UNIT NAME: Captain Rex

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Support, Clone Trooper, Phoenix, Rebel, Rebel Fighter

Key Attributes:

• Captain Rex provides a much needed lift to the Phoenix squad by making use of Hera’s Leader ability to call all other Phoenix allies when a Phoenix character uses a Special ability
• Captain Rex has a strong synergy with critical chance and provides additional effects to his allies when he scores a critical hit
• Captain Rex earns Turn Meter for applying debuffs with his Special ability, Suppressing Fire, and when Phoenix and Clone Trooper allies gain debuffs
• Has an Omicron that works differently in GAC 5v5 and 3v3

Inspiration:

• This is Rex as we see him in Rebels, a seasoned warrior who isn’t afraid to push back against the Empire but who still prioritizes his team
• While not a core part of the Phoenix team, he did help them on enough missions we wanted to pay homage to that by giving him the Phoenix tag (and a Unique ability that all the other Phoenix characters can share)
• We also took into consideration his time in the Clone Wars with his Omicron in 3v3, allowing him to complete a team alongside Commander Cody and Clone Sergeant Phase I
• Captain Rex’s Special ability Master Marksman was inspired by the time in his debut episodes on Star Wars Rebels when he shoots the Imperial Probe Droid
• Captain Rex’s Basic ability is a nod to his friendship with Ahsoka Tano, and takes inspiration from Focused Slash

Strategy Tips:

• Critical Chance and Potency Mods are his friend
• Unlike other SWGOH characters, Captain Rex’s Special 2 inflicts Tenacity down prior to applying other Debuffs
• Captain Rex performs better against some squads with varying Phoenix members on his team, allowing for the other Phoenix squad members to be moved around situationally

FAQ:

• How do I obtain Captain Rex?
  • Captain Rex is a Marquee unit that will be available starting on Thursday at 11a Pacific
• Why is the Marquee only 3 tiers?
  • We’re experimenting with reducing the friction it takes to unlock Marquee units, while at the same time demonstrating his ideal team facing off against a team they were specifically designed to beat.
