Dark Side 1 Hard Node Characters
Sabine Wren
AKA Sabine
Overall rating: 2/4 (Niche uses)
New player summary: skip
Why build: Needed as crew member to unlock Chimaera.
Where acquired: DS1A
The good: Rebel and Mandalorian so flexible in squad placement.
The bad: Least useful unique ability means that with five slots and six Phoenix characters, she’s usually the one skipped. Better in a Mandalorian squad later in the game but never amazing.

Aka JKA
Overall rating: 4/4 (Highly recommended)
New player summary: build
Why build: Great character with a great ship. Required for General Skywalker (in turn required for Lord Vader) and Sith Eternal Emperor.
Where acquired: DS1B
The good: Retaliates when allies are wounded with bonus damage if all allies are galactic republic. One of the few Jedi that hits hard. Has an excellent ship with a similar retaliation mechanic.
The bad: He’s a key character in multiple teams and there’s only one of him.
Aka Dooku
Overall rating: 3/4 (Solid character)
New player summary: possible
Why build: Causes a lot of stuns, can solo entire teams in the right situations, required for Sith Eternal Emperor and Lord Vader.
Where acquired: DS1C, Cantina 6G
The good: Inflicts a lot of stuns, counterattacks. With zeta can recover protection and can solo weak teams.
The bad: great character that doesn’t fit conveniently in the typically used Sith or Separatist teams. Eventually the geos and droids go to their specialized teams and Dooku is left without a clear home team. Sith teams (Palpatine and Traya) often have better choices, though he’s definitely not bad.
Aka Consular
Overall rating: 1/4 (no real uses)
New player summary: skip
Why build: Don’t. Ahsoka, Barris, or even Luminara are much better. If you really wanted to use both Galactic Republic fleets his ship is OK.
Where acquired: DS1D, Cantina 3A, Fleet Arena Store (Avg)
The good: His ship is better than he is, but not by much.
The bad: weak damage, weak healing, and there are similar characters that are just better.
