Want to learn more about this ship? Check out the Malevolence Developer Insight!


UNIT NAME: Malevolence
ALIGNMENT: Dark
CATEGORIES: Dark Side, Capital Ship, Separatist, Droid
Separatist Capital Ship that powers up both Separatists and Droids and has the means to shut down entire enemy fleets.



ABILITIES:

Basic: Fire!



FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Stun them for 1 turn.

Special 1: Charging Malevolence (Cooldown 3)



FINAL TEXT: Dispel all debuffs on target ally and grant them 1 stack of Overcharge for 2 turns. Grant all allies 20% Turn Meter. Then, call target ally to assist.

Overcharge: +20% Offense and Defense per stack (max 5 stacks), can't be copied

Special 2: All Cannons Fire! (Cooldown 4)



FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to all enemies and inflict Offense Down for 2 turns. This attack deals 10% more damage for each ally with Overcharge.

Special 3 (Ultimate): Fire The Ion Cannon! (Cooldown 5)



FINAL TEXT: Stun the enemy Capital Ship for 1 turn. Dispel all buffs from all enemies and remove all Protection and Turn Meter from them (including the Capital Ship). Affected enemies can't recover Protection or gain bonus Protection for the rest of the battle. These effects can't be dispelled, evaded, or resisted. This ability starts on cooldown.

Unique: Let Them Come

FINAL TEXT: Separatist allies have +50% Critical Avoidance. Malevolence triples the effects of Buzz Droids on enemies.

Each time the Malevolence uses a Special ability (except Call Reinforcement), it summons a Vulture Droid if there is an available slot on the battlefield. The Malevolence gains 30% Turn Meter whenever an allied Vulture Droid is defeated.

Whenever another Separatist or Droid ally uses a Basic ability, they gain a stack of Overcharge for 2 turns if an ally is already Overcharged.

Reinforcement Bonus: Reinforcements gain Overcharge for 2 turns.
  • Its going to be based on Malevolence stats... summoned units are based on summoner stats... at least thats the way it has been so far

    From the Dev Insights:

    Q: Why makes this ship interesting and unique?
    CG_M: This capital ship is all about Vulture Droids and synergizing with swarms of these ships. Whenever you use any capital ship special abilities, it summons a special version of the Vulture Droid into any open slot. This obviously creates a whole lot of Vultures throughout the battle. Bring your own playable Vulture Droid and then enemy is going to be fighting waves and waves of fragile attackers. Finally, don’t forget that Vulture Droids have a chance to assist when attacking Buzz Droid inflicted enemies. This means you can bring to bear an incredible amount of firepower with a fleet full of Vulture Droids.


    Special Version = Not based on our own Vulture Droid. Probably means it's stats scale w/ the cap ship, but they might also just be set values and not change.
  • The ultimate ability bonus protection of endurance will still work, as it says cannot be prevented, right?

    Not that I'm thinking endurance has any chance against this, just checking.

    Dang, I thought he had it in the bag when he trashed Spy and Vulture on the same AOE right at the start.

    That's MY Malevolence!
  • Why summoned Vultures or those replace Vulture Droid do not apply buff immunity?
