Character Kit Concept: BB-9E

BB-9E (Dark Side, First Order, Droid, Support, Leader): 

strong support that leads with oppressive use of surveillance. 

  • Basic: Electro Shock Prod
    Deal damage and inflict Surveillance for 2 turns. If the target is already under Surveillance then BB-9E gains Advantage for 1 turn.
  • Target Lock: Inflict Stun for 1 turn.

 

  • Special 1: Smoke Screen (Cooldown 3)
    All enemies gain Surveillance for 2 turns and lose 20% Turn Meter. Droid and First Order allies gain Advantage and Critical Damage Up for 2 turns. If a target already has Surveillance then inflict blind instead.
  • Target Lock: Debuffs cannot be resisted or dispelled.

 

  • Special 2: Shock Spin (Cooldown 4)
    Damage and dispel all buffs on enemies and Stun the primary target for 1 turn. Damage dealt per target increases by 40% per buff dispelled. Dispel Surveillance and replace with Target Lock. BB-9E gains 5% Attack until the end of battle for each Surveillance dispelled this way.

 

  • Special 3: Charge Up (Cooldown 30)
    Dispel all debuffs on allies and grant them 100% turn meter and Offence Up and Speed Up for 4 turns. If an ally is First Order, grant them Advantage. If an ally is Droid, grant them Shock-Prod Repairs. This ability starts on cooldown. Whenever surveillance gets applied, resisted, or removed, reduce the cooldown of this ability by 1.

 

  • Leader: Linked Systems
    Droid allies gain +30% Potency, Defense and Speed. Whenever an enemy under Surveillance takes damage, all Droid allies recover 5% Health and Protection. If all allies are Droids, enemies with Surveillance deal 25% less damage.

 

  • Unique 1: Oppressive Presence
    While BB-9E is active, enemies with Surveillance cannot gain bonus Turn Meter. While BB-9E is active, BB-9E, dark side allies, and Droid allies gain +15% Turn Meter whenever Surveillance expires. Whenever BB-9E inflicts Surveillance, he and all Droids gain +20% bonus protection.

 

  • Unique 2: Vigilant
    BB-9E starts the battle with Advantage and Stealth for 2 turns and +10% Turn Meter for each Droid ally. Whenever an enemy gains a buff, BB-9E has a 25% chance to inflict Surveillance.

--

New Buff: Shock-Prod Repairs

  • Grants +20% Defense and Attack, and heals 15% Health at the start of each turn.
  • Removes all debuffs when gained and when dispelled.

New Debuff: Surveillance

  • Reduces enemy Evasion, Potency, and Speed by 20%.
  • Can't attack out of turn.
  • Can't gain Stealth or Foresight.

  • Yes on BB-9E, but no on the Astromech Droid faction since as of now there aren't enough Droid characters playable to justify its inclusion. Once more droid characters are added then maybe we could talk about it.

    after thinking on it more, I agree. I originally thought that the synergies that I'm proposing would be too OP if it were with all droids, but on second thought I no longer do. All mentions of "astromech droid" in my kit can easily be replaced with "droid".
