Kit Reveal: Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka

UNIT NAME: Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka

ALIGNMENT: Dark

CATEGORIES: Galactic Legend, Dark Side, Support, Leader, Pirate, Scoundrel, Smuggler, Order 66 Raid

Key Attributes:

• Taunts? Please. Lightning Raid goes right past them to the real prize.
• Profit?  My favorite word! For me, there is no limit to how much I can stack. The more I gain, the more glorious I become!
• Ah, and when I am swimming in Profit—let us say ten stacks or more—my friends, my entire crew cannot help but join in the fun. A double assist call! Nothing says ‘teamwork’ like everyone piling on when I already have the upper hand.
• The richer we are, the more painful it becomes for the enemy. A beautiful arrangement, yes?
• Jedi, Sith—it makes no difference. Heroes, villains… they all look the same when I’m taking their credits.

Inspiration:

• Hondo Ohnaka has always been a legend in his own mind—we just finally caught up and made it official. His Galactic Legend kit and event framing aren’t about brute stats; they’re about letting players feel the thrill of being the galaxy’s most lovable scoundrel—someone who survives, thrives, and profits against all odds.

Hondo isn’t just a Pirate, he’s a performer. His Galactic Legend form leans into that flair, turning every ability and cinematic moment into a stage for his schemes. At the heart of it all, he remains exactly who he has always been: the opportunist who will always, somehow, come out ahead.

Strategy Tips:

• Ah, my friends, the entrance is everything! Always begin with a little Lightning Raid—fast, loud, and spectacular. It unsettles the enemy, dazzles the audience, and most importantly… it reminds everyone whose show this really is.
• And where there is profit… well, where else would you expect to find me? Point me at the enemies with the fattest pockets—ah, I mean, the juiciest buffs—and watch as I generously ‘reallocate’ those assets into my possession.
• As for survival? Please. I am not still here because of luck, no, no, no! I am still here because I am smart enough to duck at the right time. Play it wisely, and you will see me outlast enemies who are stronger, braver, and much less handsome.

FAQ:

• How do I unlock me?
  • At last, the most important question! You will find me where legends belong—in the TALES OF THE PIRATE KING Galactic Legend event. Bring your crew, bring your credits, and maybe… bring a bribe.
• Is he good in the new raid?
  • Am I good? My dear friend, I am essential. Without me, your raid is merely a brawl. With me, it is a masterpiece.
• What squad is best with him?
  • Ah, yes, every Pirate King needs a crew! SM-33, Brutus, Vane, Captain Silvo—together we are unstoppable, and, more importantly, very stylish.
• His Leader ability says “all Pirate allies and all Smuggler allies gain 30% Offense and 3% Speed”, GL Hondo has both tags, does he get this twice?
  • But of course! I am both Pirate and Smuggler, which means I enjoy twice the benefits. 60% Offense, 6% Speed—truly, it pays to be me.
• Why does Galactic Legend Hondo give the enemy team buffs?
  • Because generosity is good for business… especially when I take it all back.
• Why do the older pirates; Enfys Nest, Sana Starros and Hondo Ohnaka have a limit of 5 Stacks of Profit?
  • Ah, you see, my friends, too much Profit is… how do we say… bad for balance. Not for me, of course—I can handle unlimited riches with great responsibility! But for the sake of fairness (and so that the galaxy does not collapse under my overwhelming brilliance), we keep it to five stacks. A pity, yes – but a little Profit can go a long way in the right hands.

ABILITIES:

Ultimate - Mutual Gains (For Me) (Unlock - Relic 1)

Description: Requires 100% Ultimate Charge to activate.

Ultimate Charge: Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka gains 1% Ultimate Charge whenever a Pirate ally gains a stack of Profit and 2% Ultimate Charge whenever a Pirate ally uses an ability that Steals buffs. 

 All Pirate and Smuggler allies are revived with 100% Health. All enemies lose 25% Turn Meter, doubled for Jedi and Sith, which can't be resisted. Jedi and Sith enemies also have their cooldowns increased by 2. Enemies gain Critical Damage Up, Defense Up, and Offense Up for 2 turns.

Pirate King Hondo then inflicts Tenuous Agreement on all enemies for 2 turns, which can't be copied, dispelled, evaded, or resisted, and grants Favorable Terms to all Pirate allies for 2 turns, which can't be copied, dispelled, or prevented.

Tenuous Agreement: +10 Speed; deal 30% less damage to characters with Favorable Terms

Favorable Terms: +20% Critical Chance and Offense; recover 10% Protection at the start of this character's turn; gain a bonus turn and grant allied Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka 2 stacks of Profit when defeating an enemy with Tenuous Agreement.

Basic - Pistol Panache (Zeta)

Final Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and gain 1 stack of Profit. If this ability scores a critical hit, all Pirate allies also gain a stack of Profit. If it is Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka's turn, call a random Pirate Attacker and a random other Pirate ally to assist, dealing 2% more damage for each stack of Profit on all 3 allies and if the target enemy is Jedi or Sith, remove 2% Turn Meter for each buff and debuff on them. If any Turn Meter was removed, Hondo gains 3% Ultimate Charge.

If Pirate King Hondo had 10 or more stacks of Profit at the start of his turn, this ability is guaranteed to critically hit if able.

Final Text: All Pirate allies gain 10 Mastery (stacking) until the end of the encounter. 

Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka Steals all buffs (excluding taunt effects) from the target enemy, resets their duration, and grants all buffs on himself (excluding Stealth and taunt effects) to all Pirate allies. Then he inflicts the opposite debuff, if any, on the target enemy for 2 turns, dispels any remaining buffs on them, and increases their cooldowns by 1.

This ability can't be resisted.

Special 02 - Charismatic Captain (CD: 5) (Zeta)

Final Text: Dispel all debuffs from all allies and all Pirate allies recover 30% Health and Protection and gain 25% Turn Meter. If Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka has 10 or more stacks of Profit, consume 10 of them and all Pirate allies instead gain 75% Turn Meter and Speed Up for 2 turns.

Call all other Pirate allies to assist, and if Hondo consumed stacks of Profit with this ability, call all other Pirate allies to assist again.
