Leader – Master Inquisitorius (ZETA + OMICRON)

Empire allies gain 20% Max Health and Max Protection and 10 Speed.

While in Territory Wars: While Grand Inquisitor is active, whenever an enemy loses Purge, they regain it at the end of the turn. On their turn, Inquisitorius allies can ignore Taunt to target an enemy with 6 stacks of Purge.
UNIQUE: Compassion Leaves a Trail (ZETA + OMICRON)
Final Text: For each Inquisitorius ally, enemies with Purge have -10% Defense and -5 Speed.
If an enemy evades an Inquisitorius allies’ attack, all other enemies take true damage and dispel Foresight from themselves.
The first time each enemy reaches 6 stacks of Purge, Grand Inquisitor takes a bonus turn and gains 10% Critical Avoidance, Health Steal, and Offense and 5 Speed until the end of the encounter (stacking, max 6). These bonuses are doubled if the enemy is Jedi.
While in Territory Wars: Whenever Jedi enemies with Purge gain Protection Up, they take damage equal to 25% of their Max Health at the end of that turn. This damage can’t defeat enemies. If an enemy with 6 stacks of Purge were to reduce Grand Inquisitor to 1% Health, he recovers 100% Health and Protection (limit once per enemy).

Inspiration:
- As the leader of the Inquisitors, we wanted him to be a powerful cornerstone to an all-Inquisitor team.
- The uniform for our version of Grand Inquisitor was pulled from Star Wars Rebels, while Rupert Friend (the actor who portrayed him on Obi-wan Kenobi) was the inspiration behind his visage.
- Pain Can Break Anyone, You’re Right to be Afraid, and Ready to Die? were inspired by quotes from Star Wars Rebels, while Compassion Leaves a Trail is from Obi-wan Kenobi.
- Grand Inquisitor was designed to challenge Jedi Galactic Legends who are on teams without their “lifter” units (i.e. Commander Ahsoka Tano) in the Territory Wars game mode
- Keep an eye on Purge stacks to maximize Grand Inquisitor’s multi-attacks and bonuses from Uniques
- Special 2 can swing a battle in your favor or soften a hard mark if used correctly
- Most of the Inquisitors have the exact same base Speed, allowing you to mod them to take the turn order you are looking for.
FAQ:
How often will the Grand Inquisitor Event be run?
Initial run lasts for 7 days (same as JKL)
Recurrence will be similar to other Legendaries
Does “Compassion Leaves a Trail” count defeated Inquisitorius allies as well for the debuffs?
No, the allies must be active to count for the debuffs. As Inquisitors are defeated, the debuffs will shrink.
Is Torture’s “max 50%” per time you are Tortured or a total max that you can be debuffed in the combat?
You cannot have more than 50% of Defense reduced by Torture, no matter how many times it is re-applied.
Any tips for beating his Event in the Journey Guide?
Each tier is two encounters, the first one being a training session against the Grand Inquisitor, and the second against a Jedi or Unaligned Force User. Many tiers become a lot easier if you use the proper Leader to counter what the enemy is bringing to the battle.
