UNIT NAME: Shin Hati

ALIGNMENT: Dark Side

CATEGORIES: Attacker, Mercenary, Unaligned Force User

------

Key Attributes:

• A lightsaber combatant who ignores Taunt to attack her enemies.
• Introduces the new Soldier of Fortune effect for the Mercenary faction. This is a stacking blue status effect that does nothing on its own, but on reaching a threshold, abilities will have various effects added.

Inspiration:

• We loved everything about Shin Hati when she showed up in Ahsoka. A practiced lightsaber user who has a bevy of tricks, using the Force and otherwise. What’s not to love?
• We’ve been eyeballing a Mercenary tag for a while now. With Baylan and company coming on the scene we took it as an opportunity to add the tag, and the Soldier of Fortune mechanic as a whole.
• We loved the moment where she escapes her battle with Sabine Wren with a well timed smoke bomb, so that ended up as her ability Clean Escape.

Strategy Tips:

• Maintain her Critical Chance and avoid Shin Hati getting critically hit so as to gain more stacks of Soldier of Fortune.
• Attack Stunned enemies with a higher number of stacks of Soldier of Fortune on Shin Hati. 
• Her granted ability Clean Escape helps all Mercenary allies gain additional effects and inflicts debuffs on enemies based on her Soldier of Fortune stacks. 

FAQ:

• How do I acquire Shin Hati?
• Shin Hati’s Marquee event begins September 19th in-game.
• How does the new Mercenary faction tag affect previous characters?
• See our forum post introducing Mercenaries for a step by step guide on how the mechanics work with both new and older characters.
• Will Shin Hati be required to get Baylan Skoll?
• Yes, at Relic 7
• Will Shin Hati be required to unlock GL Ahsoka?
• No. 
• In Shin Hati’s Omicron it says “Target Light Side enemy's cooldowns are increased to their max value,” what does that mean?
• Light Side enemies will have their cooldown set to the maximum limit as prescribed in their kit (eg, BB-8’s Illuminated Destiny would be set to 70).

From the Shin Hati Designer: 

CG_Vib’X:

Shin Hati, and her master Baylan Skoll, are self-sufficient mercenaries we first see  in the Ahsoka show. Their seamless coordination and prowess in every mission is reflected in Shin Hati's design kit. Alongside them is Marrok, whose support amplifies Shin Hati's effectiveness.

Shin Hati’s character is defined by her grace in combat and her lightsaber skills combined with the use of the Force. These attributes are central to her design as an Agility attacker in our game.

Her kit reflects the careful consideration of her quick wittedness, capturing her ability to escape from perilous situations with ease.

We hope that you find your adventures with her to be as exhilarating as the journey we see her take on-screen
