Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Now Features The Force Awakens Characters

So Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes--that turn-based RPG for the App Store and Google Play--has recently expanded in order to celebrate the release of The Force Awakens. How so? Well, players may be able to dominate with new characters from the upcoming film, joining more than 60 others. Here's what's to be included:

Finn: Resistance Tank that keeps up the pressure with a balance of offense and defense.

Kylo Ren: Versatile First Order attacker that is capable of dodging projectiles and reuses special attacks when damaged.

Captain Phasma: A high damage leader that buffs First Order Allies.

Poe Dameron: Resistance Tank with "a Taunt that inflicts Expose for big reversals."

Rey: A risk-taker that is somewhat like a glass cannon: basically carries high damage and evasion, but is quite vulnerable to debuffs.

First Order Stormtrooper: It's a First Order Tank that uses Advantage to hinder enemies.

First Order Officer: First Order support that grants Advantage to manipulate everyone's turn meters.

First TIE Order Pilot: Another First Order attacker that actually utilizes Advantage to dish an extreme amount of damage.

Resistance Pilot: Resistance attacker that can utilize Expose, Foresight, and Turn Meter gains to surprise the enemy.

Resistance Trooper: Opportunistic Resistance attacker that deals a heavy amount of damage to debuffed enemies.

So now that we have the new characters out of the way, there's a treat for players:

Players that login to play between December 18th through December 31st will be able to get two free characters inspired by the movie: Apple users will unlock a Poe Dameron and First Order Stormtrooper, whereas Android gamers will obtain a Captain Phasma and Resistance Trooper.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is available as a free-to-play title.
