Wampa- Kit Reveal

Wampas are large, furry predators that stalk their prey under the cover of snowfall. One of these beasts attacked Luke Skywalker outside Echo Base, and devoured the tauntaun he was riding. Shards for Wampa can be acquired through the Guild Event Store.



Basic Ability: Womp!


FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Damage Over Time for 2 turns. If the target was Exposed or Staggered, Stun them for 1 turn. If the target was debuffed, gain 20% Turn Meter. If Wampa isn't debuffed, gain 20% Turn Meter. This attack can't be Evaded. This attack has +100% Offense against Rebel targets.

Special Ability 1: Icebreaker


FINAL TEXT: Dispel all debuffs on Wampa. Deal Physical damage to all enemies and Daze them for 2 turns. Wampa gains Protection Up (150%) until the next time this ability is used, which can't be Dispelled or prevented. (Cooldown 5)

Special Ability 2: Furious Foe


FINAL TEXT: Inflict Healing Immunity on all enemies for 2 turns, which can't be Evaded. Wampa gains 35% Accuracy, 35% Critical Chance, and 35% Offense (stacking) for the rest of the encounter. Wampa gains 15% Turn Meter for each defeated ally and each active enemy. This ability starts on cooldown. (Cooldown 4)

Unique Ability 1: Howling Rage

FINAL TEXT: While Wampa has Protection Up, it has +20% Counter Chance, +50% Offense, and +50% Tenacity.

Unique Ability 2: Cornered Beast

FINAL TEXT: Wampa has +50% Counter Chance. Wampa has +10% Counter Chance, +5% Health Steal and +5% Offense for each Damage Over Time effect on each enemy.

    Droids have a defined intelligence but no soul and life energy. The imperial probe droid’s association to an “evil faction” is what aligns it as a dark side character. The same could NOT be said for innocent imperial citizens however, that do not act on national directives or a product of the empire, merely an asset or notable collateral that doesn’t sway one way or the other.

    Just my 2 cents on the early posts about wampa’s light/dark identification.

    *another possibility is that this is the SPECIFIC Wampa that attacked Luke - not a nameless toon that mascots the species. That individual Wampa could have been particularly closer to the dark side based on location and the presence of galactic conflict (or force-sensitive hotspots from Hoth itself). It’s possible that other wampas could have been good-hearted and nurturing in spirit. The Force is a complicated web.


    Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't we seen the Dark Side of the Force corrupt non-sentient living things before?

    And if you have a problem with Wampa, you should have a problem with Probe Droid as well. I always got the sense that they were more probe than droid. Not really sentient. Just really basic in the droid world. Kinda like a dog.

    I could be wrong.


    I'm not sure about new canon, but I remember in the old canon Droids could utilise the Force if they went long enough without a memory wipe. Droids can develop some level of sentience or true intelligence if they don't have their memories wiped for a very long time, which I guess counts them as 'living' things and allows the Force to flow through them. Given that they can use it, I guess they can also be affected by the different sides of it.

    Yes, we have. I can think of some instances where Korriban corrupted all the wildlife and made them feral (ish), separate from non-sentient species that were naturally drawn to the dark side like the Hssiss (spelling?)

    And I can get that about the probe droid. Very simple programming, unlike Astro mechs or service droids like C3-P0. No “free-will,” so automatically dark side only by association to the faction of the empire.

    @SpadeFreeman , as for droids gaining force sensitivity, i’m Gonna draw the line. I understand going without a memory wipe approaches a state of rampancy where they can do as they wish with erratic behavior, but I don’t think that’s crossing a threshold of being “alive.”

    Stacking!? Whoa... if the Wampa can survive the eight rounds it takes to use this skill twice, that's an obscene amount of power! Does this by chance stack throughout all eight rounds of a territory battle?

    I've got my Wampa ready to roll and I am really curious about this. I just kind of assumed it would, but I want to make sure.
