ABILITIES:

Basic: BAFFLING TRICK



FINAL TEXT: C-3PO inflicts Confuse for 3 turns (max 3 stacks, which cannot be evaded). If the target is already Confused, the duration for all current stacks resets to 3 turns. Reduce target enemy's Turn Meter by 6% and an additional 3% for each stack of Translation on C-3PO. (See Protocol Droid for Translation)

  • Cannot gain buffs
  • Cannot counter, assist, or gain bonus Turn Meter (Raid Bosses: -30% Counter Chance)

    Special 1: OH MY GOODNESS! (Cooldown 3)



    FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) C-3PO gains Potency Up and Stealth for 2 turns, then he and target other ally gain Translation for 3 turns. C-3PO inflicts Confuse twice on target enemy for 3 turns, then calls all other allies with Translation to assist, dealing 50% less damage.
    (See Protocol Droid for a description of Translation.)

    Unique 1: PROTOCOL DROID

    FINAL TEXT: C-3PO has +20 Speed. While C-3PO is active, Galactic Republic, Rebel, Resistance, and Ewok allies gain the unique buff Translation for 3 turns (max 3 stacks) each time they use a Special ability. Translation cannot be copied. If the character already has Translation, the duration for all current stacks on that character resets to 3 turns. When C-3PO is defeated, all stacks of Translation will expire.

    Translation - Beneficial effects build based on the cumulative number of stacks:

  • Gain 30% Max Health
  • Gain 15% Critical Chance
  • When C-3PO uses his Basic ability, decrease this character's cooldowns by 1

    FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) C-3PO and R2-D2 have +10% Evasion for each of their own stacks of Translation. At the start of encounter, C-3PO and R2-D2 gain Translation for 3 turns. When there are no other allied combatants, C-3PO escapes from battle.

    Unique 3: INTERMEDIARY

    FINAL TEXT: All allies have +10% Defense Penetration. Each time a Galactic Republic or Ewok ally gains a different, non-unique, non-Protection buff, they gain 15% Protection Up for 2 turns (does not stack with itself). For each stack of Translation, Galactic Republic have +10% Defense Penetration, doubled for Ewoks.

    Unique 4: CYBORG RELATIONS

    FINAL TEXT: All allies have +10% Potency. Whenever a Rebel or Ewok ally uses their Basic ability, they inflict Expose on the target enemy for 2 turns which cannot be evaded. For each stack of Translation, Rebel allies have +10% Potency, doubled for Ewoks.

    • Anyone have any experience with the Zeta on C3PO's unique? Is it worthwhile?
      It looks like i'll likely be using him a fair bit, mostly with Rebels in arena.
      Would love to hear from any who have taken the plunge.
    • Holidays is great for mixed feelings, testing, and nerfs.
      Escpecially when nerfs shoot you in the face.

      Its not out yet though, but it doesnt matter to me because i dont have him yet.
      But, the nerfs arent too too bad, and its by ea`s code of ethics.
      Its just a large suprise.

      If you're running a resistance or hybrid resistance/rebel team with him, then his unique is most definitely worth it. Even if you don't run R2, it will still benefit C3P0 by getting him to the 3 stack CD reduction bonus.
      Example:
      R2 starts with 1 stack of translation ( SoT )
      1st turn he uses smoke screen and gains +1 SoT, giving him +15% CC
      2nd turn he uses his burning AoE, which is special damage based. Since r2 has a fairly low base special CC under JTR of 55% ( around 25% at g12, with 30% from JTR lead if using it), that extra 15% could mean a couple extra exposes to generate more TM for your squad.

      At the 3rd stack, CD reduction will happen whenever c3p0 uses his basic, allowing more stealth and burn more often. It doesn't seem like much, but it will get your team rolling faster, which is always a plus.

      For TB, the stacks of translation reset every wave, so it will help there also if you use him.

      Thanks!

      If you don’t run a cleanser or very high tenacity team against C-3PO you basically have ability block, daze, and buff immunity for the whole battle. That doesn’t sound fun.


      It's not fun.

      Hey guys, I hope you are all doing great!!


      Yup, I’m doing great, thanks.
    • Loop character which doesnt require any speed bc of rhan to have an advantage right at the start of the battle. Mods matter not at all. Nothing to enjoy in this gameplay. Its just faceroll to most metas as bastila had been. Ruining the game slowly making a no turn to most other metas.

      The main issue of very bad defense KI remains, which leads to those extreme OP attack builds.
