Zam to attack five times in a row?
Zam's Basic at Max:
Detonating shot - deal physical damage and immediately explode all thermal detonators. Gain 17% turn meter for each detonated that explodes this way for each scoundrel ally.
First, we build an all scoundrel team. Let's assume Greedo and Zam place their thermal detonators and each enemy has two detonators in round one. Zam will gain 170% TM on her first basic attack in the second round, creating s chain effect that can last for five attacks.
Did Zam just single-handedly make thermal detonators a viable special? Let's discuss.

Meh. Too much reliance on detonators. And I bet that ability gets resisted a lot
97% potency at max. Pretty decent
Yeah. I had this same idea for another game like this. The shapeshifter should take on the abilities and attributes of which ever opponent attacks them for one turn. They keep their own star and gear level. This would discourage strong opponents from attacking them.
Also If you have the right characters, Zam should be no problem for you... Rebel and Clone teams should handle her with ease
Rex, and Ackbar can dispel the Detonators from your squad using their dispel team abilities. Ewok elder also has this ability.
Zam isn't a toon to be afraid of.
Edit: I meant Rex not echo
Zam under an Evasion leader may present a bit of a challenge. The tough part will be killing her, not dealing with multiple attacks in a row...
B2 (though he is Paid only right now) is an excellent counter to Zam... You can lower her evasion, and if she still evades(would remove the evasion down effect due to her dispelling herself due to her Unique ability)you will be able to potentially gain 100% turn meter and put the negative evasion right back onto her.
Edit: Typo
However, the AoE evasion down might be very good to help Lando against dodge teams, and she should attack pretty quickly as long as she always hits a target with a TD.
Perhaps she might even make some great combo with JE? Probably not, but might be fun to try.
You make an excellent point, she makes an excellent addition to new scoundrel team possibilities... But she is too reliable on the detonators, which can be dispelled.
And if they are dispelled, she can't put them down for 5 more turns... (Level 8 detonators ability has a 5 turn cooldown)
need to be teamed with Nute, Greedo, Mob Enforcer and Jawa Engineer to ever get 100+ TM.
Still desirable and will improve detonators imo
The poisonous bugs had more screen time. Jango with an allfather leader ability that could enable clones and boba on the same team would be unique.
You realize Old Daka was in Clone Wars for 10 seconds right? Screen time means nothing. Which can be good or bad. They're probably saving Jedi Knight Obi Wan for a special event.
Please this
And the other 2 don't need to be ones that can use detonators
If Greedo AND Zam use their detonator abilities, all of the opponents will have 2 detonators on them each. (Both Greedo and Zam apply detonators to all enemies)
With 3 total allies (Zam not included) and a 17% turn meter gain for each, PER detonator, you get 51% Turn Meter for each detonator, and since there are 2, you end up with 102% turn meter.
Theoretically, she could attack all 5 enemies at once, because she will gain 102% turn meter for all 5 attacks.
A team such as this would be able to protect Zam, with RG Taunt, and Zam evasion. Plus additional Speed for the whole team except RG
Lando (L)
Greedo
Zam
Han Solo
Royal Guard
Although Zam is still easily countered if the other side had Team Negative Effect Dispel.
I never heard of Old Daka before this game and I own every book. I get it, SW Rebels. Yet they shun Talzin?
Just kidding
Either way she will be rediculously fast.
Um no.
It's per detonator, maybe not at level 1, but check these abilities.

"for each detonator that explodes in this way
Edit: And no scoundrel allies on her team gain Turn Meter, Just Zam
The confusion was that she apparently gets all of the tm herself (17xD)xA when D=# of detonators and A=# of scoundrel allies. I originally thought that "for each detonator that explodes in this way" every scoundrel gets 17% tm
I was misunderstanding you lol
