UNIT NAME: Doctor Aphra
ALIGNMENT: Dark Side
CATEGORIES: Leader, Support, Scoundrel


Key Attributes:
  • Summons a hacked Commando Droid
  • Siphons Potency from enemy team to benefit her team
  • Great synergy with Dark Side Droids, BT-1, and 0-0-0
  • Additional synergy with Darth Vader and Krrsantan
  • Potent debuffs that debilitate her opponent
  • Multiple Omicron abilities that greatly enhance her capabilities in 5v5 GAC

Inspiration:
  • Doctor Aphra was first introduced in the Darth Vader (2015) comic series as an obtainer of dangerous tech and a droid expert. She worked as Vader's personal operative, stealing a load of Imperial credits, building a droid army to fight cyberneticist Cylo V, and finding out Luke Skywalker’s identity.
  • Aphra obtained the Rur crystal while investigating the Ordu Aspectu with her father, who had blackmailed her into helping by temporarily revoking her doctorate. Needless to say, her family life was hectic.
  • The Rur crystal houses the ancient artificial intelligence Eternal Rur who has the power to control droids.

Strategy Tips:
  • Doctor Aphra has a great deal of synergy with Potency, which can be further enhanced through modding.
  • Although she works best alongside Dark Side Droids, BT-1, and 0-0-0, she also synergizes with Dark Side Scoundrels, Darth Vader, and Krrsantan. Exploring these varied team compositions will help give you the edge you need depending on the content you’re looking to conquer.
  • Go Fast, Go Boom

FAQ:
Does Aphra’s Siphon work differently from Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s?
Kylo Siphons Mastery, Doctor Aphra Siphons Potency.

Does Doctor Aphra receive 50% Turn Meter once if BT-1 and 0-0-0 are present, or twice?
Doctor Aphra receives 50% Turn Meter for BT-1 being present and 50% Turn Meter for 0-0-0 being present, which can equal, you guessed it, 100% Turn Meter at the start of battle.

When does her event start?
Her event will begin immediately after the next game update. This event will be permanently available in the Journey Guide.

    Holy, that's quite the kit. Looks, cool, balanced, and the animations are great!

    Edit: First, I guess
  • Special 2 animation is pretty impressive
  • I am assuming the omicrons are where it says 5v5 GAC, it’s not noted as such. Also why is there a need to call out Darth Vader and Krrsantan? Why would they even go near this squad? Seems fishy.

    They were her partners in the comics, prob not actually going to be used in the team, just some more lore based callouts
  • Crazy Kit
  • Nice. Love the Vader Synergy

    Intentional that Unique gives AB and HI immunity to Krrsantan but not Vader?
  • Why the Hondo hate

    What kind of debuts specifically rely on potency to stick? Rather, will debuff a that can’t be resisted count as a potency reliant debuff?
  • Woah
    Once a Jedi, always a Jedi. Wait... never mind.

    Seems odd, but it’s a lot of words, so most likely a typo

    Also, answer your DM’s please and thank you.

    The stacking potency here seems to be more beneficial for the bonus damage. Debuffs that can't be resisted need 0 potency. Meanwhile, there is always a 15% chance to resist even if you've siphoned 10 million potency and they have tenacity down.
  • Are CG unaware that Krrsantan is a Dark Side Scoundrel? And so doesn't need to be called out by name in the Dangerous Tech and Droid Savant abilities?

    other than her leader, no point mentioning Krr with DS scoundrels, yeah
  • I have to say, I’m interested in the heavy incorporation of potency in her abilities. It’s a nice change from the usual “only big speed matters, and nothing else” philosophy that most characters suffer from. There should be more characters that utilize other stats outside of speed, or punish enemies for being too fast.
  • What omicrons are worth it?
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?
  • Nice character, thanks for addig her into the game!
  • looking forward to seeing this kit in action
