Character Strategy - Tusken Shaman

Prev13
e191jl8sdlna.png


Offensive Healer that can also boost Offense and rapidly stack Damage Over Time effects.

Basic: Desert Toxins
Deal Physical Damage to target enemy with a 70% chance to inflict Damage Over Time for 2 turns. This attack inflicts an additional Damage Over Time effect if that target was already suffering a negative status effect.
Special: Rite of Savagery
All allies gain Offense Up for 1 turn and recover health equal to 10% of Tusken Shaman's Max Health, plus an additional 5% for each enemy suffering a Damage Over Time effect.
Unique: Master Storyteller
Whenever any unit is defeated, all Tusken allies gain 10% Turn Meter and and recover 5% of their Max Health.


Overview
Having both a recovery skill with Rite of Savagery, and a meter fill with Master Storyteller, the Tusken Shaman serves to amplify the Tusken synergy between Tusken Raider and URoRRUR’R’R!

Where to use
In dark side battles, you fight wave after wave of enemies in order to reach the boss encounter. Tusken Shaman is one of the rare dark side healers that not only recovers your units, but also ensures that turn meters of your Tusken allies fill up with each enemy defeat.

Unit Synergy
Besides Tusken Shaman’s heal and meter fill abilities, the shaman also has a basic attack called Desert Toxins which deals damage and applies a DoT on a single enemy, and an additional DoT if the target was already suffering a debilitating effect. URoRRUR'R'R has the ability to stun lock units, allowing Tusken Shaman to apply two DoTs in a single attack.

    BLESS THE LAWD. Finally, it's confirmed. I knew I wasn't farming URoRRuR’R’R and TR for nothing.
    Thanks for the update @EA_Jesse.

    Cooool!!!!
  • Yeah, missing a smegging trick here once again EA, I would've happily put money down on for the Tusken Shaman but no, I haven't spent nearly enough (even though I've spent more than a full price PS4 game). The whales would've put money down on this anyway so why cut everyone else out of this AGAIN. I'm wanting to build a Tusken squad, this was what I was waiting for, **** you EA
  • @EA_Jesse kindly add this toon to the GW tookens.

    I'm not buying this data pack (I think the 3* characters should be less crystals than 4* like Rex), and would love the healer, but to have people pay $250-300 for him and then release him to GW is a bit rude. Maybe in six months.

    this ^

    Guildies in TNR questioned why I was farming URoRRuR'R'R. Who's laughing now.... Actually they are still laughing and still probably thing I'm crazy

    I don't see him :(
  • Just faced a 7 star Shaman in arena (P2W server confirmed :tongue: ) and meh...I honestly don't know what he brings to the table. Slow, low damage. There are way better healers in the game than him, so I don't know. Maybe he's better with the other tuskens but I have my doubts.

    This toon looks absolutely great, and ties the other Tuskens together nicely! Too bad both my URoRRuR'R'R and Tusken Raider are under developed. Can't spend resources on bringing them up to date, so I've decided to not get the shaman either. But very tempting!
  • Try again EA. Give us a real toon.

    Did you check the skill set? Tusken Shaman is a beast. All that turn meter manipulation, plus AOE Offense up PLUS healing... Just imagine them giving a healing ability to Poggle. People would cry OP for days on end.

    After asking for new characters for months, people are now angry that they got a new one that didn't trigger some nostalgia in them. I really don't get their problem; he does in fact have a great skill set and pairs well with the other tuskens.

  • ****, you need to spend almost 200 dollars just to unlock the data pack for him? What a ******* joke.
  • This is great for the people who farmed Tuskans as they'll now have a usable team to play with. I'm uncertain what type of impact he'll have, especially when the new meta gets released. We'll have to see but I hope he stays relevant because I'd hate to see any character become useless to players, especially when they spent time farming them.....

    I got all 3 tuskans max geared and almost max abilities. I would say Tuskan shaman is great, Tuskan Raider is fantastic, but Urrororororororororororor...rororororrorororor is kind of lack luster. I hate how they have made the fastest character in a synergy be the ones who gives 100% turn meter.

    So, 139 speed I think is Urororororr, and the others are around 120. So on his turn, he can give 100% turn meter.. but it doesn't matter any since your team is about to go anyway. Maybe he will be better at 80, when he gives speed up as well.

    I won't make any changes to my arena team till the fortitude patch, but I am hoping it will allow me to run 3 tuskans with RG and Rey (or maybe Rex lead.. but really dont want to give up rey).

    Currently, in GW, the Rex + 3 tuskans + RG, is not enough damage. Or at least, nothing compared to the dooku lead teams with Rey.

    lastly, on Tuskan Shaman. Giving all tuskans Sid's healing ability is crazy good. Makes up for the heal not being the best (sure you can run her with Sid, but.. sid just isn't that good right now). Maybe vader will work.
  • I really like the Tusken Shaman, I was hoping they would add more Tuskens. I just don't like Urrurur, he should have been a tank and given him a taunt along with his abilitis. But I use them with Offee, because of the HP increase it makes them that much more tankier. I can out last those brutal Duko attacks now and QGJ attacks because of how much HP they have and Offee just full heals them and if they get low again I got the Tusken Shaman heal to back it up. His passive heal when any one dies give the others a little bust to get the job done next round. Run it with Darth Sidius and you have three people who heal off unit death. Plus the Sidius aoe helps add more DOTs to help the heal bonus. I think the shaman is a good addition, just can't wait to see what other Tuskens they add.

    I read in another thread that Tusken Shaman heal is bugged, healing everybody for a percentage of their own health instead of a percentage of Shaman's health, as the skill description says.

    Seriously. If that's the case... Can GC release ONE toon that isn't somehow broken right from the start? This is getting old.

    Interesting, I will check this today. I don't believe it's the case though... because the heal is the exact same for everyone. Maybe the "bonus" heal is bugged.

    Will report back.

    Edit: @nonemo Looks like you are right:

    I also, noticed when the Shaman does the DOT he keeps healing himself every time your team is attacking the opposite toon who has the DOTs. This may be a bug too. It's a nice big though :)

    Shaman has 10% life steal, maybe that is what you are seeing.

    You are right. I love this Shaman. I was finally able to complete all the 7 DS nodes thanks to him. I always have trouble with Daka & Thalia. I had to babysit Thalia but she was an easy target most of the time. Now, with Daka & the Tusken Shaman is golden :)

    Only with the Aurodium Data Pack. Similar to Rex: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/22780/community-update-3-25-2016#latest

    You can only see this packs if you spent $200 on the store.

    It's not just you, I've been 0/6 for 50% of the past month, and 1/6-3/6 for the rest. Compared to Rey and Dooku he seems to be much rarer. Obviously I can't confirm that in any way though.
