FINAL TEXT: Stun the enemy Capital Ship for 1 turn. Dispel all buffs from all enemies and remove all Protection and Turn Meter from them (including the Capital Ship). Affected enemies can't recover Protection or gain bonus Protection for the rest of the battle. These effects can't be dispelled, evaded, or resisted. This ability starts on cooldown.

Unique: Let Them Come

FINAL TEXT: Separatist allies have +50% Critical Avoidance. Malevolence triples the effects of Buzz Droids on enemies.

Each time the Malevolence uses a Special ability (except Call Reinforcement), it summons a Vulture Droid if there is an available slot on the battlefield. The Malevolence gains 30% Turn Meter whenever an allied Vulture Droid is defeated.

Whenever another Separatist or Droid ally uses a Basic ability, they gain a stack of Overcharge for 2 turns if an ally is already Overcharged.

Reinforcement Bonus: Reinforcements gain Overcharge for 2 turns.

    This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

    Go Pens!
  • Just read the Kit Reveal for the Malevolence, and the Vulture Droid swarms look amazing.

    However, it raises the following question:

    Is the strength/power of the summoned Vulture Droid a function of the Capital Ship’s Power or personally owned Vulture Droid’s?

  • Apparently it's not good yet :p

    I’m ready - just waiting to whale out on his ship. Curious if 7* VD is required to make the summons VD’s that much more powerful.

    Hoping Hyena Bomber being able to circumvent Taunt and Grievous’ Ultimate stopping HT from gaining Protection Up is enough time overtake GK’ Negotiator.
  • Looks nice, but can it fly?
  • As mentioned above, it would be great to know whether the summoned Vulture Droid’s stats are determined by the Malevolence’s stats, your own Vulture Droid’s stats or some other way. It would also be good to know if the summoned VD will be the exact same as our own individual VD in regards to stat distribution. Please CG, let us know :)
  • Its going to be based on Malevolence stats... summoned units are based on summoner stats... at least thats the way it has been so far

    From the Dev Insights:

    Q: Why makes this ship interesting and unique?
    CG_M: This capital ship is all about Vulture Droids and synergizing with swarms of these ships. Whenever you use any capital ship special abilities, it summons a special version of the Vulture Droid into any open slot. This obviously creates a whole lot of Vultures throughout the battle. Bring your own playable Vulture Droid and then enemy is going to be fighting waves and waves of fragile attackers. Finally, don’t forget that Vulture Droids have a chance to assist when attacking Buzz Droid inflicted enemies. This means you can bring to bear an incredible amount of firepower with a fleet full of Vulture Droids.

    Special Version = Not based on our own Vulture Droid. Probably means it's stats scale w/ the cap ship, but they might also just be set values and not change.
  • The ultimate ability bonus protection of endurance will still work, as it says cannot be prevented, right?

    Not that I'm thinking endurance has any chance against this, just checking.
  • Grievous's day in the skies has arrived at last!

    Here is footage of a Negotiator trying to take down his Malevolence. The GR pilots are all relic'd, according to Reddit

    Dang, I thought he had it in the bag when he trashed Spy and Vulture on the same AOE right at the start.

  • Why summoned Vultures or those replace Vulture Droid do not apply buff immunity?
