Character Strategy- Jawa Scavenger

Jawa Scavenger



Versatile Jawa Support who can detonate Thermal Detonators to inflict a large variety of status effects.

Unlocks at 2 Stars (25 Shards)

Available from: Cantina Battle Shipments

Abilities

BASIC Attack:

  • Dismantle:
    Base: Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 35% chance to inflict Offense Down for 1 turn. This chance is doubled against Droids.


SPECIAL Attack:


  • Scrap Bomb
    Base: Deal Physical damage to all enemies and immediately detonate all Thermal Detonators with a 25% chance each to inflict Defense Down, Healing Immunity and Tenacity Down for 2 turns on detonated targets.




UNIQUE Abilities:

  • Line in the Sand
    Base: Whenever a Jawa ally takes damage, 30% chance to place a Thermal Detonator on the attacking enemy that will explode after 2 turns. Whenever Jawa Scavenger scores a Critical Hit, he gains Stealth for 1 turn.
  • Salvaged Equipment
    Base: At the end of each of his turns, if Jawa Scavenger is Stealthed, he has a 50% chance to give a random ally Defense Up for 1 turn, and a 50% chance to give a random ally Offense Up for 1 turn.


General Strategy

Maximizing Jawa Scavenger’s combat potential will be centered on managing the thermal detonators on the enemy targets. The base cooldown of his detonation ability is 4 turns (upgrades will reduce this by 1 turn) so taking advantage of opportune moments when high priority targets are inflicted with bombs will be a priority. His self-survival is enhanced by his ability to gain stealth and he extends some of these survival benefits through Defense Up to other allies.

Hero Synergies

  • Jawa Scavenger will have strong synergies with other Jawa units due to his First Unique Ability: Line in the Sand. This will allow him to fire off thermal detonators when Jawa units are damaged. This enhances the overall combat effectiveness of a Jawa team.
  • Due to his ability to detonate thermal detonators on multiple targets, he will have a strong synergy with other units capable of applying thermal detonators to their targets. (Jawa Engineer, Mob Enforcer, Greedo, etc.)
  • Finally, his general synergy is enhanced by his ability to provide allies of any faction both offensive and defensive buffs. This will help strengthen any non-Jawa members of your party.


Where to Use

The Jawa Scavenger is a great addition to any Jawa party, and will shine in our newest Raid: AAT where he can take on the Droid Army there.

    I'm trying to mod JS, but does he need Potency? When he sets off the TD does JS apply the debuffs or are they separate from JS's stats? Should I bother with Potency at all?


    Yes, you want potency on JS. Any character that has the ability to land negative effects (tenacity down, offense down, dot, etc.) can be resisted and therefore needs potency.

    Yes, thermal detonator on his passive is dependant on his potency level
  • The omega on his scrap bomb ability is +15% damage. Does anyone know if this applies to every bomb that he detonates when he uses this ability, or just his damage? As bombs are the biggest source of damage on the aat raid for a jawa team this could be quite huge.

    Just the damage the AoE deals. No impact on thermal damage.
    You can check abilities properties on swgoh.gg by the way.
