UNIT NAME: IG-12 & Grogu
ALIGNMENT: Light
CATEGORIES: Light, Healer, Mandalorian
Key Attributes:
- Heal and dispel debuffs from your allies
- Call allies to assist when using your Special abilities
- Disrupt enemies by inflicting Blind and Daze
Inspiration:
- Once we heard IG-12 & Grogu in action, there was no way we were naming the abilities anything else
- We made IG-12 & Grogu a pacifist and a Healer as he really values protecting his friends and is more into stopping conflicts than contributing to them directly
- We wanted a fun debuff for the enemy side and took the scene where IG-12 & Grogu steal the meiloorun fruit as our inspiration for the animation for it.
- Grogu, if rendered alone to our game’s scale, would be nearly impossible to tap target on his own. Putting him inside something larger, like IG-12, helps us solve the UI dilemma while delivering a fun moment from the show!
- It’s Grogu!
Strategy Tips:
- Team up with Light Side Mandalorians to fully take advantage of IG-12 & Grogu’s Unique Ability
- All of IG-12 & Grogu’s Healing is based off of his Max Health, so modding for more Health is optimal
- When paired up with The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor), IG-12 & Grogu gain the Scoundrel tag which opens up a multitude of possibilities under The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor)’s Leader ability

Yes! Yes! Yes!
(and before you say, "yeah but Grogu isn't and he's the one in control" and to that I say that Chewie & Threepio isn't a "droid" either yet .....)
I’d wager this is an instance where he’s not labeled a droid because he’s not intended to work with them, but rather with the light side madalorians. On top of that, I do think it could be argued that “IG-12” is really more a glorified suit of armor than a droid at this point.
We go over this all the time, CG adds tags to characters so they perform the way they want them to and not make some teams too strong.
Not in this kit
It's not intended for a squad that is available right now...
