Support?

What is the purpose of Support? Telling someone, that one of the characters in your team is a support character and they ask, what is a support character? What is the definition? Attacker obvious they attack (yet they all attack in some form, minus Wat.
  • There is no strict definition.

    The character class will change the primary stats, and have an effect on mastery archetype.

    Generally speaking a support toon will have a focus on buffs/debuffs, healing or some regen, or other none combat characteristics. They will not have high damage output, or a tonne of health/protection themselves.
  • Filter by "Support," look at the characters, and think about what they have in common. Typically, they're the "utility" characters. They heal, give TM, call assists, grant buffs, inflict debuffs, perform general battlefield control. Swiss Army knife types, they tend not to be focused on any one thing (e.g. dealing damage, tanking damage, or healing). Thrawn is a prototypical support, as is R2.
  • just seen Moff Gideon and seen his kit. Ignore last message, Get some more support on the rest imperial troopers ?

    C3PO, hoda, and MM
  • @SemiGod the rest mustn’t support the team then?

    Thanks for the explanation @Kyno and @chionophile would tactical not be a better word. I appreciate not as graceful sounding.
