UNIT NAME: Dark Trooper Moff Gideon

ALIGNMENT: Dark

CATEGORIES: Dark Side, Leader, Empire, Imperial Remnant, Tank

Key Attributes:

• Pulls Imperial Remnant team together and lifts it into relevance.
• Basic damage scales based off target’s debuffs.
• In Territory Wars, starts with Taunt, forcing enemy to generate Insight stacks by dealing damage.
• He is built to bully enemy Turn Meter gains and help allies prosper when Turn Meter is manipulated positively or negatively.
• Challenges certain Galactic Legends in TW and does well against those pesky Mara Jade and Juhani Omicron squads.

Inspiration:

• Moff Gideon’s badass Dark Trooper phase 4 armor in The Mandalorian season 3.
• Giancarlo Esposito always brings the energy to the role, and we wanted to capture that in the abilities.
• Inspired by his self-cloning program, Moff Gideon likes to work with other Moff Gideons. Finally, an in-universe explanation why two versions of the same character are on the same squad!

Strategy Tips:

• Time the use of Special 1 to get the most out of your Turn Meter reduction.
• Save your revive for the opportune moment.
• Works effectively with Imperial Super Commando (post touch-up) and Gar Saxon under a Maul lead.
• Gideon understands that flesh is better than circuits, which is why he doesn’t work well with droid allies.

FAQ:

• How do I acquire Dark Trooper Moff Gideon?
  • DTMG is the next Conquest character and you can start getting his shards with the next Conquest. 
• What squad do I use him with?
  • In Territory Wars he thrives leading the Imperial Remnant. In Grand Arena we know Iden with her Omicron likes to use some of these troopers, so his Mandalorian synergy should help provide an option for a Maulorians team when in that mode.
  • We know how crucial the Dark Trooper droid is to the Veers' led Imperial Trooper squad, so we made sure to balance Dark Trooper Moff Gideon's squad around not needing Dark Trooper on it to be powerful.
• Can I preview him before I unlock him?
  • The Conquests featuring Dark Trooper Moff Gideon will have a consumable that will summon a Relic 9 DTMG with level 8 abilities for one battle.
