UNIT NAME: Padawan Obi-Wan

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Attacker, Galactic Republic, Jedi

Key Attributes:

• High critical chance attacker
• Punches you in the face with a Lightsaber
• He has his own exclusive datacron
• Omicron for Conquest designed for improving battle win rates and covering some feat requirements
• Devilishly handsome

Inspiration:

• We knew we wanted to do a Phantom Menace beat for the 25th anniversary of that film, which would include “poncho Qui-Gon” (our placeholder name for Master Qui-Gon). With that and Queen Amidala on the roadmap, it made synergistic sense to include some one who worked thematically with both of them.
• We have three other versions of Obi-Wan (General Kenobi, Jedi Master Kenobi, and “Old Ben” Kenobi), but we never had the Padawan version in the game obtainable.
• We had some choices for what item his Relic would be, but took the opportunity to make it his Phantom Menace lightsaber as it is iconic to this version of Obi-Wan and this would be our only opportunity to include it on a character (since Maul kicked it down a shaft).
• Please play with sound on (and music!) in the final tier of his Marquee (requires Relic 5 Padawan Obi-Wan). We pulled out all the stops for this homage. As a matter of fact, you should just always have sound on, our sound design team is fantastic!

Strategy Tips:

• For his Special 2, Sweeping Assault, if Queen Amidala is present this attack deals damage twice. Importantly however, its order of operations is: First Damage -> Defense Down -> Second Damage.
• Padawan Obi-Wan’s offensive capabilities are quite potent, but he has very few defensive options. Using the rest of his team to keep him safe can be key to victory.

FAQ:

• I won’t have Queen Amidala right away, what utility does Padawan Obi-Wan (and Master Qui-Gon) have?
  • POW and MQG are “hero units” in the upcoming Battle for Naboo raid, meaning they are meant to perform better in the new raid. 
  • They are both Galactic Republic Jedi and have callouts to one another in their kits so as a pair they should do well under any leader who cares about Galactic Republic/Jedi.
• For Padawan Obi-Wan’s unique ability it says, “At the start of battle, Padawan Obi-Wan gains 25% Critical Chance for each other Galactic Republic ally”, does Queen Amidala’s decoy count for this (assuming she has the Omicron active)?.
  •  No, the Decoy does not count in this instance.
• How do I get the exclusive Padawan Obi-Wan Datacron?
  • It’s a “First Time” reward for the penultimate tier of his Marquee (Requiring a 7* Padawan Obi-Wan)
