Kit Reveal: Death Trooper (Peridea) (2024)

UNIT NAME:Death Trooper (Peridea)

ALIGNMENT: Dark

CATEGORIES:Attacker, Imperial Remnant, Nightsister, Dark Side

Key Attributes:

• C-C-C-C-C-C-om nom nom nombo breaker! Use the execute ability to get an ability cooldown rest plus bonus turn
• AOE ability that perfectly sets up execute ability (And a great way to ignore taunt, you know who you are)
• Death Trooper (Peridea) continues to build off of the new Blight debuff, helping to spread Blight across enemy teams and applying additional effects to enemies that were already inflicted with Blight
• With his Om-nom-nomicron, Siphon Critical Damage can scale damage significantly

Inspiration:

• Thrawn’s Death Troopers are brutal and scary, and we wanted to lean into that for these specific Death Troopers
• Death Trooper (Peridea)’s Special ability ‘Just a Little Nibble’ was inspired by the blink-and-you-miss-it moment where he attempts to bite Sabine’s arm, only to have her block it with her Beskar vambrace.

Strategy Tips:

• Death Trooper (Peridea)’s skill rotation varies depending on whether or not he’s in Territory Wars with his Omicron.
• Crit Damage is your friend, try to boost this
• While Death Trooper (Peridea) works under existing leads, he’s really waiting for the right Captain to come along to lead him

FAQ:

• How do I acquire Death Trooper (Peridea)?
  • Marquee starting on 11a Pacific on August 1st. This uses the new Marquee structure.
• Will Death Trooper (Peridea) be required for GL Ahsoka?
  • Yes, Death Trooper (Peridea) will be required at Relic 7
• How does the execute work?
• We have a lot of abilities that say, if you defeat an enemy with this ability - do x. With execute, what will happen is that if the enemy is dropped below 10% Health (or 20% with the Omicron) by Just a Little Nibble’s damage, they will be instantly defeated in the same turn, Death Trooper (Peridea) will gain a bonus turn, and his cooldown on that ability will be reset so that he can continue to clean up the enemy squad.

ABILITIES:

BASIC:Firing by Rote

Final Text:

Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 40% chance to inflict a stack of Blight, which can't be copied or dispelled, until the end of the encounter.

SPECIAL 1:Just a Little Nibble (CD: 3)

Final Text:

Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Blight, which can't be copied or dispelled, until the end of the encounter. If the target enemy already had Blight, also inflict 2 stacks of Damage Over Time for 2 turns and remove 5% Turn Meter from the target enemy 3 times. If this ability takes an enemy below 10% Health, instantly defeat them. If this ability defeats an enemy, Death Trooper (Peridea) gains a bonus turn and the cooldown of this ability is reset.

While in Territory Wars and if all allies are Imperial Remnant or Nightsister at the start of battle: Death Trooper (Peridea) Siphons Critical Damage from the target enemy, which can't be resisted. If this ability takes an enemy below 20% Health, instantly defeat them. If the target enemy already had Blight, also inflict Armor Shred until the end of battle.

While this Omicron is active, Firing by Rote and Necrotic Tissue gain additional effects.

All allies gain Offense Up and Speed Up for 2 turns.

While in Territory Wars and if Death Trooper (Peridea) has his Omicron activated: this ability deals additional damage equal to 40% of his Critical Damage and Death Trooper (Peridea) gains 10 stacks of Siphon for each debuff inflicted by this ability.
