Fan rework: Cad Bane
Note: Made a year ago (before Cad's actual touch-up and before Darth Jar Jar takes Darth Sidious). The mentioned Conquest toon is not Embo & Keibu.
Cad Bane was one of the most infamous Bounty Hunters that operated during the Clone Wars. Working for very powerful benefactors (most notably Darth Sidious and the Hutts), he was mentored by Jango Fett and proved his talent time and time again. He once took a job for Darth Maul and later was hired by Darth Sidious to break into the Jedi Temple’s Holocron vault. He was later hired by the Hutt Council to free Ziro the Hutt (and later rehired to track him down and kill him), aided Count Dooku in his plot to kidnap the Chancellor on Naboo, and was eventually hired by Lama Su to retrieve the clone Omega. He also mentored the young Boba Fett as repayment for Jango Fett doing the same to him, though bad blood between them culminated with them parting ways for decades. Throughout his long career he killed many people, including Jedi and Clone Troopers, and held his own against the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos, and even an enraged Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (albeit with the help of Obi-Wan disguised as Rako Hardeen).
This touch-up leans more into his Clone Wars escapades, giving him the ability to capture an enemy for 1 turn via his Stun Glove, gaining permanent benefits for each turn taken while an enemy is Captive - Stun Glove instead Provokes enemies with Bounty Hunter’s Resolve, referencing the bad blood between him and Boba Fett. Once he gets his payout (which immediately triggers if Jango is the Leader), he can no longer Capture enemies but his Stun Glove instead detonates all Thermal Detonators on the target enemy, inflicts Burning and Shock for 2 turns, and deals a portion of True damage to all other enemies. He has additional bonuses against Bad Batch, Clone Trooper, and Jedi enemies, helping him put them down quicker. He is also treated as a Separatist by his allies if they are Separatists and the ally in the Leader slot is not a Bounty Hunter. Cad Bane will pair well with Hondo Ohnaka and the updated Aurra Sing, and will do better on various Bounty Hunter, Hutt Cartel, and Separatist teams, but he will also be a nice choice with the next Conquest character. Stay tuned!
