Kit Reveal: It’s not a Booma! O.K Booma
UNIT NAME: Gungan Boomadier
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Attacker, Gungan
Key Attributes:
- Can add stacks of Plasma Shielding to the Shield Generator!
- Damage is amplified when attacking enemies who have been debuffed by Captain Tarpals & Boss Nass
- Horn of Otoh Gunga gives Gungan Boomadier Frenzy and another Gungan ally a Bonus Turn (That’s Bananas)
- While the Shield Generator is up, any Special ability that Gungan Boomadier uses will provide him with stacking Defense Penetration and Offense
Inspiration:
- When figuring out who the Gungans in the squad would include, we took the concept of the Gungan Militiagung and broke it out into both the shield-bearing Phalanx and the unit we’re talking about today, the Boomadier
- We wanted to include the iconic Horn of Otoh (Oh-Tuh) Gunga in the squad somewhere and it felt at home here on Boomadier
Strategy Tips:
- Best when used with all Gungans
- Speed and Crit Chance are solid mods to look at
- Where Boomadier goes in the turn order will benefit your damage output

I'd honestly like to see someone make a better drawing than this.
I'll wait.
Probably. Still want to see the Tank (and also is Retribution on the other two units? A neat sneak peak if not.)
Is this the original concept art?
Doot doot
Why does special 1 animation appear to be an aoe, but the ability is single target? Just confusing.
I was thinking the same thing. Read the description like 5 times to make sure I wasn't missing something
It looks like it hits all separatists. So if you are against a full separatist team, it hits everyone. If you are up against Bossk bounty hunters and you target bossk, it also hits Jango. That's at least how I'm reading it.
That's what I thought on first glance, but i think its that it deals additional damage (up to 5) per debuff, but if target is a sep, it deals 5 additional damage regardless of debuffs. I don't think its an AOE, but gonna ask in the Q&A
i think you are right here.
its a strange one because it probs should be an aoe like backpack chewie.
