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:

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.

Special 1 – Ensnaring Shot
- Deals Physical damage, Stuns, and inflicts Accuracy Down for 2 turns (can’t be evaded).
- If the enemy is already stunned, Zuckuss gains Protection Up (40%) and drains 15% Turn Meter.

Special 2 – Augury of Protection
- Zuckuss dispels all debuffs, Taunts for 2 turns, and grants all Bounty Hunter allies Foresight.
- He gains 2 stacks of Force Connection and recovers 30% Protection.
- A perfect counterplay ability against AoE-heavy teams.
Leader – Rite of Pursuit
- Bounty Hunter allies gain +80% Max Protection.
- When debuffed enemies end their turn, allies recover 10% Protection (doubled for Zuckuss).
- When enemies with Foresight evade, Zuckuss gains 10% Turn Meter while his allies gain 5%.
- Dark Side Bounty Hunters with Foresight assist each other on Special abilities — creating deadly synergy loops.
- Contract: Deal damage 20 times to enemies while buffed with Foresight.
- Reward: All Bounty Hunters activate their payouts, gain +25 Speed, +30% Offense, and Stealth for 3 turns.
Unique – Findsman’s Intuition
- Zuckuss Taunts at the start of each encounter if all allies are Bounty Hunters.
- Gains +50% Defense and recovers 15% Protection each turn while connected to the Force.
- When paired with 4-LOM, he gains +30% Potency and Tenacity, enhancing his control and survivability.
- In Territory Wars, he gains 100% Max Protection until first defeat and Bounty Hunter’s Resolve, ensuring early dominance.
- He’s also resistant to Daze — converting it into Speed Up for 2 turns instead.
Contract – Zuckuss’ Payout
- Once rewards are triggered, Zuckuss Taunts for 2 turns, grants allies Foresight, and +15% Turn Meter.
- Gains +200% Critical Avoidance for the rest of the battle, making him a wall of precision and endurance.
Strategy Tips
Zuckuss isn’t about brute force — he’s about prediction and patience. To get the most out of his kit:
- Use Augury of Protection after opponents use their AoE abilities to maximize survivability.
- Build for Speed and Tenacity to control turn order and resist key debuffs.
- Keep Foresight active to accelerate Contract completion and ensure mass assists.
- Pair him with 4-LOM for unmatched synergy and consistent turn meter gain.
- Deploy him as Leader in Dark Side Bounty Hunter squads to create a loop of protection and retaliation.
