Years ago I started Gaming-fans.com and started the “best mods” series of articles which turned out to be what put the site on the radar of the community and with EA Capital Games. As a member of the SWGoH GameChangers, the Website got even more attention as I attempted to expand into other areas of the game and even other games, constantly struggling to find the balance in the Force needed to do so. 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 Queen Amidala in SWGoH.
Here is the SWGoH explanation of Queen Amidala: “Queen of Naboo who will stop at nothing to protect her people, and her people will stop at nothing to protect her.” The prize of the March to May 2024 Conquest season, Queen Amidala does not initially wow me in my research of how her stats stack up against the rest of the SWGoH roster. However, deeper dives like this mods guide allow us to see that her leader ability My Place is with My People adds +20% Defense as well as +15% Max Health and Max Protection. In addition, her Loyal Bodyguard unique adds +20% Max Health and Max Protection and +10% CC & CD. This takes her survivability stats and boosts them dramatically, then with the added stacks of Queen’s Protection and her Ascension Gun special, this team will certainly be a tricky one to deal with as her survivability will be through the roof. This leadership will also make those characters used with her, Padawan Obi-Wan and Master Qui-Gon being the obvious ones, quite durable and difficult to deal with as well.
One quick note. If I am too wordy for you, as I have learned I can be a bit a bit long-winded, check out the new Best Mods for Queen Amidala TL;DR that I have added below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
It is quite clear that survivability stats are the way to go with Queen Amidala, but she also has a mass buff dispel on the enemies and a team cleanse of debuffs. The devs suggest Speed & Health sets, slightly different than my original thought for Health and Defense mod sets with high Speed, Health, Protection and Defense, but getting the key stats where you want them is the key. Getting Queen Amidala over 300 speed and both 60k health and 60k protection early should not be a problem and the h/p numbers will climb after you get past the first few Relic levels.
As a leader on one of the best teams in the Battle of Naboo Raid, I switch up my mods on Queen Amidala and go with more speed & offense with some added potency. Survivability is not a problem with her team for the most part, so you want to get as many attacks in as possible and cause as much damage as you can. Specifically, I went with a set of four Offense mods and a Health set, getting Queen Amidala near 340 speed and her Physical Offense above 8300.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations
As I have said many times before, the developers and I rarely disagree on new characters. For Queen Amidala the development team’s suggestions are Health and Speed stating that “Health and Speed mods help the Decoy protect Queen Amidala by keeping her and the Decoy in the fight longer.” Given how accurate the devs are on new characters, I have a hard time going against their recommendations and testing has proven that Speed and Health are the way to go.
