    So how did everyone's favorite Klingon benefit from his new version in the First Contact expansion? Well, let's see. He retains his Honor x2 and Navigation, as well as his command star (since technically, he wasn't a member of the Enterprise-E). His CUNNING is increased by one--a help, although it makes Worf vulnerable to Hunter Gangs. The biggest change is his trade-off of SECURITY and Diplomacy to gain OFFICER and Leadership.

    Now, sure, the two former skills are valuable enough, but isn't it time Worf deserved to count as a leader in battle? Finally, Worf has the ability to download the interrupt Assimilate This! This is a helpful card to put in your Q's Tent, good for foiling the Borg timeline disruption attempt or toning down a Rogue Borg attack by nullifying Crosis, as well as causing a point reduction. Overall, Worf fared pretty well, although he certainly hadn't received the greatest benefit.

     

    Combos:
    Worf + Assimilate This!: And don't come back!

    Worf + Worf: With the new persona rules, you can switch back and forth between the original and the First Contact Worf (say, if you need a particular classification for Kurlan Naiskos or Senior Staff Meeting). And fear not - should the original Worf be caught in command of a starship with Borg running rampant, he can still count as a leader with Prepare Assault Teams
