Now that we have all of the details on what stats will be impacted and what factions and characters will gain the most from this set of datacrons, what are the BEST datacrons from Set 17 that everyone will be playing the RNG to get?
Best Datacrons from Set 17:
- Death Trooper (Peridea) – Already a good character and currently available at high levels and stars for Pay to Play gamers in SWGoH, Death Trooper (Peridea) gets a lot of bonuses based on landing a critical hit. Add a ton of CC and this datacron and you’ll get the best version of DTP available.
- Plo Koon & Eeth Koth – I put them both here as both have very good Datacrons, at least on paper. Both are heavy on text and EK actually helps his allies significantly. The big difference in these characters is that Eeth Koth has just over zero value in SWGoH and Plo Koon has a solid ship that is needed with the Negotiator. I will personally be trying to get the Plo Koon Datacron as I have had him at Relic 5 for years
- Pao – This Datacron may be the best of them all as it looks like a game changer. Additional “massive” damage when he assists, an AoE Shock and +100% Max Health and Max Protection for all allies are fantastic, and there is more to it than that!
- Moff Gideon – Gained stacks of Insight will make Moff Gideon take turns time and time again, plus his AoE will do “massive” damage. These boosts should put Moff Gideon up next to Pao as the best datacrons in this set.
