Baylan Skoll Community Questions, Dev Answers

2 months agoCapital Games Team
- Will his event return monthly like Bo Katan's event?
- Currently the planned cadence is approximately 3 months
- Will Baylan unlock a planet or unit in TB like other new legendaries do
- Not currently
- Who else goes with Baylan? Marrok and Shin are the 2 and will work for 3 v 3s, but who are the other 2 for 5 v 5s?
- There are many Mercenaries to try out and we are excited to see what players find. Internally we had some fun with Hondo and Qi’ra.
- For the Leadership ability, it says "Then, Mercenary allies double their current stacks of Soldier of Fortune." - can you confirm that this happens AFTER the initial stacks given to Baylan at the start of battle due to his Unique 1?
- Correct, the doubling happens roughly after all the initial stacks are given.
- Baylan is going to be leading Mercenaries, which includes several Bounty Hunters (notably Boba Fett, Scion of Jango). Will Merc Bounty Hunter payouts be updated so that they activate under Baylan lead (or perhaps with a clause like “if a non-Scoundrel Mercenary Leader is in the leader slot, this character gains the following payout”)?
- No plans to do this at this time
- What is the best way to mod Baylan Skoll and his team?
- Defense and Health are gonna keep Baylan in the longest, if you want more survivability and the best results
- In this clause: "If there is a non-Galactic Legend Ahsoka enemy", it is unclear to me if it is just referring to that clause excluding solely GL Ahsoka or is it saying that clause only applies when there's GLs other than Ahsoka?
- Any Ahsoka Tano that is not a Galactic Legend (so currently Ahsoka Tano (Snips), Commander Ahsoka Tano, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum)). The name of the Galactic Legend unit for her is “Ahsoka Tano”, but I can see where the confusion might come from.
- "Mercenary allies can't be instantly defeated" so Baylan can? If so can we then insta kill the rest?
- You are always an ally to yourself if you qualify, so Baylan is a Mercenary ally. If we want to exclude someone from their own ability we will use the language of “other ally”.
- Which part of the Lead Omicron turns off if there is a GL enemy? Is it just the doubt on taunt or is it the entire rest of the ability?
- Just the Doubt part of Bae’s Leader
- Whenever Baylan taunts he gives out 1 SoF stack and loses 3. Does that only activate if he didn't previously have Taunt, or every time he counterattacks, too?
- It happens every time Bae Taunts, but, keep in mind, there are a lot of reactive ways for Bae and other Mercenary allies to gain SoF.
- For special 2, Galactic Legends resist stuns by default, does that mean that they're guaranteed to lose 100% turn meter? (JMK the exception of course)
- If the Stun was resisted, yeah ;)
- In his leadership, in the fear Clause, it is stated "All allies gain 50% bonus Max Protection". Does that increase the Protection Pool, grant bonus Protection(like Traya's bonus Protection) or both?
- It grants just the bonus protection, so it does not add to the actual protection pool.
- "Defeated enemies can't be revived and Mercenary allies can't be instantly defeated" Does this mean Balen CAN be instantly defeated by Commander Ahsoka Tano?
- Bae is a Mercenary ally, so, he cannot be instantly defeated by Commander Ahsoka Tano.
- Will Baylan be a 7* unlock like Bo? Or will we need to spend guild currency like Malak and General Skywalker?
- 7* unlock
- Why does he lose 3 stack of SoF whenever he taunts if he has more than 3 stacks? Doesn’t it make us not want to taunt with him?
- If you don’t Taunt with him, you are losing a lot more power from not gaining Soldier of Fortune.
- Baylan's SoF ability states "At the start of their turns all Mercenary allies gain 5% Health Steal (Stacking) and 2% Defense (Stacking) for each stack of Soldier of Fortune they have until the start of next turn." Does this mean to state that they recieve these benefits until the start of their own next turn, or until someone else begins a turn?
- Correct, it will be the start of their next turn.
- Do you see Baylan as more a defensive or offensive team?
- Both 😀
- What was the hardest part about designing Baylan and his kit?
- Honestly, the hardest part about making Bae was just finding a good way to make him feel as powerful as he did in Ahsoka TV show. We wanted a character that was strong, confident, and tanky to best represent as accurate as possible in the show.
- What kind of box would he make?
- Honey Nut Cheerios Box
- Couldn't that lead be bigger? 2 full essays are not enough.
- Thought about it.
- Is there a max stacks of Soldier of Fortune?
- Currently, there are is no cap on Soldier of Fortune, but, that is because Shin, Marrok, and Baylan all have ways to reduce stacks under certain conditions.
- Will Special2 be able to dispell Tenacity Up before attempting to apply Stun?
- In most cases, dispels happen first before dealing damage and debuffs
- Will Baylan’s Datacron give the user “ Power. Such as You've Never Dreamed”?
- :smirk:
- What MtG colors would Baylan be? I’m thinking Mardu.
- Something about him screams Boros to me (White/Red)
- Who is your favorite star wars clone?
- 99
- Why are you so good at producing characters im excited for?
- <3
- We’re excited for them too! We love it when a new Star Wars property has cool characters with exciting action scenes that translate well into our game. Baylan delivered on this in spades.
- What is Meathead's favorite pizza topping?
- Really all depends if this is a place I’m going to for the first time or if it’s my usual spot. If it’s a place I’m going to for the first time, I typically stick with a cheese or Pepperoni to feel out how they do a standard pie. From this I can judge their dough, sauce and cheese without any other items altering their taste. The pepperoni pizza allows for me to test the quality of their mass used meats and if they go cheap because they use so much, or if they go quality because it adds flavor. If it’s a place I frequent and the above baseline has been already determined, its honestly a feeling of “What do I want” and maybe ask if there are any specials or if the folks making the pies want to get crazy with it.

- How you doing Meathead?
- Im doing well, hope you’re doing great! And to the person who’s question this was, you saw which part I didn’t add ;)
- On a scale of 1-10 how much fun is Meathead to work with?
- 1000000
- I swear I didn't answer this question myself - Meathead
- I hope you guys have a blessed day!!
- You too, thank you!
- The Inspired call-out on the lead - does three stacks of inspired (from Rey lead) give triple these effects? Or just base?
- Any time an enemy unit gains a stack of inspire, they gain those effects, and are stacking!
- I see you only get 110 Shards of Baylan, how do we get the full 330 shards?
- You will complete the battle 3 times
