Character Strategy- Geonosian Spy

Geonosian Spy



Stealthy Geonosian attacker that can dispel status effects to deal massive damage.

Unlocks at 2 Stars (25 Shards)

Available from Aurodium Data Packs

Abilities

BASIC Attack – Fein:

  • Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 20% chance to gain Critical Chance Up for 2 turns. This chance is doubled if this attack does not score a Critical Hit.


SPECIAL Attacks- Silent Strike

  • Deal Physical damage to target enemy. If they have a positive status effect, Dispel all status effects on Geonosian Spy and the target and deal 20% more damage for each effect Dispelled. Otherwise, inflict Evasion Down for 2 turns. This attack can't be Evaded




  • Unique Ability Illicit Insect - Geonosian Spy gains Stealth for 2 turns at the start of each encounter and whenever he scores a Critical Hit. Whenever a Geosonian ally inflicts a negative status effect, Geonosian Spy gains 40% Turn Meter.


General Strategy

  • The Geonosian Spy is our newest Geonosian, bringing the total number of Geonosians to 4.
  • This unit will synergize very strongly with other Geonosians. The trick to maximizing the damage output of Geonosian Spy will center on managing both buffs and debuffs on him and his targets.
  • This will require setup and introduces some very interesting synergies with other units and strong counters against certain enemy teams which operate with a high number of buffs available.
  • In order to gain the damage increase you must use the special while stealthed
.

Hero Synergies

  • Geonosian synergies will be strong. Both Poggle and Sun Fac can apply a detrimental effect on an enemy. Each time this happens, Geonosian Spy will gain 70% Turn Meter (Upgrade 7 – Unique)
  • Allies that apply buffs to their allies such as Yoda who can apply multiple buffs will extend the power of Geonosian Spy’s special attack.
  • Allies that apply multiple detrimental effects to enemies will also empower the Spy’s special ability. DoT teams will do well as they can easily have multiple DoT effects up on multiple targets.

    Agree, very disappointed. Never buying an Aurodium again.

    @CG_Kozispoon
    Not sure what the business logic is behind this decision. Wedge was at least fixed in a good way plus being exclusive a few more months IIRC

    I was floored when I saw this
  • Anyone found him useful in AAT raid? Thinking phase 1 where there is lot of debuffs

    Tried him on P1 and P2. Only at a 159 speed though. He gets a few of his famous shots in, but then it's over pretty quickly. Plus on P1, if B2 isn't dead or stunned, he keeps removing GSpy's stealth and it becomes irritating to have to regain and try again. I don't think he's the "Teebo" AAT Raid hero.
  • So, I was thinking he might be good with a team like this:

    Boba, 88, TFP, Spy, Tank of Choice

    I got him because I scored his ship in fleet data cards. He'll be 7* in a couple of days, but it seems like he would do well in a strong debuff team even without other Geos.

    Looks like a fun team. You need Fac as your tank though. Spy is too slow. Fac gives him turn after turn.


    Working on Fac for the same reason as Spy. My dark side ships are like the twelve days of Chrismas:

    3 Geo Ships
    2 Tie Fighters
    and Slave 1 for Boba Fett

    Thank you! Tip your waiters and waitresses. I'm here all week....
