Era of Myths & Legends - Stormtrooper (Concept)
Stormtrooper (Concept) is revealed as a new Dark Side Tank with the Empire and Imperial Trooper tags, part of the Era of Myths & Legends. Inspired by Ralph McQuarrie's early A New Hope concept art, this sword-and-board Stormtrooper gives Imperial Troopers a stronger defensive footing built around Taunts, assists, and Protection recovery.
- Basic - Enforcer's Blade: Deals Physical damage to target enemy and grants Defense Up for 1 turn. If Stormtrooper (Concept) is buffed, they recover 15% Health and Protection. Per the FAQ, Defense Up is always applied on use; the recovery triggers only if they already had a buff.
- Special - Linebreaker (Cooldown 3): Deals Physical damage to target enemy, Stuns them, and Taunts for 2 turns. All Imperial Trooper allies gain Protection Up (40%) for 2 turns and recover Protection equal to 25% of Stormtrooper (Concept)'s Defense (Armor plus Suppression, calculated at time of use, so Defense Up increases the recovery). All Imperial Trooper Attacker allies gain Advantage for 2 turns.
- Unique - Alderaan Prison Security (Zeta and Omicron): If all allies are Imperial Trooper at the start of battle, Stormtrooper (Concept) Taunts for 2 turns at the start of each encounter. While Taunting they gain +50% Defense and Tenacity and deal True damage equal to 50% of their Defense to attackers (can't defeat enemies). All other Imperial Trooper allies get +30% Critical Avoidance and Defense. The first time each other Imperial Trooper ally falls below 50% Health, Stormtrooper (Concept) Taunts and that ally gains Protection Up (50%) for 2 turns. The omicron applies in Grand Arenas (both 5v5 and 3v3) when all allies are Imperial Trooper and neither squad has a Galactic Legend: attacks against Stormtrooper (Concept) grant all allies 10% Turn Meter; dispelling their Taunt triggers an undispellable 1-turn Taunt; Dazed allies dispel it and gain 25% Turn Meter; and allies with Protection who use an ability on their turn call another random ally to assist.
The kit is designed to synergize with General Veers, Admiral Piett, Range Trooper, Dark Trooper (who needs Advantage to critically hit), Iden Versio, Snowtrooper, and Snowtrooper Commander, feeding assist and Turn Meter loops while covering counterplays like Taunt dispels and Daze.
