If you thought your Jedi roster in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was looking a little too calm and composed, it’s time to stir things up. EA has officially dropped the kit reveal for Depa Billaba, a fierce Light Side Attacker with serious synergy, especially if you’re assembling the newly minted Jedi Vanguard team.
And yes, she’s bringing both Vaapad and vibes.
Jedi Vanguard’s Final Piece: Who Is Depa Billaba?
In lore terms, Depa Billaba is no rookie. Once a Padawan of Mace Windu and later the mentor to Caleb Dume (Kanan Jarrus), she’s had her share of epic highs and heartbreaking lows. She also went full “last stand” in The Bad Batch, so if you know, you know.
Now in Galaxy of Heroes, she slices her way into the Light Side ranks with a kit that’s all about counterattacks, Shatterpoint synergy, and Jedi drama. She’s not just another lightsaber-swinger. She’s the final requirement for unlocking Jedi Master Mace Windu, and yes, you’ll need her at Relic 5.
Depa Billaba Abilities Breakdown: More Than Just a Pretty Saber
Here’s the rundown of her abilities—brace yourself, it gets spicy:
🔹 Basic – Serene Blade
Depa doesn’t just swing for fun. During her turn, she inflicts Vulnerable. When it’s not her turn? Her damage stacks by 25% if the whole squad’s rocking the Jedi Vanguard label.
🔹 Special 1 – Vaapad Disciple
Inflicts Healing Immunity, grants Health Steal Up, and deals bonus damage if Mace Windu is leading. Best part? Mace gets to assist twice. That’s not a partnership; that’s a power couple.
🔹 Special 2 – Will of the Council (ZETA)
This one is the Jedi mic drop. It dispels enemy buffs, dishes out bonus damage to enemies with Shatterpoint, and hands out Foresight, Critical Damage Up, and Defense Penetration Up like candy at a Jedi birthday party.
And when that Foresight expires? It’s not just gone—it triggers bonuses like Turn Meter gain and Protection Up.
🔹 Unique 1 – Nothing and Everything (ZETA, OMICRON)
Here’s where it gets tactical. Depa gets:
- +70% counter chance
- +25% Offense
- Health and Protection recovery when debuffed
- Speed Up, Advantage, and Turn Meter boosts when synergized with Mace Windu and Jedi Vanguard allies
But wait—there’s more. In Territory Battles, Jedi Vanguard allies basically become gods. We’re talking +200% Max Health and Offense, auto-Damage Immunity, and revive denial.
Strategy Tips: How to Max Out Depa’s Potential
Want to break the holo-table meta? Try these tactics:
- Call her to assist often to scale her damage
- Pair her with Jedi Master Mace Windu for max synergy (he’s basically her in-game soulmate)
- Keep her alive—she’s a glass cannon. You’ll need tanks or protective mechanics to let her shine
- Watch out for Investigation stacks—they fuel her kit’s momentum like caffeine in a casino

It’s “Billaba” with Two Ls – Don’t Let the Name Trip You Up
Yes, people still ask this. It’s Depa Billaba, not Bilaba. Two Ls. Like the two lightsabers she metaphorically drops on the battlefield.
