Anyone else want to see the FO Praetorian Guard added?
Feedback / SuggestionI mean, you basically just described 90% of trooper variants.
They could also be used in a FO team or (idk if that's spoilery but I flagged it anyway)
Mando praetorians have completely different design based on standard stormtrooper armor
Some might call the preraetorians
Its even more wild that that we have multiple Reys and Kylos instead of this dude or GL Slavemaster Watto. Literally unplayable.
I think a cool way to introduce them is to make them kind of work like the B1, but less stacks and more defense. You defeat one Praetorian, another takes its place but has a different look and slightly different fighting style. Then they could work as an SLKR lifter.
Yess love this idea! Or they could have a damage scalar that increases with the % of missing health/protection of the unit in the leader slot!
First ones a tank, kill him and DPS appears, kill him and support version appears, etc!
Would be an awesome concept!!!
Great idea!
Personally, I would rather have the first one be a support to get the ball rolling. The second one would be a tank because by then, your other tank will probably be low or in danger, then the last would be the attacker version
That is actually a decent fit for a Knights of Ren idea too. But either works.
I doubt CG would put this much effort into such a "generic" unit when they didn't even give JK Cal Kestis (a legendary unit) different stances, rather than just different status icons.
Maybe dark trooper is a better choice, but love the idea
Im probably being pedantic. But I wouldn’t want them to be a SLKR lifter. Kylo and Rey kills them all. I know being 100% true to lord isn’t the most important thing. I wonder if they aren’t in the game because they don’t really have a team?
Also SLKR doesn't really need a lifter. He's still a very solid GL.
Knights of ren?
So more like the dark trooper then.
I briefly forgot that the Dark Trooper has a reinforcement type ability as well.
Am I right in thinking there isn’t a character that uses this mechanic that’s a tank? I think that could be great!
I think every organizational faction should have this feature, since the rebels, empire, galactic republic, separatists, resistance, and first order all had their fair share of nameless cannon fodder. It appears separatists (B1), empire (Dark Trooper), and rebels (Mon Mothma can call an ally) already have theirs. So we need a clone battalion, maybe give the Resistance Trooper an additional unique since he’s pretty weak already, and make the FO Praetorians similar to Dark Trooper, as in they pack a good punch but can be taken out without too much fuss.
While we’re at it, we need more Neutrals! I had an idea for Medical Droid (no dps, provides weak heals and/or revives to all non-droid team members), Gonk (no dps, provide protection up for all droid team members), and the Max Rebo Band/Figrin D’an and the Modal Tones band, which would provide buffs/debuffs depending on how many synergizing members you’ve got. There’s so many opportunities out there, get on it CG!!

It REALLY annoys me when I play events and see really cool trooper units, like they’ve got the abilities and models and animations please just add them for us haha
I would love to see PG, Snoke, and Knights of Ren added in. Knights can be their own team (Like Inquisitors or Bad Batch) and PG + Snoke could be lifters for SLKR, or have 4 PG's with Snoke for their own team.
Would also be cool if some of the Resistance TV show characters where added, captain prye , Elrik vonreg, Lt galek and Jace rucklin. So that they added to the slkr, but also made a FO official class, FO pilot and FO trooper and this could even be made into groups just with existing tag combinations; FO& non leader, FO& pilot- like how imp troops
Let’s hope not, that was a garbage show that I hope will be forgotten soon
Well the kor really did so much to warrant characters, so who else comes in to boost slkr, maybe general pryde, who’s only real ability would be to kill hux mid battle
Like someone else already said, SLKR doesn't even need a lifter or "boost". GLs are op enough, even get rotating datacrons, and most players don't really want "unbeatable" teams.
A lot of other GLs have had toons that have released after often in the form of conquest. The oldest have seemed to be the most forgotten in this regard
And my point remains, it was never necessary for every GL. If a team is already viable enough, there' no need to boost it further. Rey would not have needed a lifter either and now with the datacron, my whole guild has started to hate her.
Knights of ren obviously
It was a fun show, still the worst of the animated shows but fun.
I gave it a chance but had expected much more from it, since Filoni was part of the making. But it's a good example for the difference when it comes to kid's shows: contrary to stuff like TCW or Rebels which can also be enjoyed by older viewers, Resistance seemed to really be made for toddlers and small children only. No hidden humour, no subtle Easter Eggs or hints to other events in space history, and no real impact storywise.
To add to this; there’s a total of 8 praetorian guards made up of 4 pairs (with the same weapons), so we could easily get 4 unique praetorian guards - and then of course we can get Snoke to be the leader! I think a great ability concept would be that Snoke is immune to damage until all praetorian guards have been killed. Snoke cannot attack, but calls guards to attack instead.
Opposite, snoke is there as the glass cannon leader, taunts of the bat, and gives a huge increase to crit chance, tenacity and potency to the praetorians, that way it’s reflective of the films. But as a way around it make it as though if snoke isn’t first damaged then only half effects come in
I think having Snoke not able to attack would be a waste. Snoke throws lightning at Kylo and also tortures Rey with the force in TLJ.
Okay granted, he should attack BUT he should be sat in a throne as a part of his character model
These nameless guys like FO Executioner always have the coolest weapons, Whip Dude would be awesome.
You said the word, so...
Stir Whip Stir Whip, Whip Whip Stir BEAT! ;D
I think given the nature in which they appear in both projects that they appeared in, there is some interesting potential in them. Both for Imp Remnant or FO tags. As well as how they could be treated as a character. Given that we have about 9 variations (at least) of the Praetorians given their wildly different appearances and weapons, they could be treated as a summon that you could maybe then pick between. Or have SWGOHs first attempt at a toon that you can customise the appearance and weaponry of.
However, that cost of making them interesting as opposed to making multiple characters all with near identical kits, I suspect, would necessitate some wild design changes. Either by making selections of a summon or multiple summons a possibility. Or implementing customisation elements. Quite frankly, idk what is best, and they cynical side of me thinks that as a result, they just won't ever be seen.
One other addendum is that I did see mention of them being treated a la the Inquisitors, the issue there I think is that it's a LOT of characters with very little backstory (which isn't exactly a huge issue for Star Wars, swgoh has plenty of Glup Shittos) to then justify a number of again, likely not very unique kits.
They'd need to have some weird abilities. Something to cover : after seeing The Supreme Leader bisected to death, start fighting ferociously to protect The Supreme Leader against the person most likely to become the next Supreme Leader and his apparent ally? Just weird.
Prolly end up as a Snoke lifter or at minimum an unlock requirement. Would be pretty dope to see him in game tho.
Doing what? Boviating and then dying pointlessly?
They could have a special ability called "Disappearing Dagger" which disarms and prevents them landing a killing blow. They also have a passive of, "Bested by novice" which buffs any enemy with less stars and lower level.
Honestly, I’m surprised that it’s been so long since a new First Order character has been added to the game. The faction hasn’t had a new character since Supreme Leader Kylo Ren.
Yeah that would be really cool, but then they would probably also have to add snoke. I think a cool mechanic for this would be like the dark trooper stacks, but each of the 4 stacks has the 4 different weapons that they wield.
I want to see them, Snoke (as a journey toon, not Conquest), and Babu Frik added.
With Snoke!
YES AND WE NEED SNOKE.
I actually have a list for viable FO characters
FO Snowtrooper
FO Jet trooper
FO Flametrooper
General Pryde
Snoke(he can work like hermit Yoda imo)
That golden armor stormtrooper guy
BB9E
And Praetorians of course
Don’t they miss like 90% of their attacks?
So do Storm Troopers
Lol no, they sucked
In TLJ it ended up being Kylo and Rey vs 2 Praetorians and the both ended up losing to the praetorians in combat and then being held in headlocks until Rey did some Arya stark shit with her lightsaber and then helped Kylo kill the last one so I’d say they’re pretty decent actually! Skip to 1:45:00 if you want to watch it again! :)
And that was sooooo stupid, haha! Also I can't think of that scene without thinking of all the "If Force Heal had been possible..." memes^^
Lol no, why would I subject myself to that torture again?.
Not only they couldn't protect their boss, they lost to a person without training, in a 6v2 environment, and that person was even far superior to the actually trained guy that even saved his life.
They suck.
They should make a passive skill called disappearing dagger, where they will randomly missing an attack whenever Rey is on the opposing team.
Could finally be a slkr lifter
kind of
I like them added as not only a SLKR lifter, but a tank that can replace KRU since he ends up going to Cere
Also the flame and jet troopers
I think they’d be interesting, and could be the requirements for Snoke
It’d be funny if they were a good counter to Rey and Ben.
I want a lot of shit from the movies that they refuse to put out.
Snoke wen
I can imagine them being added but not really for FO but as their own. A bit like what inquisitors are to empire.
By the way, I actually have that book 😁 (Star Wars The Last Jedi The Visual Dictionary)
No, because it’ll just remind me how awfully choreographed that sequence was.
At this point any new FO character is welcome
Yeah pretty surprising when you consider they were the centerpiece of a major part of TLJ as well as Mando season 3
I’m also surprised we haven’t gotten the guards from the last Jedi or smoke who should be the lifter for slkr
I kinda love the FO as it is, its kinda the perfect faction with its 11 characters.
Same with resistance.
Some factions are just perfect as they are with regard to characters teams.
Possibly with Snoke as the character you acquire for getting these guys. I’ve thought for a while that would make sense.
Supreme leader Kylo booster
It’ll be the SLKR booster toon only obtainable in Conquest.
Their basic ability can be uncontrollable spinning with a 50% chance to deal damage
Not enough FO tank?
Yes
Heck yeah
SLKR lifter
For sure! These guys are sick, having a few different designs of em in game would be amazing to see, but I doubt it, if anything we’d just get the one 😭 hopefully we see them in game though
not really, no
I'd love these fellas or knights of ren in the game
Honestly since they’ve appeared in Mando now, I’m surprised they haven’t been added. Imo, I think they should be a weaker Jedi Cal, where they have the weapon variations. Maybe a tank instead of an attacker? Tags would probably be First Order and Imperial Remnant.
I'd rather see some Andor updates and there's a second and final season coming for tie-in. Luthan Rael and his Fondor Holcraft (ok I looked that up, but it's a total badass ship with multiple surprises). B2EMO would be a needed light side droid. We're going to need an empath droid to cope with Jar Jar. Those two characters and ship are a must. You have some secondary possibilities if they want to round out an Andor category. Syril, Dedra, Major Partgraz (also ties into Imperial Remnant) on the dark side and Brasso, Bix and Kino Loy and some rebel fighters - Vel, Arvel and Kariss.
And then there's Hotty Hati from Ashoka, Baylen, Morgan Elsbeth, not to mention they need to rework Hera after Mrs Kenobi's portrayal.
Personal answer: no. We should be done with FO content and concentrate on the stuff that comes from the newer series. Still waiting for some characters from the Andor series.
He’s gonna be a Snoke (Snoak?) lifter unit
God no. The less of those films we have in the game the better.
they were utterly forgettable, and got clowned in the one scene they had major screen time in, so no, not really
I mean, they were fighting two GLs at once. There’s a reason CG doesn’t let us do that in game.
you say that like normal stormtroopers also arent clowns in every scene they are in.
Normal stormtroopers.
These guys were extremely trained specifically to kill force users, with anti lightsaber armor, and they lost to one without training.
Wait, the nameless bad guys didn’t win against the heroes in the middle movie of a trilogy‽‽ 😱😱
Would be a cool SLKR lifter. Maybe help him last a little longer so he can ramp more.
There's a whole lot of FO characters they're just sidelining. They couldn't come any sooner.
I mean it’s crazy we don’t even have snoke yet the initial leader of the first order and everytime i bring that up everyone calls me crazy
It honestly makes me sad how Snoke was completely sidelined, he had SO much potential to provide a new story other than the good guys Vs Palpatine’s Puppet
If I’m being honest, not really. To me they are like a shitty discount version of OG redguards. And I’ve always thought their armor looks kinda dumb
I wouldn’t get your hopes up, OP. Since no new movies are being made that would be set in that era (to my knowledge) and given the level to witch that fight in TLJ has been torn to shreds, I doubt we’d get this.
Meh.
Everything from 7/8/9 is completely uninteresting

It's *wild* that they don't have this unique toon and yet we have a red reskinned standard trooper that was in the background for it's whole appearance.
