Add Skiff Guard (Lando Calrissian) to your roster by unlocking him in the all-new “GUARD DUTY” Marquee event!
The Basics:
- Light Side, Attacker, Hutt Cartel, Scoundrel, Smuggler
- Lando works best in both Hutt Cartel and Scoundrel factions
- Will synergize well in a squad with the new Galactic Legend Jabba the Hutt (coming soon)
- Defense Penetration helps Lando do consistent damage
Unique Attributes:
- His ability Covert Coordination gives bonuses to characters based on if the target is Dark Side, Light Side, or Hutt Cartel. This distinction represents his dual role as a Skiff Guard for Jabba and a spy for Luke and crew as they rescue Han
- Granted Ability – Hutts Favor: Damage dealing based around Lando’s Max Health and the amount of debuffs the target has, plus more!
- Has the ability to give Armor Shred through Deep Cover
Inspiration:
- Kit design is focused around Lando acting as an undercover agent, infiltrating Jabba’s palace and blending in as one of Jabba’s Skiff Guards.
- Being undercover he doesn’t have the Rebel faction tag, and while he’s still light-side aligned, he needs to sell his loyalty to Jabba through his actions by working directly alongside him.
- Our first Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary Celebration Character
- We already have Lando from Episode 5 and Younger Lando from Solo – both of these characters really hone in on the “Gambler” aspect of Lando’s character. We wanted to do something different with Skiff Guard (Lando Calrissian) – his two new buffs, Deep Cover and Trusted Agent, really play on his undercover nature, and can assist allies from both Light and Dark sides.
- Unlike the other two Landos, our Skiff Guard (Lando Calrissian) is a Strength based character instead of Dexterity. This was inspired by his ability to hold on tight and keep himself from getting eaten in the Great Pit of Carkoon – as we saw in The Book of Boba Fett, those tentacles are pretty impressive!
- One of the main goals for this kit is to get 5 stacks of Deep Cover to earn Hutts Favor which allows him to attack again whenever he uses a basic attack.
- Mod Suggestions – Critical Chance/Offense, Offense/Health
