As more characters are added to SWGoH, we cannot ignore how older characters are impacted and how the game continues to evolve. Today I start the Best Mods for Luthen Rael, the prize of the most recent season of Conquest in Galaxy of Heroes. 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 Luthen Rael in SWGoH.
Here is the SWGoH explanation of Luthen Rael: “A cold-hearted Support who’s willing to use any resource necessary to further his goals.” Meant to be used separate of Galactic Legends and with Saw Gerrera and/or Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael should add another layer of complexity to the Rebel Fighter faction.
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 Luthen Rael TL;DR that I have added below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Luthen Rael in Galaxy of Heroes seems to best fit with Saw Gerrera, where he will gain the Axis bonus and summon a Rebel Trooper that will be immediately promoted to Rebel Commander, lose 70% Max Health and gain 70% Offense. As a result, Speed will help the turns come faster and a Speed set has to be in play with a base speed of 198, and Offense/CC/CD can all be considered. Potency will be needed to help debuffs stick, and when it comes to survivability, I will be interested to see if Defense and Protection secondary stat gains end up working as I think. If Luthen Rael is used with another (non-Galactic Legend) leader he will gain the Curator bonus and boost himself and Mon Mothma, thus making Speed even more important for both thanks to the TM gains.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations
As I have said many times before, the developers and I tend to agree on new characters. My initial thought with Luthen Rael was to go with Speed and Potency sets with Speed, Offense, Protection and Defense secondaries as the Rebel Trooper (who is quickly promoted to Rebel Commander) is going to be an offensive unit and will draw the enemy’s fire. I could also see the use of CC/CD mods, but for now, here is what I am recommending for the best mods for Luthen Rael:
-
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Luthen Rael, you want to use a SPEED mod here and be sure to closely look at the secondary stats to ensure that you get a heavy secondary focus on speed, offense, potency 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 Luthen Rael, you want to use a SPEED mod here with a primary focus on speed and a secondary focus on offense, potency, protection and defense.
- Processor (Diamond) – The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense. For Luthen Rael, you want to use a POTENCY mod here with a secondary focus on speed, offense, potency 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 Luthen Rael, you want to use a SPEED mod here with a primary focus on Critical Damage and a secondary focus on speed, offense, potency and protection or defense.
- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, and Luthen Rael is almost hurt by a high Health stat, so use a POTENCY mod with a Protection primary. The secondary focus stats should be speed, offense, 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 Luthen Rael, you want to use a SPEED mod here with a focus on Offense or Potency, making sure to have your mod sets complete. For the secondary stats, look to add speed, offense, potency and protection or defense.
