The prize of Conquest seasons 10-12, Boba Fett, Scion of Jango is set to be unlocked by many players for the first time today, and with this impactful character joining the game just before a new Territory War begins, it seems like the perfect time to review which Omicron abilities to upgrade first. We have already reviewed the best mods for Boba Fett Scion of Jango in SWGoH, but now it is time to review how his abilities will impact the game.

To start, Boba Fett SoJ has 3 Omicron abilities, all of which impact Territory Wars and only Territory Wars. The Omicron upgrades are attached to the following three abilities:

• Dual Barrage (Special) – Omicron text adds: “While in Territory War: This ability gains a new benefit based on the number of stacks of Momentum Boba Fett, Scion of Jango has.
  – 16 Stacks: All Bounty Hunter or Scoundrel allies gain Tenacity Up for 3 turns and inflict Protection Disruption for 2 turns, and these effects can’t be dispelled, evaded or resisted
  Protection Disruption: Protection is disabled, immune to Protection Up and bonus Protection”
• Dangerous Reputation (Leader) – Omicron text adds: “While in Territory War: Bounty Hunter or Scoundrel allies have +30 Speed, +50% Mastery, +30% Potency, Max Health, and Max Protection and take 18% less damage.
  Boba Fett, Scion of Jango gains an additional 60 Speed, and 100% Max Health, and Max Protection. Contract requirements and rewards are adjusted as follows:
  Contract: While buffed, damage a debuffed enemy 10 times. Enemies must be debuffed before the start of an attack to count progress. (Only Bounty Hunter or Scoundrel allies can contribute to the Contract.)
  Reward: All Bounty Hunter allies have their payouts activated, and all Bounty Hunter or Scoundrel allies gain 25% Offense and Health Steal, ignore Taunt and each time they deal damage with an ability, they deal damage an additional time as true damage.”
• Fett Legacy (Unique) – Omicron text adds: “While in Territory War: Boba Fett is immune to enemy Ability Block and Stun, and whenever he defeats an enemy, he recovers 100% Protection and gains Bounty Hunter’s Resolve until he’s defeated. Double Action, Dual Barrage, and Bounty Breaker generate an additional stack of Momentum when used. Bounty Breaker’s debuffs can’t be be resisted or dispelled.”

Which Omicron do I place on Boba Fett, Scion of Jango first?

Of course this depends on how you plan to use him. For example the decision is different for me as I will unlock him and place 2 Omicrons on him right away. However, here is what I am doing.

For Boba Fett SoJ’s leadership, you do not get the “While in Territory War: Bounty Hunter or Scoundrel allies have +30 Speed, +50% Mastery, +30% Potency, Max Health, and Max Protection and take 18% less damage” without the Omicron. If the plan is to use him as a leader, this is going to be critical in my opinion and is my top choice.

Second on this list is the Fett Legacy unique. I feel that the immunity to the Ability Block and Stun debuffs will make Boba Fett, Scion of Jango much harder to deal with. The always reliable JMLS/JKLS duo cannot block him or stun him so right away he is far more dangerous.

The third and final Omicron I will use on Boba Fett SoJ will be on his Dual Barrage special attack. This is much more situational and the other two are not; therefore I am choosing to play the odds here and ignore the ability that may or may not be triggered in battle in favor of the two that can impact every battle.

So there you have, my priority list for Boba Fett, Scion of Jango. Disagree? Tell me what you think in the comments or Tweet us @GamingFansDFN and tell me why you disagree.
