Character Strategy: Princess Leia

Princess Leia

BASIC: Hair Trigger

  • Upgrade 7 now grants "+10% Damage" instead of "+5% Damage"
  • Omega upgrade now grants "+15% Multi-Attack Chance" in addition to previous bonus of "Add 50% chance to gain 10% Turn Meter"


SPECIAL: Rebel Tactics

  • Ability reworked
  • Fully upgraded, now reads: "Leia gains Stealth and Critical Damage Up for 3 turns and gains 50% Turn Meter. If Leia already had Stealth, she also gains Offense Up and Foresight for 3 turns and gains double Turn Meter."


UNIQUE: Against All Odds

  • Upgrade path reworked, and gained a new ZETA upgrade: "+45% Chance to Heal and whenever Leia attacks she recovers 5% Protection"
  • Fully upgraded, now reads: "Whenever Leia attacks, she has a 55% chance to grant all allies Critical Chance Up for 2 turns, and recovers 5% Health and 5% Protection."



GENERAL STRATEGY


  • We know the frustration of getting only one attack out of Leia, so we've increased Princess Leia’s chance to double and triple attack on basic.
  • Leia always gets Stealth, Critical Damage Up, and Turn Meter now from “Rebel Tactics”, and if she is already Stealthed, she gains doubled Turn Meter, Offense Up, and Foresight. This change pairs perfectly with R2. A tip of the hat to the New Hope movie moments that we all remember.
  • She fits perfectly alongside a Luke Lead combined with different combinations of the other New Hope Reworks.

    So R2 goes first and gives Leia stealth and advantage. Leia then uses her own stealth and gets crit up and offense up. She then attacks with her basic and does some good damage. Then ATF goes and absorbs buffs to get stealth, retribution, offense up, crit up, crit chance up (maybe), and foresight. She then hits like a beast. Now ATF is the only one without stealth, so you have to attack her. She has a 50% counter chance and gets protection up for her and an ally every time she counters.

    Pretty good. With room for 2 more toons.


    And then she gets fractured or oneshot by a Wiggs, confused, shocked or stunned while being wrecked.
    And you basically lost your biggest dps with Leia on the second turn... :pensive:
    This kind of team still needs a decent tank and survivability, Leia will die in a sec (stealth or not) and Ashoka... Well i killed dozen of this one (geared and 7*) and since she never keeps her buffs on her she's pretty squishy.
    This kind of team is just another Wiggs in disguise, more complicated but still a Wiggs.

    Rebels still lack of solid dispells so i'm pretty sure you'll end with a Chaze on this one. Or perhaps a StHan+Ezra for a damn quick burst team.


    I'm not necessarily saying they are unbeatable, but that they make a good combination. I was wrong in that I made a comment about there being 2 characters left, but referenced Ahsoka under a Commander Luke lead, which means only 1 character (I also screwed up in saying Leia would have advantage, but that's not important. Give it to Ahsoka for an additional buff!). You can still use Baze for an auto taunt who applies speed down that pairs well with Luke's basic. Or Old Ben might be a good option here.

    Ahsoka under a Luke lead will absolutely not be squishy. She will have 50% counter chance and gains protection up on counter. Since she dispels buffs, there is no way to prevent her counter other than fracture.


    Stun or confused since she won't loose her debuff until her next turn. One turn is more than enough to kill her.


    Ahsoka doesn't lose debuffs on her turn. She loses debuffs after Every turn. It doesn't matter if it's her team or the enemy. She can't be stunned. The only way to stop her is by using Fracture.

    So she's the Heart of the Rebellion, and after the rework she'll still have a weaker leader ability than Nebit.


    She really doesn't need a leader ability. Even if they rework it, it will still be useless, because there are far greater leader abilities out there, both Rebel and Non-Rebel.
  • "We know the frustration of getting only one attack out of Leia" ... AI never had this problem. What was annoying?: To watch Leia shoot 3-4 times every turn.
  • Thinking of stripping her mods and firing an offence set on her. If R2 goes first she's stealthed and when she counters with a double/triple shot she should be good for some damage.
  • Is it a bug, that Leias foresight doesn't work against the tank's or bomber's AoE in phase 4?
  • Let's see..... healing + wedge lead heal..... crit dmg + crit dmg from mods + offense up + wedge lead offense up.... about 350% dmg? And 3 attacks? I'll take it xD
