UNIT NAME: Tusken Chieftain

ALIGNMENT: Dark Side

CATEGORIES: Support, Leader, Tusken

ABILITIES:

BASIC: Ceremonial Dance (Zeta)

Final Text: Call a random other ally to assist, dealing 50% more damage. Grant Tusken allies 2 stacks of Momentum for 3 turns.

SPECIAL 1: Token of Respect (Cooldown: 3)

Final Text: Grant all Tusken allies Protection Up (60%) for 2 turns, dispel all debuffs from them, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

UNIQUE 1: Ancestral Claim

Final Text: Whenever an enemy recovers Health or Protection, inflict 1 stack of Damage Over Time on them for 2 turns at the end of that turn. Whenever an enemy takes damage from a Damage Over Time effect, Tusken allies recover 10% Health. Tusken allies are immune to Damage Over Time effects.

LEADER: Nomadic People (Zeta, Omicron)

Final Text: Whenever an enemy gains bonus Turn Meter, grant Tusken allies 1 stack of Momentum for 3 turns. Tusken allies gain 20% Defense and Tenacity for each stack of Momentum on them. Whenever a Tusken ally is targeted by an enemy and they have at least 10 stacks of Momentum, remove all stacks of Momentum, Stun all attacking enemies for 1 turn, which can't be resisted, and the targeted Tusken ally takes a bonus turn. For each stack of Momentum removed this way, there is a 20% chance (+5% per Relic Amplifier level, max 50% total) to inflict a stack of Damage Over Time on each attacking enemy for 2 turns.

While in 3v3 Grand Arenas: Boba Fett, Scion of Jango counts as a Tusken ally if there is no character that summons at the start of battle. Boba Fett, Scion of Jango's Payout is active and he can't lose Momentum stacks except through expiration.

Key Attributes:

• Puts a halt to the Turn Meter Train on its tracks
• Damage over time makes the pain train come through town Woo Wooooooooo
• A piece of the Tusken puzzle

Inspiration:

• Now that this is on the bottom, you’re not going to read it anyway
• We can say pretty much whatever we want
• Like “Hey, you should start leveling up your Sith ships”
• Tusken Chieftain comes to us from The Book of Boba Fett, where he led the tribe that took in Boba Fett after he escaped the Pit of Carkoon
• The Token of Respect ability comes from the underground black melon that he offers Boba Fett after Boba proves his worth to the tribe
• The Ceremonial Dance ability is inspired by the dance the Tuskens do by the bonfire

Strategy Tips:

• Utilize the new Tusken team to counter frequent Turn Meter gain from teams like Imperial Troopers
• Tusken Chieftain partners with Boba Fett, Scion of Jango to make a powerful new 3v3 Grand Arenas team
