10. Commander Tano

The enlightened Commander Ahsoka has found the perfect balance in the force

One of my favorite characters, Ahsoka Tano finally got justice in this version. While her previous (Fulcrum) version may have been a good attacker, Commander Tano is equipped with 3 zeta abilities

Commander Tano Unique Abilities:

• Jar’Kai Master: Deal Special damage to target enemy twice. If another Galactic Republic or Scoundrel ally is present, Ahsoka gains Advantage for 3 turns.
• Shien: Ahsoka and Galactic Republic or Scoundrel ally gain Shien for 4 turns, Evasion Up for 2 turns, Ahsoka swaps Turn Meter with them and calls them to assist dealing +20% more damage. Shien Form can't be copied, dispelled, or prevented. Shien Form: Whenever this unit evades or attacks out of turn, Commander Ahsoka Tano's Force Leap cooldown is reduced by 1, and damage is increased by 50% (stacking) until the next time it is used
• Force Leap: The first time Force Leap is used during an encounter, instantly defeat the target enemy and each Light Side ally gains 35% Turn Meter. Deal Special damage to target enemy and gain Critical Damage Up for 3 turns. Reduce this ability's cooldown by 4. If Commander Ahsoka Tano has Shien, inflict Armor Shred until the end of the encounter. Force Leap on Raid Bosses: Call all other Galactic Republic allies to assist, dealing 10% more damage. This ability starts on cooldown and can't be evaded.

9. Darth Malak

Powered through fear and hate, Darth Malak is one of the strongest Sith to ever walk

One of the strongest Dark side characters in-game, Darth Malak should be teamed up with other Sith such as Darth Sion, Darth Traya, or Sith Eternal Emperor. 

Darth Malak Unique Abilities:

• Rend: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and inflict Tenacity Down for 2 turns.
• Torture: Deal Physical damage to target enemy, dispel all buffs on them, and Shock them for 2 turns. If the target already had Shock or Fear, Stun them for 2 turns.

Then, recover Health equal to the damage dealt. This ability can't be countered or evaded and starts on cooldown. Dark Infusion: +35% Offense per stack (max 3 stacks). At max stacks, these bonuses are doubled and Basic attacks also inflict Healing Immunity for 2 turns.

8. Jedi Knight Revan

A conflicted force-use, Revan proves to be a leader in both the Light and Dark sides.

This Jedi should be teamed up with Galactic Legends or Old Republic allies for maximum effectiveness.

Jedi Knight Revan Unique Abilities:

• Ferocious Charge: Deal Special damage to target enemy. This attack deals 25% more damage to Dark Side enemies. If the target is Marked, Revan gains a 20% Turn Meter.

• General: For each Jedi and each Old Republic ally at the start of battle (excluding summoned allies), Jedi and Old Republic allies gain +5 Speed, +5% Crit Chance and +5% Offense. At the start of battle, Jedi allies gain Tenacity Up for 1 turn. While Revan is in the leader slot and not the ally slot, units are immune to bonus Turn Meter effects from Leader abilities until the start of the first turn of battle.
• Whenever a Jedi ally attacks out of turn, they recover 20% of their Max Protection and deal 35% more damage. When a Jedi ally uses a Basic ability on an enemy with Bonus Protection, reduce the target enemy's Max Health by 10% (stacking, doesn't work against Raid Bosses). At the start of each Jedi ally's turn, they gain Strategic Advantage if no ally has Strategic Advantage. A Jedi ally with Strategic Advantage can't be countered.
• Strategic Advantage: Dispel all debuffs on target other Jedi ally. They gain Strategic Advantage and assist, using their Basic ability. This character uses their Basic ability and loses Strategic Advantage.

7. Darth Revan

He lays a path of destruction in his wake

Darth Revan is a fan favorite. This Dark side user works best when paired with Bastilla Shan (Fallen) and other Sith.

Darth Revan Unique Abilities:

• Lacerate: Deal Special damage to target enemy. Inflict Buff Immunity on a target enemy and enemy leader for 2 turns. If the target is the leader, reduce Darth Revan's cooldowns by 1.

At the end of each turn, if an enemy fell below 50% Health during that turn, inflict Deathmark on the enemy leader for 1 turn if Darth Revan is in the leader slot and not the ally slot. This Deathmark can't be copied, dispelled, evaded, or resisted

6. Lord Vader

"From my point of view, the Jedi are evil..."

Before he donned his cybernetic suit, Lord Vader still possessed the speed which made him notorious throughout the Galaxy. One of the recently introduced characters this past year, Lord Vader was reworked and now possesses better synergy with Sith and Empire counterparts.

Lord Vader Unique Abilities:

• End of the Galactic Republic: Requires at least 65% Ultimate Charge to activate. Ultimate Charge: Lord Vader gains Ultimate Charge when he uses Dark Harbinger and when debuffed Dark Side allies receive damage he gains 2% Ultimate Charge, increased to 3% if that ally was an Unaligned Force User. Lord Vader gains 50% of other Dark Side allies' current Mastery (stacking) until the end of the encounter, then they lose that much. Empire and Dark Side Unaligned Force User allies don't lose Mastery from this ability.

At the start of the battle, other Empire and Dark Side Unaligned Force User allies lose all Protection and gain that much Max Health. If a Dark Side Unaligned Force User ally was present at the start of the battle, for the rest of the battle all Empire or Dark Side Unaligned Force User allies take 30% reduced damage from enemy Light Side Unaligned Force User attacks. If all allies are Dark Side at the start of battle, Empire and Dark Side Unaligned Force User allies are immune to Fear, Empire Tanks gain Taunt for 2 turns, and when an Empire ally loses Taunt, they are inflicted with Marked for 1 turn, which can't be dispelled, prevented, or resisted. Whenever a Dark Side ally loses a buff, Empire and Dark Side Unaligned Force User allies gain 1% Mastery (stacking) until the end of the encounter.

5. Jedi Master Kenobi

Hello there!

Introduced last year (2021), Jedi Master Kenobi has quickly become one of the strongest characters in Galaxy of Heroes. Paired with the right Light side team, he has potentially the strongest of all leadership abilities.

Dispel all debuffs on Light Side allies. All other Light Side allies gain a percentage of Mastery (stacking) equal to the amount of Ultimate Charge used with this ability, doubled at 100% Ultimate Charge, until the end of the encounter. If less than 100% Ultimate Charge was used, Jedi Master Kenobi gains the High Ground buff for 2 turns, which can't be copied, dispelled, or prevented.

At the start of battle if all allies are Light Side, Galactic Republic allies can't be Critically Hit while they have Protection Up, Galactic Republic Tanks gain Taunt for 2 turns at the start of each encounter if they did not have it, and when they lose Taunt they gain it for 2 turns if they have Protection but did not have Taunt.

Whenever another Light Side ally uses a Basic ability, Jedi Master Kenobi gains 3% Ultimate Charge, doubled if it was during their turn. Jedi allies' Armor Penetration is doubled when targeting a Sith enemy. Enemies and allies are immune to Turn Meter manipulation (excludes raid bosses).
• May the Force Be With You: Jedi Master Kenobi ignores Taunt during his turn. While Jedi Master Kenobi has the High Ground, he dispels Stealth from all enemies at the start of his turn. When another Light Side ally targets Jedi Master Kenobi with an ability, dispel all debuffs on him and he gains Mastery (stacking) equal to 10% of their current Mastery for the rest of the encounter. When Jedi Master Kenobi targets another Galactic Republic or Light Side Unaligned Force User ally with an ability, dispel all debuffs on them and they gain Mastery (stacking) equal to 20% of his current Mastery for the rest of the encounter. These effects can't be triggered by granted abilities and the Mastery gain will only trigger if the user has more than 0 Mastery. When a Galactic Republic ally attacks out of turn, all Galactic Republic allies recover 2% Health and Protection and call the weakest other Light Side ally to assist dealing 20% less damage (limit once per turn).
