Kit Reveal: Resistance Hero Poe



Kit Reveal - Developer Insight

UNIT NAME: Resistance Hero Poe
ALIGNMENT: Light
CATEGORIES: Light Side, Attacker, Resistance
Offensive Attacker who overpowers his enemies with debilitating effects.

ABILITIES:

Basic: Flinching Shot



FINAL TEXT: Deal Special damage to target enemy. If Resistance Hero Poe is Inspired, the target enemy becomes Vulnerable for 1 turn.

Vulnerable: Will be Critically Hit if able

Special 1: Optic Onslaught (Cooldown 3)



FINAL TEXT: Deal Special damage to target enemy and inflict Daze and Stagger for 2 turns. If Resistance Hero Poe is Inspired he also inflicts 3 Damage Over Time debuffs for 1 turn.

Special 2: Blaster Bravado (Cooldown 3)



FINAL TEXT: Deal Special damage to target enemy and Stun them for 2 turns. If Resistance Hero Poe is Inspired, dispel all buffs on them and inflict Buff Immunity for 2 turns. This ability can't be evaded.

Unique 1: Spark of Resistance

FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) If all of Resistance Hero Poe's allies are Light Side, enemies lose 5% Protection whenever they lose a debuff. When Inspired allies deal damage to an enemy, they also deal bonus damage equal to 10% of the target's Max Health, which can't be evaded. If an enemy critically hits an Inspired ally, all buffs are dispelled from that enemy at the end of the turn.

If Resistance Hero Poe is Inspired when he uses a Special ability during his turn, he can Inspire another target Resistance ally.
  • Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Inspired: adds buffs, but is lost after being critically hit 3 times. (Assuming that buff immunity does not block it. It doesn’t say.)

    Finn - Strength of Will: if TM swapped with Poe (only), Poe becomes Inspired.. (Cooldown 4)

    Poe - Spark of Resistance: if Poe’s Inspired and uses a special, he Inspires target Res ally.
    Poe’s Specials - cooldown 3.
    Poe - Basic: if inspired Poe adds Vulnerability. (The only way to add it).

    So, it takes 4 cooldowns for a second character to be Inspired, and 5 cooldowns to either add a 3rd Inspired ally, or to even start adding Vulnerability to the enemy...

    This team will be dead before it gets started.

    When Poe gets inspired, Finn does from the same special. At that point, Poe would go and could use a special to inspire another ally.
    If the Finn was fast enough, there would be 3 inspired characters at the beginning of the battle.

    Keep in mind we are still waiting for the new Rey's kit and how it interacts with inspired.

    Also inspired is a blue icon so I don't think it can be stopped by buff immunity.

    EDIT: Poe can inspire another character (for a total of 4) on his next turn if he uses the other special. This is without any spreading that Rey(or any other potential added resistance character) could potentially do.

    When Finn is inspired, resistance allies have 100% counter chance, so if poe is hit and counters, he can inflict vulnerable. Also, when Finn uses his rally ability he would call Poe to assist.

    Right now the key seems to be making the new Finn extremely fast.
    Yeah, inspiring toons do not seem to be an issue without accounting for new Rey. Also, Resistance leads (prenerf zFinn / JTR) have some way to reduce cooldowns so it’s highly likely that new Rey will also have something to do with cooldown decrease on her lead.

    Will he be a pilot?
    What CG is doing with pilots and ships is just as ridiculous as Kenobi Poe synergy.

    That said, really surprised you guys put efforts on extra Poe and Finn. Makes me wonder if Hallucination Han is going to be a joke for much longer. I guess it is really no different than KRU vs. KR though


    carbonite han and c3p0 on chewies back along with one handed luke from empire strikes back lol

    RH Finn and Poe both seem to be awaiting new Rey or possibly Gen Leia Organa to really get Inspiration rolling, possibly via their leader ability (ally is inspired when X happens). It seems like a pre-JTR BB8 situation, where BB8's kit seemed underwhelming until JTR's kit came out a few weeks later.

    Also, outstanding work on the art for Poe.
  • So ?

    Any comments on how bad they are looking at the vid of Arnhald ?
