As part of the SWGoH GameChangers program, Gaming-fans.com is pleased to announce that Clone Wars era Bounty Hunter Cad Bane is set for a rework in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. A Duros male Bounty Hunter, Cad Bane specialized in fighting Jedi and was seen as the leading Bounty Hunter in the galaxy after the death of Jango Fett.
Let’s take a look at his newly revised kit and some thoughts on it below.
UNIT NAME: Cad Bane
ALIGNMENT: Dark
CATEGORIES: Bounty Hunter, Scoundrel, Support
ABILITIES:
Basic: GUN SLINGER
FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 65% chance to attack again. Inflict Accuracy Down on target enemy for 2 turns. Cad Bane gains 15% Turn Meter for each Critical Hit.
Special 1: STUN GUN (Cooldown 3)
FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy, dispel all buffs on them and Stun them for 1 turn. In addition, remove 50% Turn Meter, doubled against Jedi enemies. If the target is debuffed, remove 25% of their Max Protection (stacking). This attack can’t be Evaded.
Unique 1: FOR THE RIGHT PRICE
FINAL TEXT: Cad Bane has +30% Critical Chance and +30% Critical Damage. When Cad Bane inflicts a debuff, he recovers 5% Max Health and 5% Max Protection. When Cad Bane scores a Critical Hit, he has a 50% chance to reduce his cooldowns by 1.
Leader: CAD BANE, AT YOUR SERVICE
FINAL TEXT: Bounty Hunter allies have +100% Potency and gain Advantage for 2 turns when they inflict a debuff. When Cad Bane is in the Leader slot, and not the Ally slot, the following Contract is active:
Contract: Inflict 20 debuffs (Only Bounty Hunter allies can contribute to the Contract.)
Reward: All enemies have -50% Tenacity for rest of the battle. All Bounty Hunter allies have their Payouts activated.
Contract: CAD BANE’S PAYOUT
FINAL TEXT: Whenever Cad Bane receives Rewards from a Contract, he also gains the following Payout. (Contracts are granted by certain Bounty Hunter Leader Abilities.)
Payout: Cad Bane has +25% Evasion. Inflict Thermal Detonator for 2 turns on attacking enemy when Cad Bane Evades, which can’t be Evaded.
Thoughts on the Cad Bane Rework
While I am happy to see Cad Bane get a rework only time will tell how good these changes will make him. Bane was my first 7-star character back in the days when I did not know what I was doing in SWGoH, long before there were GameChangers and YouTubers to help us along. While I abandoned any investment into Cad Bane from about Gear 7 until the Dark Side Territory Battles were released, I do believe that the Payout and resulting +25% Evasion will be interesting and quite helpful – similar to the Imperial TIE Fighter in the Ships mode. The new Unique will make him less squishy and he should hit harder, but I cannot help thinking this rework simply made a bad character average. Again, time will tell.
