UNIT NAME: Batcher

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Bad Batch

Key Attributes:

• She can Ability Block and inflict Offense Down on the entire enemy team 
• Ignores Stealth and Taunt during her turn 
• Damage cannot be evaded

Inspiration:

• We considered Batcher as a Summon for Omega, but felt her role on the team was worthy of being a standalone unit.
• The audio on her abilities are lifted straight from the show, which is always a plus when it comes to making characters feel authentic to the source material.
• Be thankful we didn’t use the original animation we pitched for Batcher Marking an enemy with Piercing Howl.

Strategy Tips:

• Special 1 is a great way to control your enemy 
• Batcher is a debuff specialist, use this to your advantage
• Utilize your abilities with Captive for best results 
• Prioritize high Speed to ensure Batcher acts frequently and gains the advantage of Speed Up from Crushing Assault

FAQ:

• How do I acquire Batcher?
• You can acquire Batcher through the Marquee Event starting on 1 -28-25
• Where have I seen Bleed before?
  • The Nexu fight on Geonosis TB was the first use of Bleed, with Batcher being the second.
• I thought her name was Betcha?
  • Thanks to Omega’s accent, a lot of people here did too.

Final Text: 

Batcher's damage can't be evaded, and she ignores Stealth and Taunt during her turn. While another Bad Batch ally is inflicted with Captive, Batcher has +50% Offense, +50 Speed, and Piercing Howl's cooldown is reduced by 1. Batcher assists herself whenever she uses a Special ability on her turn.
