The guys over at iconic character from the Star Wars universe. Check i out 3sx6h
Q: What makes General Skywalker special? Does he have any unique mechanics?
CG_Prophet: Absolutely, Anakin Skywalker has been many things over the years; pod racer, droid builder, Jedi Padawan and even a legendary pilot, and now he’s finally come to the game.
CG_ParkingInstructor: General Skywalker is unlike any other raid boss character in Galaxy of Heroes. He takes 2 actions per turn (like a raid boss) with his linked abilities (more on that later) and depending on which Special you use first, Skywalker will apply a different effect on his second attack.
CG_Prototype: He has quite the arsenal of attacks but it really depends on which ability you use first. For example, if you use his Basic attack, it will trigger a Special ability (Telekinesis) for his second attack and that’s a completely different attack than either Special 1 or 2.
CG_ParkingInstructor: But even besides the 2 actions per turn, his Leader ability has a very unique mechanic with Advance and Cover. This is a big first for the game and really sets him apart from the other characters we have created.
Q: How does “use 2 abilities per turn” mechanic hit if possible.
Q: Can you explain how Advance and Cover works?
CG_ParkingInstructor: General Skywalker really comes alive when you put him in the leader slot, which enables his “General of the 501st” Leader ability. Skywalker will Advance while he has Protection. While Advancing, General Skywalker’s 501st allies cannot lose health, but once his Protection is depleted, he goes into Cover. While in Cover, his allies can lose Health and you can try to defeat them before he goes on the offensive again.
CG_Prototype: Skywalker recovers 10% Protection per turn (on anyone’s turn, not just his own) and once at full Protection, he will switch back to Advance and start the cycle again.
Q: So wait, how do you defeat him?!?!?
CG_ParkingInstructor: After you defeat all of General Skywalker’s allies, the fight moves into the final phase where he gains a ton of turn meter at the end of every enemy’s turn. This is the time he’s vulnerable to being defeated, but you’ll have to race to take him out before he takes a bunch more turns. I hope you saved some of your strongest abilities for the end of the fight!
Q: How does the new keyword “Remove” plan to use in future character kits.
Q: What’s his role in battle?
CG_ParkingInstructor: Besides being a Leader, he serves as a tank and negative effects that his allies can take advantage of. If you’ve seen the show, it made complete sense for General Skywalker to always be on the front line and fighting side by side with his squad.
Q: Which Grand Arena and Territory Wars.
Q: What squad do you recommend to Ahsoka Tano since she has the 501st tag and is needed for a full 501st squad at this time.
CG_Prototype: We are also releasing the 501st ARC Trooper in the future to help fill out this squad. Once you have unlocked him, your Pe’ team can have Ahsoka back.
Q: Why did we make another Anakin Galactic Republic army.
CG_ParkingInstructor: We also wanted to explore new mechanics with such an iconic character and Jedi Knight Anakin already has a solid identity in the game. It didn’t make sense to mess with the Anakin that is working well and leave an empty space in the Pe squad
CG_Prototype: This Anakin would have been worthy of the rank of master…
Q: Were there specific Lightsaber and Force techniques from a variety of battle scenes throughout the series.
Q: Where does the story in the lets you play through the events of the show. This is alluded to by Shar when he introduces the event for the first time.
CG_Prototype: The event art has Anakin dueling Asajj Ventress, which is pulled from this episode.
CG_Prophet: I wanted to showcase Anakin’s skills as a pilot and duelist, but this is also the episode where Echo and Fives become ARC troopers. This is a big moment for them in the show and also when they receive the Phase II armor that our in-game models have.
