Mother Talzin - Sleepy Suggestions

Heya! This is mostly just because I'm bored and haven't slept. I expect there will be lots of typos and dumb ideas as I feel dizzy as I write this from not sleeping. So... good luck! Also! I don't expect Mother Talzin to come anytime soon. When she does, I likely won't be excited because she'll cost $200-$250 or something crazy. If they do plan to add her, I suspect they already have a plan. Also know that I envision Mother Talzin as a potential savior for Nightsisters. So, excuse me if she is OP since that's what the Nightsisters' need! Critique it if you want, but it makes no difference since this won't play a role in anything. Apologies for the painful read and all the page breaks.

Mother Talzin is a female Dathomirian from Dathomir. A witch, she acts as a leader figure for the Nightsisters that reside on the planet. Though considered a Force Sensitive, Nightsisters more commonly refer to the Force as Magick. Talzin was so powerful in this, she caught the eye of the powerful Sith known as Darth Sidious! She went toe-to-toe with Darth Sidious and wasn't pushed back until Count Dooku (whom she had just possessed) rejoined the fight, Darth Sidious commenting that the entire droid army wouldn't be able to take her down. She was even able to hold some control of Count Dooku, torturing him from a far distance. Fought in a brief duel with Jedi Master Mace Windu, holding her own using her conjured witch blade. Mother of Maul and Savage. Enough lore though, that means nothing in this game. Keeping it in!

"Where one sees failure, others see opportunity."

Mother Talzin: Nightsister Attacker with harmful status effects and powerful AoE capabilities.


  • (Basic) Witch Blade - Strike a foe with a chance to inflict Healing Immunity.
  • (Special) Green Lightning - Light AoE that has a chance to inflict a DoT. (3 Turn CD)
  • (Special) Magick of Dathomir - Using the icor that flows around her planet, she unleashes a devastating array of magick to inflict heavy damage on all targets. (5 Turn CD)
  • (Leader) To Battle, Sisters! - Grants 30% Offense and a 50% chance to grant Potency Up that lasts one turn when Nightsisters attack.
  • (Unique) Channeler - Whenever Talzin inflicts a status effect, she has a 25% chance to grant herself a green bubble that blocks one attack.

I think she would make Nightsisters a great synergy with such a set up! Old Daka with Potency Up (if she gets it) would be quite a pain! Being able to inflict AoE dots would give more breathing room for the Nightsister healer, Talia. Offense Up to help boost those numbers! I feel like her leader ability plays quite well with Nightsister strategy (indirect) while also padding a weakness. Much like Asajj's Leader. I also didn't want another leader skill akin to Old Daka's... A choice between speed (Asajj) or power (Talzin) is a fun decision to add some depth. Obviously this is a very basic outline as there's no numbers or anything. I would guess her speed to be around 118-ish. Lots of health steal on her gear and low health (about 15k max). I thought maybe an internal CD would be justified on her Unique, but then I remembered Rey and thought better of it.

Isn't she adorable?

While we're at it... Grant Asajj like 2k more Health and Talia an extra 1k health. Fix Asajj's AI. Make Acolyte's Sacrificial Magicks work on crit or from stealth, rather than DB. Make Old Daka older.

Edit: As another disclaimer! I know, there's more prominent Star Wars characters that need to be added/fixed. And, lots of bugs that need ironing out. New content that should be added. GW needs to be retuned. New events. All that stuff someone usually posts when an idea is offered. I get it! This is just for fun.

    Thought as much ;)


    Sorry for ignoring your question about the bubble. What's left of my weary mind is all over the place! Foresight for would for her character just as well since she can glimpse into potential futures with a catalyst. I thought the bubble was pretty epic (as far as bubbles go) when the droids attacked and she created the posted image in the OP. The bubble functions similarly the Foresight, so either would work! Some people may not like a graphical image on their characters and would prefer the buff symbol. It was more of a way to make her more unique in a visual way. Since this is just for fun, it's whichever way you prefer!

    This isn't directed at Ego12Draconis, but general. For the bubble/Foresight, the reason I went for 25% instead of say 40% like Rey has is because she has more methods to apply the buff to herself. I think this sleepy iteration of her would be quite powerful (I normally try to avoid OPness, but this is a dream character for me), so having the ability to consistently negate damage would make her too strong when considering all the other utilities to keep in line with the current Nightsister playstyle. I was going for more of a "nice surprise" instead of a means of survival. Even though Nightsisters are the epitome of backwards speed stats (A quick Old Daka but a slow Asajj?), I would guess this Mother Talzin to be on the slower side to help balance her out, as well.

    Edit: Another idea I had was for Mother Talzin to deal increase damage while she had the bubble buff. But, I thought I was tipping the scale too far into OP territory and changed my mind. It would be a nice double mechanic, though! Save her big AoE for when she has the bubble buff (that will likely instantly get knocked off by an enemy AoE) to deal more damage? Or, use it early and maybe get two of them off, instead? I like choices.
  • Hate most of the move ideas but love the lore and thoughtfulness. She needs night sister synergy Meta. Give all nightsisters 65% chance to counter attack. Give nightsisters/brothers the Teebo stealth/TM buff. And group Regen of health or protection or both. She gave Maul his legs back for petes sake.
