Kit Reveal: Jedi Master Mace Windu

UNIT NAME: Jedi Master Mace Windu

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Leader, Attacker, Galactic Republic, Jedi, Jedi Vanguard

Key Attributes:

• You asked! We delivered!  A Journey Guide version of the iconic Mace Windu!
• Powerful Attacker - They say this cat Mace is a bad mother... (Shut your mouth) I'm only talkin' 'bout Mace
• New Investigation and Revealed mechanic
• Did we mention this version is an Attacker?

Inspiration:

• Mace Windu has always had a significant role in the prequels and the Clone Wars series. His actions in Revenge of the Sith made him the prime candidate for the Legendary unit for this Era
• We took inspiration from the original version of Mace in SW:GOH, from his scenes in Revenge of the Sith, and from the novel Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss
• The Shatterpoint debuff being applied via the Basic ability is paying homage to the original version of Mace Windu in the game
• The Rebels episode Homecoming (S2E16) had Cham Syndulla recounting the story that gave Mace the nickname “The Hammer of Ryloth”
• Finally, Glass Abyss gave us the name for his Leader ability, Solver, as well as being the inspiration for the Investigation/Revealed mechanic
• Because they were able to fly under the radar for decades, Sith are immune to being Revealed

Strategy Tips:

• Only one enemy can be Investigated at a time, so be tactical with who you Investigate
• Calculate when you use Mace’s Special 1 as it does loads of damage to Revealed enemies and enemies in the Leader Slot
• Aayla’s added Unique makes her the perfect addition to Jedi Master Mace Windu’s team

      • Final Text: At the start of battle, if Jedi Master Mace Windu is in the Leader slot and there are no other Jedi Vanguard Attackers with a Leader ability:
      • At the start of each encounter, inflict all enemies with Defense Down for 2 turns
      • All Jedi Vanguard allies gain 30% Max Health, Potency, and Tenacity until the end of battle, and 30% Max Protection until the first time Aayla is defeated
      • Aayla gains 50% Critical Chance and Tenacity, 30% Defense, and 5% Offense per Relic Amplifier level
      • Whenever Aayla Stuns an enemy from her abilities, all Jedi Vanguard allies recover 20% Health and Protection
      • Whenever Aayla critically hits an enemy, she gains 8% Critical Chance and Critical Damage (stacking) until the end of the encounter, and if that enemy had a stack of Investigation, they gain another stack of Investigation (max 5) for 2 turns
      • Whenever Aayla uses a Special ability, she calls a random other Jedi Vanguard Attacker ally to assist and Jedi Vanguard allies recover 25% Health and Protection
      • If all allies were Jedi Vanguard at the start of each encounter and there are no Galactic Legend enemies, whenever an enemy attacks out of turn, all Jedi Vanguard allies recover 15% Health and Protection and the ally they attacked dispels all debuffs on themselves. If an enemy is called to assist, all other enemies lose 8% Turn Meter, which can't be resisted
• Why is there a Jedi Knight Anakin callout in Jedi Master Mace Windu’s Leader Omicron if he isn’t a Jedi Vanguard? 
  • Because Anakin did not get the rank of Master, get wrecked. The line “If there is an ally Jedi Knight Anakin, he does not gain the Mastery increase” is just a fun nod to the iconic moment of Anakin not being granted the rank of Master. 
• What are Investigation and Revealed?
  • Investigation is a status effect that Jedi Master Mace Windu and a few other key Vanguard allies give to enemies from mechanics throughout their kits.
  • Once an enemy gains 5 stacks of Investigation, they lose all stacks and become Revealed (a powerful debuff) for the rest of the encounter, and no longer can gain Investigation stacks. 
  • Only one enemy can be Investigated at a time, but multiple enemies can be Revealed.
  • Sith are immune to Reveal, because we all remember how Revenge of the Sith went down... GLs are immune as well until Mace has his Leader Omicron active in Territory Wars, then he can reveal non Sith GLs.
    • Sith and GLs can be Investigated at any time
