Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, the popular mobile game, has unveiled a new character kit for Darth Bane, a legendary figure in the Star Wars universe known for originating the Sith “Rule of Two.” The kit reveal showcases Darth Bane’s unique abilities and synergies, particularly with Sith Eternal Emperor, making him a formidable addition to any roster.
Overview of Darth Bane’s Abilities
Darth Bane, categorized as a Dark Side Leader, Attacker, and Sith, brings a set of powerful abilities to the game:
- Basic Ability – Soul Sever (Zeta): Deals physical damage, reducing the enemy’s offense and increasing Bane’s offense. Critical hits grant Siphon stacks, and enemies defeated by this attack can’t be revived.
- Special 1 – Malevolent Whirlwind (Omicron): Dispels buffs on enemies, deals physical damage, inflicts Healing Immunity, and benefits from increased Health Steal. If paired with Sith Eternal Emperor, gains additional Ultimate Charge.
- Special 2 – Essence of Dominance (Omicron): Deals damage based on Bane’s Max Health, increases enemy cooldowns, and Siphons Max Health from the target. Sith allies gain various buffs.
- Unique 1 – Rule of Two (Zeta, Omicron): Enhances Bane’s critical chance, damage, and Health Steal. Gains benefits when Dazed and when an enemy starts their turn. Special synergies are activated when paired with one other non-Summon Sith ally.
- Leader – Only The Strong Survive (Zeta): Boosts Sith allies’ offense and speed, with additional penalties for Light Side and Jedi enemies. Provides defensive buffs at battle start and benefits when a Sith ally is defeated.
BASIC: Soul Sever (Zeta)
Darth Bane’s Strategic Synergies

His abilities encourage using just two characters, making him a strategic choice for players looking to create a high-powered duo.
