Best Datacrons in SWGoH

Datacron Set 17 details released & the Best Datacrons from this set

Posted on August 29, 2024August 29, 2024 by ljcool110

Datacrons continue to be an important part of Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and they are here to stay – whether you like it or not. EA Capital Games has released the next set of Datacrons – Set 17 – and here is a look at what to expect.

Stat upgrades for Set 17 Datacrons:

  • Critical Avoidance %
  • Defense %
  • Critical Damage %
  • Tenacity %
  • Potency %
  • Health Steal %
  • Armor Penetration %
  • Resistance Penetration %

Factions impacted by Set 17 Datacrons:

  • Rogue One
  • Jedi
  • Nightsisters
  • Imperial Remnant

Dark Side characters with Set 17 Datacrons:

  • Asajj Ventress
  • Captain Enoch
  • Dark Trooper
  • Death Trooper (Peridea)
  • Moff Gideon
  • Morgan Elsbeth
  • Nightsister Spirit
  • Nightsister Zombie
  • Stormtrooper

Light Side characters with Set 17 Datacrons:

  • Cassian Andor
  • Eeth Koth
  • K-2S0
  • Luthen Rael
  • Master Qui-Gon
  • Pao
  • Plo Koon
  • Shaak Ti

 

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.
