SWGoH: Zuckuss Kit Reveal – The Force-Sensitive Bounty Hunter Joins the Fight

The Bounty Hunters just got a major upgrade. The Force-sensitive tracker Zuckuss is joining Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes as a new Dark Side Tank, Leader, and Unaligned Force User, bringing fresh synergy, survivability, and foresight mechanics that shake up the Bounty Hunter meta. His arrival in the game’s latest Marquee Event starts on November 4th at 11 a.m. Pacific, and fans of classic Star Wars lore are already buzzing.

A Findsman Enters the Fight

Zuckuss isn’t your average mercenary. In Star Wars lore, he’s a Gand Findsman, part of an ancient order of Force-sensitive bounty hunters who use ritual and foresight to track their prey across the stars. That mystical tracking ability directly inspires his new in-game mechanics — specifically his use of the Foresight buff, which he wields both defensively and offensively.

This version of Zuckuss works best as a Leader, offering massive survivability and protection recovery to his allies, while leveraging Foresight to control the flow of battle. When combined with his longtime partner 4-LOM, the two form one of the deadliest tag teams the Bounty Hunter faction has ever seen.

Zuckuss’ Kit Overview

Zuckuss is designed to reward tactical timing and awareness. His abilities emphasize predicting enemy actions, punishing AoE attacks, and creating synergy among Dark Side Bounty Hunters. Here’s a breakdown of what makes him stand out:

Zuckuss uses his Foreseen Strike ability in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes

Basic – Foreseen Strike

Deals Physical damage to a single target.
Recovers 10% Protection each time.
If Zuckuss has Foresight, he attacks again — rewarding careful buff management.

Zuckuss uses Ensnaring Shot to stun enemies in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes
