    Inspiration:

    • Boss Nass’ jowl-shake was absolutely going to be included in the kit somewhere, it’s so iconic and so very Boss Nass.

    Strategy Tips:

    • The Shield Generator is a critical component for the effectiveness of Gungans as a whole
      • Though each Gungan will bring a plethora of debilitating effects in their own right, the Shield Generator provides a tremendous amount of resilience and synergy for each Gungan ally.
      • Each Gungan will also have their own share of synergies and benefits from the presence of the Shield Generator
    • All Gungans will convert a portion of their Max Health into Max Protection, this can be important to consider while choosing your mods
