Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: 4-LOM

gingetattoo Galaxy of Heroes

The galaxy’s most logical hunter is back in action. EA Capital Games has officially revealed the full kit for 4-LOM, the calculating droid bounty hunter best known from The Empire Strikes Back. Once a protocol droid, 4-LOM has turned his talents toward more profitable (and deadly) pursuits — and his new Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit reflects that perfectly.

With a toolkit built around debuffs, synergies, and a brand-new mechanic called Corrupted Translation, 4-LOM brings fresh strategy and control options to Dark Side Bounty Hunter teams.

4-LOM Overview

  • Alignment: Dark Side
  • Categories: Support, Leader, Bounty Hunter, Droid, Scoundrel
  • Availability: Marquee Event starting October 21 at 11 a.m. PT

This cold and calculating killer is more than just another Bounty Hunter. His skills combine the analytical precision of a droid with the tactical aggression of a true mercenary.

Key Attributes

  • Introduces a new debuff, Corrupted Translation, which stacks up to 3 times and weakens enemies over time.
  • Gains extra synergy when paired with Zuckuss, his long-time partner.
  • Specializes in assist-heavy Dark Side Bounty Hunter compositions.
  • Can apply a devastating combination of Shock, Defense Down, and Ability Block, turning the tide of battle.

Inspiration

The developers describe 4-LOM as the “dark mirror” of C-3PO, blending protocol-level logic with deadly intent. His Corrupted Translation mechanic reflects his ability to “hack” and disrupt opponents’ systems — a digital corruption of C-3PO’s Translation buff.

And with Zuckuss alongside him, 4-LOM becomes even more dangerous. This duo thrives on control, synergy, and precision — just like their bounty contracts demand.

Strategy Tips

To make the most of 4-LOM’s kit, players should:

  • Use Special 2 (TRANSLATION: Destroy) early — it applies Corrupted Translation that fuels his entire setup.
  • Target enemies with 3 stacks of Corrupted Translation to trigger Ability Blocks and True Damage.
  • Utilize Relative Mercy (Special 1) for mass assists and quick Contract completion.
  • Build for Speed and Tenacity, as suggested by the devs, to maximize control and survivability.

His Leader ability, Cold Calculations, rewards debuff-heavy play. Every time a Bounty Hunter inflicts a debuff, they heal — ensuring your team stays in the fight while locking down the enemy.

Corrupted Translation – The New Debuff

This new debuff defines 4-LOM’s playstyle:

  • 1 Stack: Target takes True Damage whenever they land a critical hit.
  • 2 Stacks: Enemy Turn Meter feeds the opposition — dangerous for aggressive teams.
  • 3 Stacks: Reduces Max Health by 30% (or Tenacity for raid bosses and Galactic Legends).

When fully stacked, Corrupted Translation turns enemies into liabilities, punishing them for attacking or surviving too long.

Final Thoughts

4-LOM’s addition brings something rare to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes: a methodical, control-oriented Bounty Hunter. He’s not about brute force — he’s about precision and punishment.

If your team relies on debuffs, assists, and synergy, 4-LOM is a must-have. His Corrupted Translation mechanic doesn’t just add flavor — it rewires the entire battlefield.
