As more characters are added to SWGoH, we cannot ignore how older characters are impacted and how the game continues to evolve. Today I take a look at an older character in Galaxy of Heroes, Jedi Aayla Secura. Years ago I launched 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 Aayla Secura in SWGoH.
Here is the SWGoH explanation of Aayla Secura: “Versatile attacker with high survivability through Dodge, Hitpoints, and self healing.” While this description may have been accurate in the early days of Galaxy of Heroes, Aayla’s only real value in the game in 2024 is as a member of a team of Galactic Republic Jedi, likely under a Kelleran Beq lead on one of the best teams in the Battle of Naboo Raid. In SWGoH, Aayla is an early FTP unlock, but she does not have a lot of use in-game. She can stun when she lands a crit and is also pretty decent under a Jedi Master Kenobi or Jedi Master Luke Skywalker lead, but there are many other Jedi who are better uses of your resources.
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 Aayla Secura TL;DR that I have added below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Aayla Secura is a Jedi and Galactic Republic member who is listed as a Support character in the game. While she has a leader ability, there isn o need to make any modding decisions based on the added Tenacity from it. When used in any game mode, Aayla’s value comes in counter attacks and crits that stun the enemy, so adding Offense and Critical Chance plus survivability are a plus. On the topic of survivability, Aayla Secura recovers Health equal to 65% of the damage dealt on her Survivor special, even if the name of said special attack is inaccurate.
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 I have also stated clearly that with older characters the devs went through and made 100+ recommendations at once, and it is clear on some that they were not thorough. Aayla Secura has Potency and Critical Chance mods as the recommendations for her character. Given her unique clearly reads that “she Stuns her target for 1 turn whenever she critically hits,” and there is no % chance of that happening, this feels a bit misplaced. Neither her basic or special inflict debuffs or remove turn meter, so the Potency recommendation is a bit baffling. Note one item – for the triangle mod I am recommending a Critical Chance focus. I NEVER recommend the CC focus here so for those with a few saved up and nobody to put it on, this is your (critical) chance!
Here is what I am recommending for the best mods for Aayla Secura:
-
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Aayla Secura, you want to use a OFFENSE mod here and be sure to closely look at the secondary stats to ensure that you get a heavy secondary focus on speed, critical chance, offense and health.
- Receiver (Arrow) – The Receiver mod can have a primary focus on several stats including speed, critical avoidance, accuracy, health, protection, defense and offense. For Aayla Secura, you want to use a or HEALTH or CC mod here with a primary focus on speed and a secondary focus on critical chance, offense and health.
- Processor (Diamond) – The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense. For Aayla Secura, you want to use a OFFENSE mod here with a secondary focus on speed, critical chance, offense and health.
- 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 Aayla Secura, you want to use a OFFENSE mod here with a primary focus on Critical Chance (see above) and a secondary focus on speed, critical chance, offense and health.
- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, and Aayla Secura benefits most from the health boost, so use a OFFENSE mod with a primary focus on health and a secondary focus on speed, critical chance, offense and health.
- Multiplexer (Plus) – The Multiplexer (plus or cross) mod can have a primary focus on potency, tenacity, health, protection, defense offense. For Aayla Secura, you want to use a HEALTH or CC mod here with a focus on Offense or Health, making sure to have your mod sets complete. For the secondary stats, look to add speed, critical chance, offense and health.
