The daily login character for March will be an all new unit that recovers quickly from debuffs and deals potent AoE damage.
The new unit is the Magmatrooper. He's a Resilient Attacker that recovers quickly from debuffs and deals potent AoE damage. His abilities include dealing physical damage to enemies with a chance to damage another, deal physical damage to all enemies and remove turn meter ignoring armor, and gains turn meter whenever he resists or suffers a negative status effect.
So just log in every day and get a free character! Thanks CG! Much appreciated.

Hope the toon is farmable so that it will not be another useless toon.
I certainly hope so too! Hopefully in cantina or in shipments. Otherwise it would take too long if it's only available in hard nodes.
Is he clone , empire or what?
The Internet is a good thing.

Lol ask @cosmicturtle333
It doesn't say. I reckon he will most likely be empire, but possibly first order.
Yes he looks red in the wiki.
Magma stormtrooper
Did they appear in any movies? Comics? Cartoons? I don't remember seeing them in the films.
You are welcome! Kind of excited to play with a brand new hero too! Sure will be worth the wait to finally obtain enough shards to activate him. Besides he's free, so why not? Just want everyone to know beforehand so as not to miss one day of not logging in and missing out on him.
It's not a joke. Please refer to the patch notes.
Patch notes for next week's update.
Nice, and with the boost to Royal Guard we could have a new empire team/meta with Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, General Veers.
Do I smell Empire event in the air?
I think he's talking about everyone supposing to be hyped about a magnatrooper being the joke.
The scent is quite pleasant and charismatic. It evokes of tingling sensations of space.
An Empire pack with character unlocks and shards will be released at the same time of the Empire event.
Yes! Especially since there's an Emperor Palpatine boss already. He could be the unlockable character!
Too bad I'm working hard to build my Jedi and First Order teams at the moment. Maybe down the road they could do a First Order event with Supreme Leader Snoke as the unlockable character!
Hopefully they do! I have unlocked most FO heroes and have Phasma and Kylo at 7* max gear. FOTP and FOO are still low stars but I won't mind hunting for their shards if the event is announced later on.
I wouldn't expect Snoke before he is fully revealed in the movies, and that will most probably happen in ep. IX... But they do seem to be setting up an Empire event, giving one character for free, reworking another to be useful. Before the Jedi event, they buffed Mace and made QGJ farmable, this might be the case too.
True. And they are moving a hero to the cantina from chromium so that he become farmable.
"Another character will be moved from Chromium Packs to Cantina Battles 1-E and 5-F."
Based on past patterns, this character will be 2*, which means they will also need to add some way of farming him for him to be useful.
I haven't even discovered the game back then so I had no idea. Started to play when Cad Bane was in the login rewards and couldn't complete him. No way to farm him except from chromium packs.
Hopefully March's free character can be farmed.
Wouldn't that be a bit like Close Sergeant - Phase 1 suppressive fire?
They don't consider there to be a credit problem. Want more credits? Buy them in the store.
The events were made cruddy on purpose.
It's Thermal Imploder.
