UNIT NAME: Luthen Rael

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Rebel, Rebel Fighter, Light Side, Support

Key Attributes:

• Summon a Rebel Commander to fight for you
  • With Luthen on the team, any Rebel Troopers summoned will instantly be promoted to a Rebel Commander
• Kit changes depending on the Leader (Saw Gerrera or not)
  • When not using Saw Gerrera as leader, he works best with Mon’s Rebel Fighters
• Has both great offense and defense capabilities, depending on the comp and strategy you use them for

Inspiration:

• One of our favorite characters from Andor!
• We leaned into the dual identities he had in the show with the Axis and Curator effects and having him work differently with different Rebel Fighter Leaders
• Every ability name was taken from the impactful monologue he gives

Strategy Tips:

• Kit is more offensive with Saw Gerrera as the Leader, otherwise more supportive 
  • With Saw Gerrera as the Leader, the summoned Rebel Troopers will gain the new Expendable Asset effect
• In Grand Arenas, Luthen’s Special 1 (What Do I Sacrifice?) lets the targeted Rebel Fighter / Mon Mothma ignore Taunt until the end of their next turn
• With Saw Gerrera as the Leader, letting the Rebel Trooper be defeated is beneficial since it resets the cooldowns of your Attacker Rebel Fighter allies, whereas it’s more beneficial to keep the Rebel Trooper alive with Mon Mothma as the Leader

FAQ:

• How do we get Luthen Rael?
  • He will be the next Conquest reward character
• What are the names of the new effects?
  • Axis (With Saw Gerrera)
  • Curator (Without Saw Gerrera)
  • Expendable Asset (Only for the Summon)
• Is there a difference between Mon Mothma’s Rebel Trooper and Luthen Rael’s Trooper?
  • They have the same kit design but are visually different so you know who summoned them
  • Additionally, Luthen will automatically promote the Trooper to Commander no matter who summons them
• Can I have two Summoned Troopers on the field at the same time?
  • No
