The pirate crew in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just got a serious boost. Vane, the sharp-tongued scoundrel from The Mandalorian and Skeleton Crew, is now entering the holotables as the latest Dark Side Tank in the Era of Piracy. And make no mistake—this guy isn’t here to collect bounties. He’s here to take your hits, steal your Taunts, and make sure his pirate buddies stay alive long enough to cash out.
Let’s break down what makes Vane such a game-changer.
A Pirate Tank That Won’t Go Down Without a Fight
Vane joins the game as a Dark Side, Tank, Pirate, Scoundrel unit, and he’s all about resilience and utility. He’s a protector, a damage sponge, and a reliable disruptor who scales over time. Under the right leadership—especially with Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka—he becomes an immovable object with some serious teeth.
Whether you’re diving into the Order 66 Raid or prepping your crew for Territory Battles, Vane is designed to take the heat off your squishier allies and keep the fight going.
Key Ability Highlights
Here’s what makes Vane’s kit particularly spicy:
- We Just Want the Credits (Basic): Vane deals damage, applies Offense Down, and scales his Defense based on Profit stacks. With enough Profit, he can Daze targets—perfect for control-heavy teams.
- Put it Down, Little One (Special 1): Vane adapts based on his Health. More Health? He stuns. Less Health? He heals and gains Evasion. At high Profit levels, he can steal Taunt and gain Bulwark, making him the frontline wall your pirates deserve.
- It Must Be Fake (Special 2): Vane absorbs debuffs from allies and transforms them into buffs. He even gains Max Health based on how much pain he’s willing to take—double the value with Hondo in the lead slot.
- Myth of the Outer Rim (Unique): The centerpiece of Vane’s kit. It’s got Zeta and Omicron upgrades, making him even more durable in Territory Battles. This unique allows Vane to equalize Health and Protection, gain Bulwark from Pirate crits, recover from near-death, and turn debuffs into stacking Protection Up.
If you’re into gambling, esports theorycrafting, or just love watching a team of pirates ruin some holotable metas, Vane’s the unit to watch.
