QUESTIONS
Question: The lead omicron for Malgus says for each SE ally at the start of battle, SE Allies gain +10% Crit Chance, Max Health, and +10 speed, does Malgus include himself?
Answer: Yes
Questions: Does doubt function like a normal debuff? If so, and it could theoretically be removed via an ability from Malgus’ team like culling blade, does that count as an ‘expiration’ or a ‘dispel’?
Answer: Yes, Doubt functions as a normal debuff and an ability like "Culling Blade" would count as a Dispel"
Question: Does Doubt stack?
Answer: No

So pretty cool to see Malgus being added, and as a strong unit (conquest not marquee)
nvm found it: We Have Returned: +5% Critical Damage and Offense per stack
Time to worry about Things again I see this will be fun.
You must be super excited to unlock him.
So sick of this. Where is Bail Organa, Saw Gerrerra, people who actually happen in *real* star wars ffs.
Honestly, leave toons from video games and cheesy legends books to that. Not a single toon from the sw resistance show.
Keep it canon and stop making fake characters OP in the game.
Hate to break it to you but all Star Wars characters are fake. This game has never been beholden to canon anyway
last I checked, every character in star wars was fake.
On top of that, KOTOR and the old republic in general is considered some of the greatest star wars content out there, albeit only if you're versed in it.
Considering SWTOR is still ongoing AND the KOTOR remake is coming out, it's likely they are being embraced into official canon as well.
You want a Resistance Show character and you dislike Malgus / KOTOR?
No words
That´s flipping amazing
SWTOR better than any prequel or kids cartoon character
He is canon
you assumed no force can challenge you
and now ...
finally ...
...
WE - HAVE - RETURNED !
L moment
Beautiful. It's sad that it's 3 months away from unlocking. Darth Malgus is really one of the best characters in SW Universe i'm really happy. The only part i'm concerned is that i think Malgus is a GL level of a character but i can see that if they decided to put Malgus on a level of a Conquest Character then i think we will get the GL Revan announcement soon. By the way add that Immune to Healing Immunity thing to Lord Vaders kit without ult state.
Anyone else think this might be likely? Any other guesses for Conquest/Galactic Legends?
