SWGoH: Admiral Ackbar gets Omicron upgrade for Grand Arena

Admiral Ackbar Omicron - SWGoH

Omicron abilities are the game’s way to revitalize older characters and the newest Omicron ability upgrade in SWGoH was announced yesterday for Admiral Ackbar. The Rebel leader’s Rebel Coordination leadership ability is the recipient of the Omicron with the following text added:

While in Grand Arenas: At the start of battle, all allies gain Tenacity Up for 2 turns. If all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally’s buff expires, they gain 3% Turn Meter. In addition, if all allies are Rebel, whenever an ally uses an ability that isn’t an attack, recover all allies’ Health by 5%, call the other 2 weakest allies to assist, and reduce their cooldowns by 1.

So how will this impact the game? Obviously it will only impact the GAC, but given the importance of the Grand Arena on the game and the crystal economy for SWGoH, this could revitalize another group of lesser-used Rebels the way Mon Mothma made the Rebel Fighter faction relevant. AhnaldT101’s video on the Ackbar Omicron mentions how the value of Chirrut Imwe, Baze Malbus and Princess Leia Organa may rise as a result of this enhancement, but of course time and testing will tell.
