His arrival in the game is highly anticipated, especially for players looking to optimize their Imperial Remnant teams.

But what makes Captain Enoch so special? Let’s break it down.

Captain Enoch’s Abilities

During Captain Enoch's turn if target enemy has Blight, Imperial Remnant allies gain Critical Damage Up for 1 turn and reduce the cooldown of Last Command by 1.

Captain Enoch comes equipped with a set of abilities that can turn the tide of any battle. Here’s a breakdown of what he brings to the table:

  1. Basic Ability: Die Well
    • Description: Captain Enoch deals physical damage to the target enemy and removes 5% of their Turn Meter. If the target is afflicted with Blight, he deals damage again. Additionally, if the enemy has Blight during Captain Enoch’s turn, all Imperial Remnant allies gain Critical Damage Up for one turn and reduce the cooldown of his Last Command ability.
  2. Special 1: Last Command (Cooldown: 3)
    • Description: This ability dispels all debuffs from Imperial Remnant allies, granting them Protection Up (60%) for two turns and a 20% Turn Meter boost. Enemies afflicted with Blight lose 5% Turn Meter. Allies with Decay gain Critical Avoidance Up for two turns, and a random Decay-afflicted ally assists, dealing 40% less damage. If all allies were Imperial Remnants at the start of the battle, attackers gain Advantage for one turn.
  3. Unique 1: Ominous Sentinel (Zeta, Omicron)
    • Description: Captain Enoch gains 75% Defense for each active Imperial Remnant ally. Whenever an Imperial Remnant ally gains a stack of Decay, they inflict Blight on all enemies, which can’t be copied, dispelled, or evaded until the end of the encounter. Enemies (excluding Galactic Legends) suffer from -450% Critical Chance. Imperial Remnant allies receive Protection Up (200%) at the start of each encounter, and whenever they’re damaged, other allies gain Turn Meter. Upon an ally’s defeat, they deal True damage to all enemies, but this damage can’t be fatal or evaded.
  4. Leader Ability: Arbiter of Decay (Zeta)
    • Description: Imperial Remnant allies gain significant boosts: +50% Critical Avoidance, +75% Potency, and +15 Speed. If all allies are Imperial Remnants and no other allies are Empire with the Leader tag, non-Droid Imperial Remnant allies are immune to Healing Immunity and can recover 100% Health and Protection when reduced to 1% Health under specific conditions. Allies with Decay benefit from increased Critical Avoidance, Tenacity, and Max Health, and Taunt for one turn when they gain Decay.
If all allies were Imperial Remnant at the start of battle, Attackers gain Advantage for 1 turn.
