Why doesn't Rogue 1 have a faction tag?
Just out of curiosity.
Meanwhile, down on the farm....

Faction tags are meant to be tied to abilities more than anything I think, and I'm sure that's why it doesn't exist (there are no rogue one abilities).
For instance, the Galactic Republic tag got added for R2D2's abilities.
Well, partially because the developers did so without actually calling it that, by requiring that specific subset exclusively for a TB mission.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
So we know who exactly the devs consider Rogue 1 toons.
Makes sense to me
Eh, I'd say that's self-explanatory. I mostly think they should add it so that we can filter our character inventory to only show those toons, for the sake of farming/gearing etc.
There's no such thing for Rogue One. Those characters are generic rebels, one is both a rebel and a droid. Yes, there's a single Combat Mission that uses only Rogue One characters, but that mission clearly shows which characters you can use.
Moreover, there are other missions that require Hoth Rebel Scout or Soldier, do you need a special tag for them? There was an event that used only female characters, do we need a special tag for them? A Combat Mission can have theoretically any limitation on who is used, it could be as weird as "Has Orange on their character model," we don't need a tag for that. Many, many, many moons ago "Human" was a tag, but nothing affected it, so they removed it.
Long story short--We don't need it. We only need a tag if there are effects that specifically seek out that tag.
Ships *
The tag was there for ships earlier, but it wasn't added to characters until R2 came around. So it's not necessarily a correction.
Yeah, I guess. There was a tag prior to that called republic that worked for ships. They kind of made a new one and merged it with that one, or renamed it and increased its range to characters as well depending on how you look at it. Either way is fine in my opinion. My point was basically that they didn't make the change until they had a character that could use the tag for an ability too.
oh ya, forgot about that. Wasn't trying to invalidate you or anything, I thought you made a good point
Yes +1 please.. I am OCD and like to make squads for GW that make sense, and have labels.
Also Ahsoka fulcrum needs the Phoenix tag. It is the only group of Rebels she fits in. It is silly to stick her in a rogue one or new hope team.
They can't do that because than Phoenix squad would actually be good.
No kidding!
I can imagine combining Chopper. Kanaan, FAT, and Zeb's uniques:
Perseverance
Ahsoka is immune to Damage Over Time effects and gains 30% Critical Avoidance. At the end of each turn, Ahsoka dispels all debuffs on herself and loses 10% Health for each debuff dispelled, then recovers 5% Health for each buff on her. This Health Loss can't defeat Ahsoka.
Clear Mind
Kanan has 70% Counter chance and recovers 25% Health whenever he suffers a debuff.
Maintenance Protocols
At the start of his turn, Chopper recovers 15% of his Max Health. In addition, whenever he is damaged by an attack, he gains Protection Up (15%) if he doesn't have Protection Up.
Shrug Off
Zeb has bonus Max Protection equal to +40% of his Max Health and recovers 15% Protection at the start of his turn. This recovery is doubled if Zeb is debuffed.
They wouldn't just be good, they'd be **** near unkillable.
I'm an officer in my guild and I have a small group of players assigned to me. When I look over their roster for recommendations on what to farm / gear / level etc. SPECIFICALLY FOR TB WHERE A ROGUE 1 TEAM IS NEEDED it's a pain in the neck to play "Spot the R1 squad" on swgoh.gg.
There are only 9 of them, so just write down(or memorize nine names) so you have a cheat sheet for swgoh.gg
Dude, really? You think having an actual faction tag wouldn't make this easier?
Then maybe take it up with swgoh.gg?
Phoenix get their own tag to differentiate them from the mass of rebels and so should R1.
