Key Attributes:

• Benefits from having a slow team
• Unaligned Force User synergy helps kit come together
• Foundationally works well with Cal Kestis 
• We cannot stress enough that Cere benefits from your opponent taking turns first

Inspiration:

• This version of Cere Junda is taken entirely from her appearance in the game Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn Entertainment
• Cere’s ability Determined Assault is taken from when she used (Spoiler) Second Sister’s lightsaber to distract a foe who was about to strike down Cal Kestis in Jedi: Fallen Order
• And Force Barrier is paying homage to the moment she held back this same foe from striking her down moments later
• Cere’s Leader ability Rekindle is inspired by her motivation to rebuild the Jedi order through finding people like Cal Kestis and other Force users
• Cere was designed alongside and in conjunction with Cal Kestis, ensuring that both characters synergized with one another

Strategy Tips:

• Cere and her team benefit from being slower than their opponent. One of those benefits is stacking Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and Offense the more turns the enemy takes prior to Cere’s team taking their first turn.
• Cal Kestis, Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) and Rey (Scavenger) work well under Cere, especially with Cere’s Omicron, because they deal multiple instances of damage. This combined with the stacking statistical benefits of the leader allow them to deal high burst damage.
