UNIT NAME: Morgan Elsbeth

ALIGNMENT: Dark Side

CATEGORIES: Tank, Nightsister

Key Attributes:

• Durable Tank that synergizes with Foresight and Stealth to help Acolyte and Spirit do big damage
• Provides tons of survivability with health and protection mechanics around Foresight and Stealth.
• Sets the stage for a new Nightsister squad

Inspiration:

• The Ahsoka show! Especially the granting of the Blade of Talzin and the fights that take place between Morgan and Ahsoka. We really wanted to make a kit that shows off how powerful Morgan is and how important her Nightsister ancestry is to her. 
• The animations for her attackers were inspired by the choreography of the aforementioned fight between Morgan and Ahsoka
• We were inspired for her to be the Tank in the new Nightsister squad from Thrawn’s request that she stall, and hold off Ahsoka while he escaped.

Strategy Tips:

• Morgan has a reactive Taunt to allies gaining Stealth. Use Acolyte's Basic ability so Morgan can protect her allies! Or, if the target enemy had Defense Down whenever Morgan uses her Basic, it grants the weakest non-Tank Nightsister ally Stealth.
• Whenever a Nightsister ally critically hits an enemy, that enemy is inflicted with Defense Down, which helps Morgan give out Stealth on her Basic and deals more Damage on her Special 2 Omicron!
• For survivability, Morgan provides Health recovery and Protection recovery whenever a Nightsister ally Stealths or gains Foresight.
• Morgan creates an Offensively strong squad by providing Offense increases when she is Taunting or to a Nightsister ally who has Foresight and Critical Damage to a Stealthed Nightsister.

FAQ:

How do I acquire Morgan Elsbeth?

• Marquee starting on 11a Pacific July 18th. This uses the new Marquee structure. 

Does she have an exclusive datacron?

• No, however she will have an affix in an upcoming datacron set.

Why does she prevent Nightsisters from reviving?

• We wanted this new Nightsister squad to feel distinct from the existing one that centers around Plague and revives. Additionally, this allowed us to put the power we wanted into Morgan without concern of lifting Talzin’s squad too high.

Who leads this new Nightsister squad?

• The Great Mothers, coming soon

Do I need Morgan for anything upcoming?

• Baylan Skoll’s Epic Confrontation requirements will require Morgan Elsbeth at relic 7.
