Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Content Update 11/8/2017

Soeren Kamper Galaxy of Heroes

Here are the Game Updates for 11/8/2017

NEW CHARACTERS
This month Kylo Ren is unmasked! This release includes his ship, the TIE silencer, the First Order Special Forces TIE Pilot and his ship, the First Order Special Forces TIE fighter. These units are perfect for crushing the Resistance!
Kylo Ren (Unmasked) gives the First Order a survivable Tank whose ability, HALT, can Stun his opponents for 2 turns. SCARRED increases his survivability by reducing how much percent Health damage he takes and let him recover Health and Protection. Finally, his Leader ability, MERCILESS PURSUIT, gives First Order Increased Speed, Critical Damage, and Turn Meter gain on Critical Hits.
His ship, the TIE silencer, is a ruthless attacker with the ability to Stun opponents who have 50% Turn Meter, or more. Additionally, this ship will gain stacks of Speed and Offense Up when damaging, or is damaged by, ships who have Target Lock.
The First Order SF TIE Pilot is an AoE attacker who inflicts Defense Down, gains Advantage, and focuses on disrupting opponents. His ship, the First Order SF TIE fighter, now brings consistent Target Lock for the First Order and, like its pilot, a significant source of AoE damage.
Kylo Ren (Unmasked) and the TIE silencer become the backbone of your First Order squad, while the First Order SF TIE Pilot and his TIE fighter bring more options to the First Order.

CHARACTER UPDATES
The new ability description for Kylo Ren’s “Lash Out” is as follows:

Lash Out
Deal Physical damage to all enemies and gain Retribution for 2 turns. This attack can’t Critically Hit and deals bonus damage equal to 50% of Kylo Ren’s Critical Damage. First Order allies and allies with Advantage gain 25% Turn Meter.

With the introduction of the Kylo Ren (Unmasked), we needed to update Kylo Ren’s Special ability “Lash Out” to prevent an exploitative strategy.

After much discussion between Design and the Game Balance team, our solution is to make “Lash Out” unable to score Critical Hits, but gain bonus damage based on Kylo Ren’s Critical Damage. This way, Kylo Ren will still be able to benefit from Kylo Ren (Unmasked)’s leader ability and bypass any enemy effects that trigger on a Critical Hit, such as General Kenobi’s “Soresu” and Barriss’ Zeta Upgrade on her passive ability “Swift Recovery”.
