As more characters are added to SWGoH, we cannot ignore how older characters are impacted and how the game continues to evolve. One of those early characters in Galaxy of Heroes is Luminara Unduli, a Jedi Master who served in The Clone Wars. As I look at the Best Mods for Luminara Unduli, not much has changed since this article was published years ago on Gaming-fans.com, but all of the characters in the game can use a refresher to ensure that players know what the “best mods” are for each of them. While my days with Gaming-fans.com are now behind me, I am working to keep building on what I saw as my strength all along – the “best mods in SWGoH” series as today I review the Best Mods for Luminara Unduli in SWGoH.
Here is the SWGoH explanation of Luminara Unduli: “Versatile attacker with ability block and powerful party heal.” Well, at least that was the character she was in the early days of SWGoH. Today, we’re just trying to figure out if the addition of Queen Amidala and a Datacron are enough to make Luminara relevant again on the holotables. A Light Side Healer, Luminara Unduli can gain Evasion Up, apply Ability Block and heal her teammates while adding a stack of Heal Over Time, a buff that immediately makes me think of Queen Amidala. With an Omicron in the GAC, she can also cleanse, gain Speed, and grant other stats/advantages from her application of a Heal Over Time to allies. But a conflict with the way she interacts with Master Qui-Gon seems to deal a heavy blow to anyone planning to use her with Queen Amidala, MQG and POW.
For her Set 15 Datacron which is in-game until September 4, 2024, she revives when killed for the first time, takes a bonus turn and gains 75% Protection Over Time. Like Heal Over Time, Protection Over Time again leads us to look at Queen Amidala.
A quick note. If I am too wordy for you, as I have learned I can be a bit a bit long-winded at times, check out the new Best Mods for Luminara Unduli TL;DR that I have added below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Looking at the base stats, Luminara is slow, has average Health, doesn’t hit very hard, but does have a high Physical Crit stat, and has low Protection, Armor and Tenacity stats. No matter the leader, it is hard to take a Bottom 10 or so character and make them highly relevant in the game. Her Health is the stat I would focus all effort on and looking at the base Speed, Tenacity and Armor, I would have to have the right kind of mod to even bother with any of those stats. Tenacity mods, because I always have a few good ones laying around, are my likely second choice after Health mods for Luminara.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations
As I have said many times before, the developers and I tend to agree on new characters. But Luminara Unduli is one of those old, overlooked character in SWGoH and the devs botched this recommendation. With Speed & Health set recommendations in-game at the time of this writing, I am being told that a character with a base Speed of just 144 is worthy of Speed mods. Nope, bad call CG. With new characters coming in at 170-200 Speed consistently, save your Speed mods for those characters to gain more of an advantage, and throw Health mods on Luminara (maybe a Tenacity set too, if you have some decent ones lying around). Here is what I am recommending for the best mods for Luminara Unduli:
-
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Luminara Unduli, you want to use a HEALTH mod here and be sure to closely look at the secondary stats to ensure that you get a heavy secondary focus on speed, health, tenacity and protection or defense.
- Receiver (Arrow) – The Receiver mod can have a primary focus on several stats including speed, critical avoidance, accuracy, health, protection, defense and offense. For Luminara Unduli, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a primary focus on speed and a secondary focus on health, potency, tenacity and protection or defense.
- Processor (Diamond) – The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense. For Luminara Unduli, you want to use a HEALTH/TENACITY mod here with a secondary focus on speed, health, tenacity and protection or defense.
- Holo-Array (Triangle) – The Holo-Array is a very specialized mod that can have a primary focus on critical chance, critical damage, health, protection, offense and defense. For Luminara Unduli, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a primary focus on Health and a secondary focus on speed, health, tenacity and protection or defense.
- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, and Luminara Unduli benefits a bit more from a high Health stat, so use a HEALTH mod with a Health primary. The secondary focus stats should be speed, health, potency and protection or defense.
- Multiplexer (Plus) – The Multiplexer (plus or cross) mod can have a primary focus on potency, tenacity, health, protection, defense offense. For Luminara Unduli, you want to use a HEALTH/TENACITY mod here with a focus on Health, making sure to have your mod sets complete. For the secondary stats, look to add speed, health, tenacity and protection or defense.
Best Mods for Luminara Unduli TL;DR
