Unveiling Jocasta Nu in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen Galaxy of Heroes

In the ever-expanding universe of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH), the introduction of Jocasta Nu has sparked considerable excitement. Known as the Jedi Temple’s chief librarian, Jocasta Nu brings a unique blend of wisdom and firepower to the game. Recently, the developers at Capital Games hosted a Q&A session to shed light on her character design, abilities, and role within the game. Let’s delve into the key takeaways from this insightful discussion.

Jocasta Nu: The Librarian with a Lightsaber Rifle

Jocasta Nu isn’t your typical librarian. In the Darth Vader comic series, she wields a formidable lightsaber-powered rifle, a feature that the SWGOH team was eager to incorporate. This weapon adds a distinctive flair to her character, setting her apart from other Jedi. The developers focused on this unique aspect, even though it meant scaling back other potential references, such as her interactions with the Grand Inquisitor.

Transformative Abilities and Omicrons

One of the most intriguing aspects of Jocasta Nu’s kit is her transformation mechanic. She transitions from her librarian persona to a combat-ready form wielding the lightsaber rifle. This transformation is not just cosmetic; it significantly alters her abilities in battle.

To unlock this transformation, players must meet specific conditions:

  • Upgrading her abilities “By the Book” and “Shhh! Quiet!” to at least Tier 6
  • Ensuring all allies are part of the Jedi Vanguard faction

Once these prerequisites are met, her “It Does Not Exist” ability becomes available, initiating the transformation.

Regarding her Omicron abilities, Jocasta Nu possesses three, applied to her Basic, Special 1, and Unique abilities. However, the benefits of these Omicrons are fully realized only after she has transformed, adding a strategic layer to her deployment in battles.

Synergy within the Jedi Vanguard

Jocasta Nu’s abilities are designed to synergize with the newly introduced Jedi Vanguard faction. This sub-faction includes Jedi who are considered stalwart defenders of the Jedi Temple, such as Aayla Secura, Barriss Offee, and Plo Koon. By assembling a team of Jedi Vanguard allies, players can maximize Jocasta Nu’s potential, especially her transformation ability.

It’s worth noting that while she shares screen time with characters like Ahsoka Tano (affectionately known as “Snips”), the lack of shared faction tags means there isn’t a direct synergy between them in the game.

Strategic Considerations and Gameplay Tips

To make the most of Jocasta Nu’s capabilities, players should focus on the following strategies:

  • Team Composition: Ensure all allies are part of the Jedi Vanguard to unlock her full potential and enable her transformation.
  • Ability Management: Prioritize upgrading “By the Book” and “Shhh! Quiet!” to at least Tier 6 to meet transformation requirements.
  • Timing the Transformation: Activate “It Does Not Exist” strategically to shift the battle in your favor, as the transformation enhances her offensive capabilities.
  • Protection Dynamics: Be mindful of her protection-based mechanics. Abilities like “My Turn” deal bonus true damage based on her current protection, adding depth to her combat strategy.

A Nod to Star Wars Lore

The developers have infused Jocasta Nu’s character with rich lore elements. For instance, her ability to set an enemy’s max health to 65 is a subtle reference to Order 65, a contingency order in the Galactic Republic. Such thoughtful inclusions demonstrate the team’s commitment to honoring the expansive Star Wars universe.

Additionally, her kit includes nods to her iconic battle with Darth Vader in the comics, particularly her use of the lightsaber rifle—a one-of-a-kind weapon that has rarely been seen elsewhere in Star Wars lore.
