TIE Fighter Pilot
Empire Attacker who inflicts Buff Immunity and gains Foresight
vete5skqm8i5.png

Available from: Daily Login for the month of Oct

Abilities
BASIC Attack – Targeting Computer

  • Deal Physical damage to target enemy and deal 20-35% more damage for each enemy suffering a debuff. Inflict Tenacity Down for 2 turns on a Critical Hit.
SPECIAL Attack TIE Strike

Deal Physical damage to all enemies with a 50-80% chance to inflict Buff Immunity for 2 turns. (4 turns Cooldown)
Unique Ability – Evasive Maneuvers
  • At the end of each of his turns, for each debuffed enemy, TIE Fighter Pilot gains 10% Turn Meter and has a 23-35% chance to gain Foresight for 1 turn.
General Strategy
  • With high base speed and potency, TIE Fighter Pilot is able to inflict Buff Immunity to the enemy team at the start of the battle and gain Foresight to protect himself from incoming damage.
  • TIE Fighter Pilot’s Basic Attack – Targeting Computer gets a large damage bonus per debuffed enemy. Keeping negative effects on your enemies will maximize TIE Fighter Pilot’s potential.
Hero Synergies
  • TIE Fighter Pilot is able to recover up to 100% Turn Meter with his special ability under Emperor Palpatine’s leader ability. Making him able to immediately fire off his buffed Basic Attack
  • Maintaining detrimental effects on enemies will increase TIE Fighter Pilot’s damage and survivability, making him the ideal attacker in teams with other debuff-focused characters such as Old Ben Kenobi, B2 Super Battle droid and Captain Phasma.
  • While optimized for placement in an Empire squad, he performs well in other squads as his kit isn’t particularly bound to Empire ally requirements.
Where to Use
TIE Fighter Pilot makes up for the lack of burst damage in the current Empire faction while continuing the unique characteristic of the Imperials in weakening the enemies with negative effects. He will be a valuable addition to any team that is looking for characters that provide additional utility on top of high single-target damage.

  • Tenacity down on a basic, RIP Dengar's use in raids. Unless you make him chromium after the login which I doubt

    1. Login chars will pretty much always become F2P.
    2. TIE FP looks like he's actually going to be good.
    3. Guild shipments is the slowest farm.

    "lack of burst damage"

    hits for 21k without offense up

    Seriously. We get it, you want Palpatine to be mandatory. I wouldn't even be surprised if Palp came back in Aurodium.

    The power creep is getting out of hand. Get your **** together CG.

    Wedge? Wasn't F2P for a while and then straight to cantina.
  • Kozispoon, this is excellent! New character profiles are a smart move.
    If your video is choppy, Tap on video screens to see fluid playback.
  • This seems to be very good,but why the biggs in video doesnt get tm?isnt tie pilot an empire character?
    where is darth jar jar?

    Excellent point! Unless his TM ability is labeled a "buff" on the coding. Still though, he has to receive the HIT first (which triggers the TM gain) and then debuff is applied, which would only work if the TM gain was actually a "buff".

    This needs confirmation/clarification.

    Well i dont think tm gain is a buff,because if you check palpatine's "shock" ability description,its says immune to buffs AND extra tm,so they arent the same thing
    where is darth jar jar?

    Cad Bane took several months after being the daily log-in to be ftp farmable.

    Honestly this guy looks too good to be anything but chromium.
  • This guy is perfect for an empire team just what they needed

    I believe he will be chromium. But, no matter what, he won't be cheap. And he won't be easy to get
  • If hes f2p after this month he should go into galactic war shippments. Thise go by fast and need more character within it.... and we already have at 3 exclusives in guild shippements please no for a 4th, dengar, jawa engineer, and Gamorrean guard are enough for now
  • There really needs to be another GW character added. I would love for it to be TFP, but I would settle for anything. I'm tired of wasting GW credits in the shard shop.

    It would seem at least the next one anyway. Not many people got him the last time - none on my shard.

    Was Cad Bane in chromiums before or after being the daily login character?
    TFP will most likely follow Dengar's model of release

  • Together with Palpatine boom char. As if they're not op already
  • Question:
    Do DoT count for the BASIC Attack – Targeting Computer bonus damage and for Unique Ability – Evasive Maneuvers (TM + Foresight) ?

    Maybe they'll put him in the shard shop with the equivalent cost of Grievous. Would give me something to dump 50k shards on.
  • I really hope not. But if the did, TFP would be worth it. Unlike GG.
