Key Attributes:

• Willing to take a risk to help empower his allies and punish the enemies.
• Draws the attention of the enemy by stealthing his allies if there is no decoy.
• Keeping an eye out for opportunities, he rolls a chance cube that can deal Special damage based on his increased Max Health and Queen's Protection.
• He boldly supports his allies by giving defensive capabilities with his Territory War omicron.

Inspiration:

• Qui-Gon Jinn is an iconic character so we jumped at the opportunity to get another version in the game
• We chose the name Master Qui-Gon for the unit as that is how Obi-Wan referred to him in many scenes of The Phantom Menace (which directly led to us using the name Padawan Obi-Wan for the other half of the pair).
• To get through various challenges Qui-Gon leveraged gambling as an ally, so we put a nod to this when he rolls the chance cube (and influences the outcome…)
• Qui-Gon as a support for the team felt appropriate from his time protecting the Queen rather than fighting a war for her
• Poncho! (Seriously, we want alternate versions of characters to have fairly distinct looks, and this was a look from Phantom Menace that we thought would appeal to our players)

Strategy Tips:

• Try to maintain Accuracy Up to help sustain his allies.
• He will assist Jedi who attack during his turn, so pairing him with another Jedi that assists frequently will maximize his number of attacks.

FAQ:

How do we get Master Qui-Gon?
Master Qui-Gon is a marquee unit who will be available starting at 11a Pacific on Thursday May 23rd
Does he use the new, experimental, Marquee structure?
Yes, but he will require Padawan Obi-Wan for the tiers above the first one (we will have Padawan Obi-Wan available to anyone who missed him the first time around to make sure no one is locked out of the higher tiers because they can’t get Padawan Obi-Wan).
Can the Chance Cube ever come up red?
Currently No. The entire ability is balanced around the Blue result and that is the only result that can happen thanks to Qui-Gon’s Force manipulation.

UNIQUE 1: Stay Close to Me (Zeta, Omicron)

Final Text:
At the start of battle, and whenever Galactic Republic allies are Stunned, they gain Defense Up and are immune to Turn Meter Reduction for 1 turn. Whenever any other Jedi ally attacks during Master Qui-Gon's turn, he assists (once per turn). Whenever Master Qui-Gon is critically hit, all Galactic Republic allies gain 30% Protection Up for 2 turns, all Galactic Republic Attacker allies recover 10% Health, gain Advantage for 2 turns, and ally Padawan Obi-Wan gains Critical Damage Up for 2 turns. While enemies are inflicted with Tenacity Down they have -30% Critical Damage and Defense. The first time any Galactic Republic ally (excluding summons) falls below 50% Health, if the ally in the Leader slot is Galactic Republic, the Leader takes a bonus turn, dispel all debuffs on the Leader, and all Galactic Republic allies gain 25% Max Health until the end of the encounter. If the ally in the Leader slot is Queen Amidala at the start of battle, she gains 25% Turn Meter (50% if there is an active ally Padawan Obi-Wan), and Master Qui-Gon assists whenever she uses her Basic ability.

While in Territory Wars and all allies are non-Galactic Legend Galactic Republic: At the start of the encounter, all allies gain 50% Max Health (100% Max Health if the ally in the Leader slot is Queen Amidala) for the rest of the encounter, and Defense Up for 3 turns. Whenever Master Qui-Gon is critically hit, he gains Foresight and 10 Speed (stacking, max 50) for 2 turns. Whenever Master Qui-Gon is defeated all allies gain 50% Offense for 2 turns and recover 100% Protection. If the ally in the Leader slot is Galactic Republic, when they have less than 50% Health, Master Qui-gon gains 50% bonus Protection for 2 turns at the start of his turn.

If the ally in the Leader slot is Queen Amidala:
- Whenever a Galactic Republic ally attacks out of turn, they deal 50% more damage, remove 25% Turn Meter, and inflict Ability Block for 1 turn which can't be evaded on target enemy.
- Whenever Master Qui-Gon gains Legendary Battle Meditation, all non-Galactic Legend tank enemies are inflicted with Healing Immunity and Protection Disruption for 1 turn which can't be dispelled, evaded, or resisted.
