Welcome to the best Dangerous Prototypes datacrons, the latest in our new series about the popular game Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes where we take a look at the best datacrons in SWGoH. As I have stated elsewhere on this site, while I do not claim to have all of the answers in this game, I do my research and, like in our Best Mods for SWGoH characters series, I try to do my research and understand the details and practical use of each of these datacrons. These are recommendations based on the possible datacrons stats and actual gameplay to help you in your quest to dominate the Galaxy of Heroes holotables.

Today’s datacron to review is the Dangerous Prototypes datacron, the 6th set of datacrons in the game’s history. Active until April 19, 2023, these dark brown datacrons are the newest addition to datacrons in SWGoH. Since they are so new, this article will be updated in the coming weeks as we gather more data and can test out the best use of this datacron.

Best Projecting Power Datacrons

• Second Sister – Second Sister, Canderous Order and Droideka have pretty much the exact same ability gains from this datacron set, but for those with a full team of Inquisitors this one feels like it is more valuable. As an end-game player I have managed just fine without a high-relic Canderous or Droideka, but the Inquisitorius faction are a must-have for endgames in SWGoH. Never before has more been held back from those without than with how this faction has been used by EA Capital Games, so having Second Sister at least Relic 5-7 seems likely with strong mods for Territory Wars, Conquest, etc. The addition of Armor Shred and then Exposes feels like this could really play well into the Inquisitorius faction and how they get going, and this will be on of the datacrons from the Dangerous Prototypes set that I seek out.
