Character Strategy- Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca

Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca
Lumbering attacker who accumulates Offensive capabilities as enemies take actions


Unlocks at: ??*
Available from: ??????

ABILITIES
Basic Attack – Explosive Bolts:



  • Deal Physical damage to target enemy and with an 80% chance to Daze them for 2 turns.

Special Ability – Furious Blow:



  • Deal Physical damage to target enemy. Dispel all buffs on them and Stun them for 1 turn. Inflict Speed Down on all enemies for 2 turns.

Unique Ability - Partner In Crime:

  • Chewbacca has 25% Critical Chance and +50% Health Steal. When Veteran Smuggler Han Solo takes damage, Chewbacca gains 20% Critical Damage (stacking) until he scores a Critical Hit. When Veteran Smuggler Han Solo is defeated, Chewbacca gains 100% Turn Meter, his cooldowns are reset, and he takes an additional turn after his next turn.

Unique Ability – Let the Wookiee Win:

  • At the start of each enemy turn, Chewbacca gains 12% Offense (stacking) until he uses 2 abilities.


GENERAL STRATEGY

  • Daze from Explosive Bolts can be useful for shutting down multiple Turn Meter and Counterattack focused strategies which proliferate throughout the Squad Arena Meta.


HERO SYNERGIES
Veteran Smuggler Han Solo greatly increases Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca’s damage through the stacking Critical Damage they both gain when the other is attacked. Also, finding a source of Offense Up in your team will go a long way toward skyrocketing both of the Veteran Smugglers’ damage.

WHERE TO USE

  • Because of the nature of how “Let the Wookiee Win” stacks Offense at the start of every enemy turn, Veteran Smuggler Chewbacca can get extremely powerful against heavily Speed-Modded enemies in the Squad Arena whenever he does attack.
  • Smuggler Chewbacca (along with Smuggler Han) are considered excellent in Territory Battles, where they are able to really shine. Their synergy works well together as Chewie powers up over the course of battle, and Han is able to control the skirmish through use of Ability Block and Stagger.

    Someone has a Han Solo fetish At EA I think. Or a general sense of bad marketing. That's 4 major light side overhauls in a row with no dark side love. Diversity is lost in this game, it's just pay for the new toon and win. If that's your strategy at least give us characters we actually want like Darth Revan


    please, we've been through this multiple times.
    dark side got Thrawn and DN already, what more do you want from CG/EA?


    New dark side content. Is that difficult for you to understand?


    DS got really interesting updates with troopers and Siths these past months. I don't see that much love with rebels, they're temporary meta only because they released a really powerful toon among them i.e. Luke. Luke (farmboy) rework is not as game breaking as you think (sarcasm/off). :p

    Who cares much about Fulcrum, Capt.Han, Leia Organa and i'm pretty sure this two new scoundrels won't be much useful either since they're pretty meh so far. Only Luke and Han Solo zeta are worth the investment so far and most players still are using Thrawn or Nihilus since you can't beat them at what they do.

    So what, it's still about not having a DS TB ? This thing has been implemented for what, a single week, and we surelly have a DS TB next along with plenty of additional DS content based upon SW next opus.

    This "my content is bigger than yours" war is really boring. Grow up at once !
  • Please add the resistance tag...
    If Finn and R2 are resistance, why aren't old han and chewie. It will get people hyped for the episode 8 toons. Come on debs, throw us a bone here. @CG_Kozispoon

    Yes, the OP will never understand this

    Light side has gotten 3 new ewoks, 4 reworked ewoks, 5 reworked rebels, a new Luke (albeit that one was way over due), new Han/Leia/Yoda, and now Han + Chewie. How can you even compare that to what they did with DN or thrawn? Remember they haven't even touched dark side in nearly 3 months. In fiscal terms that's an entire Quarter they pissed away potential profits by not diversifying to their different fan bases. THAT is the part that makes me shake my head
