UNIT NAME: Huyang

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Attacker, Droid, Spectre

Key Attributes:

• History of the Galaxy buffs your Jedi allies (Tiered System, read it) 
• Territory Battle Special dispels ally debuffs and enemy buffs 
• When under a Spectre Galactic Legend Leader **CoughAhsokaCough** provides Jedi Lessons to specific allies
• Rare Light Side Attacker Droid

Inspiration:

• Huyang alliance with Ahsoka Tano in the Ahsoka series made him an auto-include for her and her squad
• His fight against the HK droids on Seatos gave us the inspiration for his “Droid Pugilist” Basic ability.
• We wanted to work in “History of the Galaxy” in a fun way. Making it a three-stage buff let us lean into the Parts that Huyang’s stories were broken into.
• The original draft for Huyang had him synergizing with Lightsaber users and abilities, since he is the Lightsaber architect of the Jedi Order. This didn’t make the cut due to several factors, including how the player knows what is or isn’t a Lightsaber ability, and whether or not Lightsaber User was worthy of a tag of its own just for this one ability (it wasn’t).

Strategy Tips:

• Pairing Huyang with Light Side Droids or Exiled allies can help maximize his damage potential
• Stay Together provides potent buffs for specific allies that can help swing the battle
