NEW CHARACTERS
Three new characters make their debut on the Holotable to help you craft your team.
For more information on these updates, please see their Character Strategy posts below, but be mindful. Hatred… is a fragile alliance at best.

SITH TRIUMVIRATE RAID

The presence of the Darkside is here to make itself known.

Phase one abilities:

  • Unbreakable Will:Gain Unbreakable Will for 1 turn. This unit may only use this ability once, but an additional use can be gained by defeating Menacing enemies. Survive any attack at 1 Health, must be targeted by enemy attacks, Speed -10%, Turn Meter can’t be modified.

Phase two abilities:

  • Soothe: Remove all stacks of Cycle of Pain and Cycle of Suffering from this unit
    • Cycle of Pain: +20% Offense per stack, can’t be Resisted, can only be Dispelled by Soothe (max 5 stacks); Sion also gains 5% Offense and 10% Counter Chance
    • Cycle of Suffering: +150% Offense, can’t be Resisted, can only be Dispelled by Soothe; Sion also gains 50% Offense and 60% Counter Chance

Phase three abilities:

  • Stand Alone: Face Darth Traya without relying on the strength of others. For 3 turns, this unit takes 50% less damage and all other allies become Suppressed for 3 turns. Suppressed allies grant this unit a portion of their stats based on their roles.
    • Tanks: +100% Tenacity
    • Attackers: +100% Offense
    • Supports or Healers: +100% Maximum Health

    Activating Stand Alone removes all stacks of Bonds of Weakness from Traya. This ability has a global cooldown and can only be used by each unit once.


Phase four abilities:

  • Soothe All: Granted to Healers and Supports. This ability functions like Soothe, but affects all allied units and removes stacks of Bonds of Weakness and its damage increase.
  • Stand Together: Granted to Attackers and Tanks. Remove Isolated from target ally.
  • Unbreakable Will: Granted to units when they kill an enemy.

Special buffs: In this phase, Traya has a buff called From the Shadows, making her untargetable and invulnerable until both Nihilus and Sion are defeated. In addition, defeating Nihilus or Sion will grant a buff to the remaining Sith Lords until the end of the raid.

  • For defeating Sion: Savage Ambition: This unit gains 10 speed (Stacking), and 5% Critical Chance (Stacking) every time they perform a move or score a Critical Hit.
  • For defeating Nihilus: Dreadful Ambition: This unit’s damaging attacks reduce the target’s Offense by 10% for the rest of the battle (stacking, max 30%).
