Holy smokes this TM reduction + gain ability isn't limited to troopers, This is the level of flexibility that a Galactic Legend should have
Glad I finished my DT farm in the double drops lol
And demoralized being a unique is amazing on its own. I can see this toon take out multiple GLs without requiring one
Was about to say, Rey + Vandor Chewie + Gideon lmao
Magma trooper and his tm reduction seems like a nice attacker.
The problem is that then leaves veers,starck,pimp,snow or death, and storm trooper as your b trooper squad
The 30% Hp/prot is not worth using a tank.
Interesting point. I was kind of bummed for not being able to bring piet and veers, since veer's turn meter gain is on his unique it might be worth dropping a tank for unyielding damage.
"While Moff Gideon uses the Darksaber in the stinger for the final episode of Season 1, we never see him fight with it. Since this version of the character is based entirely on his screen time in Season 1, we knew that while we had to include the Darksaber, but left it to function identical to Sabine’s Special (only with a longer cooldown)."
This makes absolute sense, and I appreciate the thinking on this.
@mesa176750 @slickdealer You need a DS tank to get the 30% bonus though...

So this kit looks absolutely nuts, but I just would like to know, why is that extra clause in there? Armor Shred has always been permanent whether or not it's stated in the kit description, although it does drop each encounter as opposed to each battle, but that doesn't seem like it would ever be relevant unless we get Gideon as a PvE enemy in a multi-encounter setting, such as TB or a raid.
I'll have to go back on my earlier statement that he can take out multiple GLs - Troopers can already take out SEE without him
Remains to be seen if they can push up against JML or not, I wonder how effective he will be in challenge tier rancor raid than anywhere else tbh
No need.
It's a debuff there is nothing stopping it from working on a GL.
It does. It's not a real team so there is nothing to miss.
Do each one of these revives count as a “defeat” to trigger the Wall of Stormtroopers zeta?
