Here is the latest Developer insights from the guys over at Capital Games on Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. 3p1h5b
Few pairings in Cloud City.
The Basics:
- Threepio & Chewie are inspired by the offensive style of Chewbacca with the role of C-3PO to create a unique character can fill both these positions in a Rebel squad
- His Special abilities recover Protection and can stack up Offense, and when these abilities are combined, they are particularly useful in multi-encounter battles
Unique Attributes:
- There are only a few characters that can deal multiple instances of damage with a single ability and Threepio & Chewie can inflict AoE damage up to 6 times with his Special 2, Chewie’s Rage
- Threepio & Chewie are called to assist whenever Rebel allies use any ability, including Basic Abilities
- His Unique, I Must Tell the Others, prevents all Blinded enemies from attacking out of turn
- It’s going to be hard to keep these two down as Threepio & Chewie’s Unique allows them to revive any time another Rebel ally revives
Inspiration:
- We are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Empire Strikes Back and we really wanted to find a unit that would bring something fun and unexpected for this occasion
- We have also wanted to add an additional variation of both C-3PO and Chewbacca for a while now and this gave us both in a single unit
- With as bright as Cloud City’s corridors were, we felt it thematic that was Threepio’s golden body would be able to blind opposing units
- We purposely used the two units’ nicknames of Threepio and Chewie to help set the unit apart even further from the units C-3PO and Chewbacca
- Special 2, Chewie’s Rage, inflicts AoE damage multiple times and is great for dealing with stacks Droid Battalion on Light Side Geonosis
- Focus on giving Threepio & Chewie the final blow with his Special 2 to gain stacking offense
- Threepio & Chewie should be paired with other Rebels to increase the number of assist calls
- Don’t wait for the best moment to use Special 1, it has a low cooldown so try to use it frequently
Squad Suggestions:
- Old Ben’s Leader Ability can synergize with Shining Distraction to provide an ally Turn Meter whenever they evade an attack due to the enemy being Blind
- C-3PO can allow Threepio & Chewie to use Special 1 every turn if Threepio & Chewie have 3 stacks of Translation and C-3PO has used his Basic before each of Threepio & Chewie turns
- This can be hard to maintain before you already winning the battle
- Scarif Rebel Pathfinder or Cara Dune can keep Threepio & Chewie in the fight with their constant revives that will bring back Threepio & Chewie if they are defeated
