UNIT NAME: Padawan Sabine Wren
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Attacker, Mandalorian, Spectre, Unaligned Force User
------

Key Attributes:

  • New stackable Debuff, Off Balance - More Stacks, more damage and TM reduction 
  • Direct callouts to the new Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano
  • Stacking Force Connection increases Crit Damage

Inspiration:

  • We’ve been a big fan of Sabine ever since Rebels, so we were excited to bring this updated version from the Ahsoka series on Disney+ to the game.
  • Her ability, Fallback Tactic, is directly inspired by the moment in her battle versus Shin Hati where she goes to use a Force push and nothing happens so she resorts to her wrist rocket instead.
  • Parts of Kanan’s kit snuck into the Basic and Unique (extra crit for each ally below 100% HP & Counter Chance) as a callout to one of our favorite Rebels episodes where he trains her to use the Darksaber.

 

Strategy Tips:

  • Calling Sabine to assist allows her to stack Armor Penetration
  • Frantic Strike does 2 instances of damage to her target, allowing her to focus on one enemy while dealing damage to all of them
  • The best way to get stacks of Force Connection is by having Spectre allies use Special abilities

FAQ:

  • How do you acquire Padawan Sabine Wren?
    • Marquee starting 11am Pacific on 11/7
  • Is she required for GL Ahsoka?
    • Yes, at Relic 7
  • Does she have a bespoke Datacron?
    • No but keep your eyes peeled for affixes for both her and Ahsoka in the next Datacron set
  • Why does she not have the Jedi tag if she is a Padawan?
    • Even though she is referred to as Ahsoka’s Padawan, she still has a ways to go in her training to be called a Jedi. Also, game balance. :D

    Why not give them the rebel tag aswell, wouldnt that mean they only really synergizes with Ezra (Exile), and Possibly GL Ahsoka if they give the tag, along with mandolorians, but, that means she’d only go well with Armourer I believe

    I think their point was, before the Ahsoka show, Sabine was as Force Blind as Wedge.
    Even Ezra showed some hint he was Force Sensitive, before his training. 
    So the issue is more of a show writing one.
    I have also noticed some people saying Sabine needs the Rebel Tag. At this point in the timeline , the Rebellion is gone. At most she would have a New Republic Tag, however, outside of a handful of media, we have seen little to no New Republic characters. The ones we have full in the Resistance Tag.
    Now if we got more Legends/Extended Universe characters, I could easily give you a team of 5 , with  senator Leia as a possible Leader Tag .  

  • Tldr. Are you going to address how youve ruined fleets? This has huge consequences for every pvp mode, I know most of the player base are high on cooking already but no amount of anything can make this feel alright

    Padawan is the title of a Jedi apprentice. Either she’s a Jedi or she’s not a padawan.
