Welcome to another article in our series about Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes where we take a look at the best mods for individual SWGoH toons. While I do not claim to have all of the answers in this game, I do my research and have used every toon I write about extensively. These are mod recommendations based on the character’s kit and actual gameplay to help you in your quest to dominate the Galaxy of Heroes holotables.

(Spoiler Alert) The big bad of Season 3 of The Mandalorian, Moff Gideon was able to take the technology and materials of the Dark Trooper build and utilize it for himself with his own Dark Trooper suit. The prize of a 3-month Conquest series, Dark Trooper Moff Gideon is a Dark Side Tank who is also a member of the Empire and fits nicely into the Imperial Remnant faction. Let’s take a look at how we can enhance Dark Trooper Moff Gideon’s abilities with mods in SWGoH.

Main Focus: Speed once again reigns supreme. No one stat is more important in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes modding than Speed is, as it greatly impacts over 95% of all characters in this game. Even those who do not need huge Speed stats still are impacted by it, and Dark Trooper Moff Gideon is no different. The devs recommend Speed set, and I have a hard time arguing that, but his survivability stats mentioned below are vital to maximizing his effectiveness.

Additional Areas to Focus: Potency, Offense, and survivability in the forms of Health & Protection. Potency is the key to landing debuffs and removing Turn Meter and Dark Trooper Moff Gideon does both with his basic and first special ability. Offense will help him hit harder, and there is added Offense built into his Leader ability and his unique. Most important of these additional areas to focus mods on would be the survivability stats of Health and Protection. At the time of this writing, Dark Trooper Moff Gideon has the 15th highest base Health and 4th highest base Protection stat in the game. Dark Trooper Moff Gideon’s third ability recovers both, his Leader ability recovers H&P for all allies on enemy TM gains, and his unique does even more. The Dark Trooper Beskar Armor unique grants him +30% H&P and at the end of his turn he recovers 30% Protection. In addition, when the allied leader is a Dark Side Mandalorian, all Dark Side Mandalorians recover 20% Protection at the end of their turn making Dark Trooper Moff Gideon a force to be reckoned with.

In-game Mod Recommendations: Speed & Health. No disagreement here as new characters almost always have well thought-out mod recommendations by CG. Given the kit and stats I would say focus on Protection primaries from the circle, triangle and plus/cross if possible.

Ideal Mod Setup for SWGoH Dark Trooper Moff Gideon:

Dark Trooper Moff Gideon has an interesting kit that greatly enhances the Imperial Remnant faction. He has some really strong survivability base stats and Protection should be a major focus. While how you mod characters can be a bit subjective, here is my preferred mod setup for Dark Trooper Moff Gideon:

• Transmitter (Square) – Speed mod with a primary focus on offense and a secondary focus on speed, health, protection and potency, offense or defense
• Receiver (Arrow) – Health mod with a primary focus on speed and a secondary focus on health, protection, potency and offense or defense
• Processor (Diamond) – Speed mod with a primary focus on defense and a secondary focus on speed, health, protection and potency, offense or defense
• Holo-Array (Triangle) – Speed mod with a primary focus on protection and a secondary focus on speed, health, protection and potency, offense or defense
• Data-Bus (Circle) – Speed mod with a primary focus on protection and a secondary focus on speed, health, protection and potency, offense or defense
• Multiplexer (Plus) – Health mod with a primary focus on protection and a secondary focus on speed, health, protection and potency, offense or defense
