SWGOH: Character Kit Adjustments for Gungan Phalanx, Ezra, Ahsoka, Merrin

Changes to several character kits are coming in an upcoming release. Gungan Phalanx's Omicron is being moved from Galactic Challenges to Territory Wars and rebalanced. Ezra Bridger (Exile) is getting a kit pass to gate key power behind a full Spectre squad so he lifts GL Ahsoka as intended rather than overperforming with GL Rey. Ahsoka is getting edge case fixes for turn meter trains and counter prevention. Merrin's Omicron is being gated so it only works when there are no Galactic Legends, to address her counter to Jabba. Omicron and Relic investments into Gungan Phalanx, Ezra, and Merrin will be reset and refunded to inboxes when the changes go live.

Ezra Bridger (Exile) receives a full kit rework.

Basic - Fugitive's Defense: Deals Physical damage and inflicts Speed Down for 3 turns. If all allies are Spectre and the attack crits, Ezra and a random ally gain Foresight for 1 turn and the target is Staggered for 2 turns.

Special 1 - Kanan's Legacy: All allies recover 40% Health and Protection. Spectre allies and the target ally gain Protection Up (50%, stacking) for 2 turns and are dispelled. Target other ally attacks and Ezra assists for 40% more damage, and both gain tag-based bonuses (Jedi get Tenacity Up, Unaligned Force User gets Defense Up, Spectre gets Backup Plan and Riposte). If the target ally is Jedi, Light Side Unaligned Force User, or Spectre, they gain a bonus turn. Spectre targets also gain 100% Offense next turn and Blind plus dispel the target enemy on their next attack. If all allies are Spectre, Ezra gains 2 stacks of Resilient Defense for 2 turns and 5 stacks of Purrgil Migration for the rest of battle. In Grand Arenas with all Spectre allies, Ezra gains 25 stacks of Purrgil Migration and all allies gain Backup Plan for 2 turns.

Special 2 - Daring Advance: Deals Physical damage 3 times and inflicts Healing Immunity and Offense Down for 2 turns. Gains 10% Critical Chance per Spectre ally. If all allies are Spectre, each crit reduces target Defense by 30% (stacking) for 1 turn. If Ezra scores 3 crits, target is Stunned for 1 turn. In Grand Arenas with all Spectre allies, each crit deals 20% bonus damage based on target's Max Health, inflicts Buff Immunity, Healing Immunity, and Offense Down for 2 turns, and reduces Daring Advance's cooldown by 1.

Unique 1 - Exile: At start of battle, Spectre allies gain Foresight and Tenacity Up for 2 turns and Ezra is Exiled for the rest of battle. If all allies are Spectre, Ezra gains 2 stacks of Resilient Defense at the start of his turn. First time each ally is Exiled, they gain 30% Critical Chance, 60% Defense, and 100% Max Health and Protection. First time each ally loses Exile, they gain 30% Critical Chance, 60% Critical Damage, Offense, Potency, and 30 Speed. When Ezra is first Exiled, enemies can't assist or attack again if targeting him. When he first loses Exile, his abilities call a random ally to assist. If all Spectre, Spectre allies have Instant Defeat Immunity while Ezra is active. Exile: Can't attack, gain buffs, or gain other positive effects on another character's turn; raid bosses and Galactic Legends instead can't gain buffs and attackers gain Crit Damage Up and Health Steal Up for 1 turn. In Grand Arenas, the first time a Spectre ally gains and loses Exile, they gain 5% Mastery per Relic level, and on losing Exile they gain an additional 30 Speed; these persist through defeat.

Unique 2 - The Force Is My Ally: Ezra has +20% Critical Chance and recovers 25% Health whenever debuffed. If all Spectre allies, Light Side allies can't have cooldowns manipulated. If all Spectre, Ezra gains 5 stacks of Purrgil Migration each ability use (max 50) and 2 stacks when dealing damage. Crits grant 5 stacks instead. At 50 stacks, Ezra gains a bonus turn and recovers 100% Max Health and Protection. The next enemy he damages with an ability is Exiled for the rest of battle, all enemies are inflicted with Ability Block for 1 turn, and Ezra loses Exile. Purrgil Migration: +1% Defense and +1% Tenacity per stack.
