SWGOH Kit Reveal: CC-1119 “Appo” Brings Order 66 to the Holotable

Every now and then, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes drops a character kit so packed with cinematic flair and brutal synergy, you can almost hear the Imperial March playing in the background. Enter CC-1119 “Appo”, a Dark Side Clone Trooper who’s not here to mess around—or let you revive your Jedi.

Straight out of Operation: Knightfall, Appo’s kit is a loving (or terrifying?) tribute to one of Revenge of the Sith’s most unforgettable sequences. With synergy built around Lord Vader, Order 66, and the now-legendary Knightfall armor, Appo is primed to take control of the holotable—and possibly your soul.

🧬 Appo’s Role and Core Mechanics

Alignment: Dark Side
Tags: Attacker, Clone Trooper, Empire
Leader Synergy: Lord Vader
Backup Leader Option: Grand Moff Tarkin (touch-up pending)

Let’s not sugarcoat it—Appo exists to make your life miserable if you’re not prepared. He summons reinforcements, strips buffs like he’s peeling stickers off a pod racer, and plays an essential role in executing Order 66… literally.

⚔️ Key Abilities and Strategy Highlights

Here’s a breakdown of why Appo isn’t just another clone in a sea of armor:

Basic – Imperial March

Deals damage and grants Defense Penetration Up
Calls assisting attackers with the same buff
It’s efficient, and it scales well in coordinated Dark Side Clone squads

Special 1 – Knightfall

Dispels all buffs on enemies
Stuns, calls assists, applies Stealth, and boosts critical damage
Basically the Swiss army knife of controlled chaos

Special 2 – No Witnesses (Zeta)

Triggers all stacks of Damage Over Time
If the target has 8+ DoTs and Lord Vader is leading, Order 66 is applied
Order 66 = Buff Immunity + No Revive — nightmare fuel for Jedi comps

Unique – Vader’s Fist (Zeta + Omicron)

Grants Speed scaling, Knightfall Trooper summons, and offense buffs
Dispels Foresight, applies Expose, and enables Coruscant Commander
With Lord Vader, it activates Dramatic Entrance and Operation Knightfall

The synergy under Lord Vader turns this kit into a slow-burning inferno. Ignore Appo for too long and you’ll be picking up the pieces of your squad with a galactic spatula.

🛡️ Coruscant Commander & Knightfall Mechanics

Coruscant Commander: Appo becomes immortal until Lord Vader dies
Operation Knightfall: Summons a Knightfall Trooper, up to 3 per battle
Dramatic Entrance: Grants offense, turn meter, and true damage bonus

Appo is essentially a frontline bulldozer who only gets stronger the longer the fight lasts—and yes, he can fully heal at the start of battle. If you’re facing him in GAC or Territory Wars, bring something Galactic or bring a medic.

🧠 Strategy Tips and Must-Know Details

Order 66 is a game-changer. Use it to shut down revive-reliant squads.
Knightfall Troopers assist and scale offense fast. Protect them or let them bait.
Appo lowers cooldowns, stacks offense, and punishes foresight-heavy teams.

Pro tip: If you’re running him with Grand Moff Tarkin (while waiting for Vader or in the new Raid), the synergy isn’t as explosive—but still deadly, especially with a future Tarkin update in the works.

📅 How to Unlock CC-1119 “Appo”

Marquee Event starts April 8 at 11AM PT
Unlock Requirement for Jedi Master Mace Windu: Relic 5
Datacron included at 7★ marquee tier

This isn’t a “maybe I’ll farm him eventually” situation—Appo and the Dark Side Clones are required to unlock Jedi Master Mace Windu and compete in the upcoming Knightfall Era Battles and new Raid content.

🤔 Why Doesn’t Appo Have the 501st Tag?

Because balance. Giving Appo the 501st tag would’ve forced reworks to keep him aligned with Lord Vader’s kit. The developers opted for the Dark Side Clone Trooper tag instead, with thematic synergy taking a backseat to combat functionality.

Yes, it hurts the lore purists. But your win rate will thank you.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Appo’s arrival marks a new phase for Galaxy of Heroes—one where cinematic storytelling meets brutal mechanical execution. He’s not just a plug-and-play attacker. He’s the beating heart of a Dark Side Clone Trooper team that fuels Lord Vader’s rampage and punishes unprepared opponents with precision.

With Order 66 baked into his kit, a summoned battalion of Knightfall Troopers, and a load of raid, GAC, and TW value—Appo is more than a marquee. He’s a mission.
