------

 

Key Attributes:

• New debuff, Corrupted Translation - stacks up to 3 times and enables powerful lockdown effects
• Inflicts a variety of other debuffs as well with his abilities
• Synergizes with assist heavy Dark Side Bounty Hunters, especially Zuckuss

 

Inspiration:

• 4-LOM, the protocol droid turned bounty hunter, was known for his calculating nature and ability to interface with computer systems, which translates into his Corrupted Translation mechanic representing electronic warfare capabilities.
• Some would say, because of his cunning and calculating nature, 4-LOM represents a “Dark Mirror” version of C-3PO, which also worked as a key inspiration for Corrupted Translation.
• Him being a strategical partner of Zuckuss, we wanted 4-LOM to have some synergies with Zuckuss directly called out
• The electromagnetic weaponry in his Special ability "Relative Mercy" represents his upgraded combat systems from his transition from protocol droid to deadly bounty hunter

Strategy Tips:

• 4-LOM’s second Special ability, TRANSLATION: Destroy, inflicts unavoidable and unresistable Corrupted Translation debuff, which is the key for success of this team.
• 4-LOM’s Contract can be completed by damaging enemies with Corrupted Translation. 
• Use the mass assist from his Special 1, Relative Mercy, strategically to get the Reward quickly and dominate the battlefield.
• Even though his second Special has a high cooldown, it can be reduced with his unique ability, Override Programming.
