discussion that you will love.
