Unleashing the Dark Side: Marrok’s Kit Revealed in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes universe just got a little darker with the introduction of Marrok, a new dark side character featured in the kit reveal titled “I Love Marrok and Roll.” If you’re a fan of Ahsoka or just love adding powerful dark side characters to your roster, Marrok is going to be a big deal. So let’s dive into what makes him tick, how he fits into squads, and why you should be excited to roll with Marrok.

Who Is Marrok?

Marrok is a Dark Side, Support, and Mercenary character, also part of the Inquisitorius squad. Fans of the Ahsoka series will recognize him as the mysterious ally of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, and his in-game abilities reflect his chilling presence from the show. Blizzard has brought his dark, foreboding energy to life, with abilities that synergize well with both the Mercenaries and the Inquisitorius factions.

Key Attributes

• Support Role: Marrok excels at helping his team control the battlefield, whether by applying debuffs or boosting his squad’s power.
• Synergy: Works well in Mercenary squads, especially when combined with Inquisitorius allies. Marrok also focuses on the new Soldier of Fortune mechanic, which builds up stacks to fuel his devastating abilities.
• Purge and Expose: Many of his attacks revolve around stacking Purge and Expose, two powerful debuffs that make life difficult for enemies.

Abilities Breakdown

Basic: Spinning Slash

This is the bread and butter for Marrok. He inflicts Tenacity Down on enemies with Purge and provides Defense Up for his Mercenary allies. A spinning lightsaber that not only looks cool but also makes your enemies weaker? Yes, please.

Special: Desperate Getaway

This special ability deals damage to all enemies, exposes the primary target, and when Marrok has enough stacks of Soldier of Fortune, applies Ability Block on everyone with Purge. The ability to reset its cooldown based on the number of stacks consumed is key to chaining devastating attacks.

Unique: Masked Hunter

This is where things get interesting. Marrok gains extra Health, Protection, and Potency, making him durable while also helping his Mercenary allies build Offense. Marrok’s ability to assist his teammates during their turns is a critical element, boosting the squad’s overall performance.

Soldier of Fortune Mechanic

Soldier of Fortune stacks enhance both Marrok and his allies’ offense. The more stacks you collect, the more damage and debuffs you can unleash on enemies. Stacks are consumed during Marrok’s special attacks, but they return benefits like Defense Penetration and health recovery for the squad.

Strategy Tips

To maximize Marrok’s potential, stack Purge as much as possible. His special attacks rely on Purge to trigger extra effects, like resetting cooldowns and applying additional debuffs. His synergy with Mercenary squads means that choosing the right combination of allies is crucial for squeezing every bit of power out of Marrok. With Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati in the same squad, you’ll be sitting pretty on the Holotables.

Another key tip? Marrok can help Inquisitors tackle the Third Sister shard mission in Territory Battles, giving them a much-needed edge in those fights.

How to Get Marrok

Marrok will be available through his Marquee Event, which starts on October 3rd. To fully unlock him, you’ll need to complete all tiers of the event, with Shin Hati required from Tier 2 onward. Make sure you’ve invested in these characters, as later tiers will require them at Relic 5 to Relic 7.

Conclusion

In summary, Marrok brings a powerful new toolkit to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, perfect for players looking to beef up their dark side squads. With abilities that apply debuffs, synergize with both Mercenaries and Inquisitors, and help dominate Territory Battles, Marrok is set to become a favorite among dark side players.

So, are you ready to rock and roll with Marrok?
