C3P0 Character Design Idea! ... With lots of R2D2 synergy (The Ultimate Support Toon!)

True to C3P0's character I've designed him to be a passive toon, and he is unique in that he has no offensive capabilities, besides that which his allies afford to him. That way he is a 100% non-combative support toon. However, with his unique abilities he compensates for his combative deficiencies and protects and serves his allies in the heat of battle, balancing the odds in their favour!

Unit Description:

Passive Droid support with a variety of unique abilities and bonuses to defy the odds and protect his allies

Affiliations

Light Side, Droid, Galactic Republic, Rebel, Resistance, Support

(BASIC) We’re Doomed!:

Call a random ally to assist and inflict offense down for 2 turns. This attack deals 5% extra damage for each buffed ally.

(Special) Determine the Odds:

All allies gain the ‘Sure Strike’ buff for 2 turns (this buff cannot be dispelled) and gain an extra 20% max health. In addition to this, all enemies are inflicted with critical chance down and defence down and all allies gain critical chance up and defence up

Sure Strike = Adds an additional 50% accuracy to all ally attacks

(UNIQUE) Not the Droids your looking for:

C3P0 begins the encounter with foresight and has a 85% chance to gain foresight whenever a droid ally is critically hit. When C3P0 has foresight; Rebel, Jedi, Resistance and droid allies gain 25% offence and 5% critical chance. If R2D2 is present, he also gains this ability.

(UNIQUE) Translate and Interpret:

Whenever C3P0 is critically hit, a random ally is cleansed of all debuffs and these debuffs are inflicted upon a random enemy for one turn. There is also a 50% chance to remove 30% TM from enemies debuffed by this ability. If R2D2 is present, he also gains this ability.

(UNIQUE) Daring Droids

R2D2 and C3P0 gain 3 speed for every buffed ally. If R2D2 is present he also gains an extra 20% critical damage

  • Hopefully, this is powerful, yet balanced. With his multiple affiliations, like his buddy R2, he is able to be used in a variety of team comps including Rebels, Resistance, Jedi, Droids etc... and hopefully balance the meta by making a broader range of factions viable in the arena

    Also, with the passive offensive bonuses he gives, including damage and an improved critical rating, alongside his buddy R2, they could possibly help to make toons which previously weren't so viable, more viable in arena due to the additional health and DPS bonuses :)
  • Absolutely overpowered, but I like the concept. Greatly reduce the amount of buffing and debuffing he does. You said he was to have no attacks, and that you would have to compensate. By giving him an assist attack, you immediately resolve his only weakness, and make it overpowering as R2 assists. I would love to see a C-3PO with powerful R2-D2 synergy, and one who is virtually a pure support droid. However, this is just too strong lol
  • Okay, I've removed the R2D2 assist on basic so it is toned down. But other than that the buffs and debuts are there to boost team offence and shut down enemy offence. Which is to compensate for the fact that C3P0 is 100% support. His physical damage will be 0, so he will need a way to "balance the odds", in favour of his allies, as his description suggests.

    But I have changed his basic, as I agree, R2 assist was too much

    Since R2 can't attack with his basic because he is passive, seems like calling an assist is just a cop out answer because he needs something effective, 3P0 doesn't really have the standing to be calling an assist other than maybe R2.
