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 Admiral Raddus, one of the key character of the Rogue One movie and an important character 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 Admiral Raddus in SWGoH.
Here is the SWGoH explanation of Admiral Raddus: “A brilliant Rebel tactician who supports his allies by buying time for them to carry out their mission.” He leads a team of Rogue One Rebels that can cause problems for a variety of teams in Galaxy of Heroes. Raddus was added in June 2022 to refresh the Rogue One faction and is the pilot of the Profundity Capital Ship. Let’s take a look at the best mods for Admiral Raddus to make him more effective on your roster to help you dominate the holotables.
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 Admiral Raddus TL;DR that I have added below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Admiral Raddus is a very fast character, checking in with a base speed of 194, so getting him to the 300+ range should not be too difficult. Whenever you face a Raddus team in the GAC or any game mode, for that matter, the strategy is all the same – kill Raddus first and quickly. Jyn Erso cannot die with Raddus active, so killing Raddus first opens up the field and then removes the chance for revives with Erso’s AoE. So when it comes to how to best mod Raddus and what mod stats to focus on, you can throw the Speed mods on another character and get strategic with Health and/or Defense mods. The secondary stats need to have some significant Speed for sure, but focusing more on mid-level Speed gains with strong Health, Protection and Defense is your best bet. Make Raddus as tanky as you can so that when the enemy is trying to kill your Admiral Raddus, you make it as hard on them as possible.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations
As I have said many times before, the developers and I almost always agree on newer characters. But in the case of Admiral Raddus, you have to look at how he is used and how important it is to keep him alive. We mention the why of it all above which is why the Speed mods are no longer the best route and survivability is the key, As a result, here is what I am recommending for the best mods for Admiral Raddus:
-
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Admiral Raddus, 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, defense and protection.
- Receiver (Arrow) – The Receiver mod can have a primary focus on several stats including speed, critical avoidance, accuracy, health, protection, defense and offense. For Admiral Raddus, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a primary focus on speed and a secondary focus on defense, protection, potency and health.
- Processor (Diamond) – The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense. For Admiral Raddus, you want to use a DEFENSE mod here with a secondary focus on speed, defense, health and protection.
- 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 Admiral Raddus, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a primary focus on Health, Protection or Defense and a secondary focus on speed, defense, protection and health.
- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, and Admiral Raddus benefits from both Health and Protection, so use a DEFENSE mod with a Health or Protection primary. The secondary focus stats should be speed, defense, health and protection.
- Multiplexer (Plus) – The Multiplexer (plus or cross) mod can have a primary focus on potency, tenacity, health, protection, defense offense. For Admiral Raddus, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a focus on Defense, Protection or Health, making sure to have your mod sets complete. For the secondary stats, look to add speed, defense, health and protection.
