The fourth Era Character in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes is here in the form of Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple), and it is time to review mods for this new Era unit. During my time with Gaming Fans I 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. While my days with Gaming Fans are well behind me, I have been writing mod guides like this one since the early days of mods when they were added to SWGoH in 2018. Fortunately, writing these mod guides continues to be a way for me to continue to enjoy Galaxy of Heroes now that I have been playing this game for over a decade. I will seek to keep the same high quality content going as I continue the “best mods in SWGoH” series today with the Best Mods for Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple).
The newest character in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is an Era Unit Marquee character who joined the game in late December 2025. Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is the post-Clone Wars version of Asajj from the Dark Disciple novel, and for the purposes of SWGoH, this Asajj is a Dark Side Attacker who fits into the Nightsister, Bounty Hunter and Unaligned Force User factions and is designed to be used with other Bounty Hunter characters. Let’s take a look at how we want to focus the mod stat gains for Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) in Galaxy of Heroes.
Note that I have learned that I get a bit wordy in these Best Mods articles, so as a result the TL;DR on mods for Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is below. Also, I added a new(er) format on the recommendations below which I hope will help make these best mods articles easier to decipher.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is the fourth Era Unit in the new cadence of new character additions in SWGoH, joining Stormtrooper Luke, IG-90 and Yoda & Chewie as we work our way to unlocking Spider Legs Maul. Used initially in the new Coliseum game mode, which limits players from using the character in any other game mode for months, Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) is a Bounty Hunter lifter/new team character who has a kit built around critical hits. At Relic 5 she has a 73.04% Physical CC, enhanced to 107.25% CC and 172.5% CD at Relic 10. As as Attacker with high crit stats, placing an offensive focus from mods is the best course of action, as I intend to use her with CC and CD sets to start. In addition to offensive stats, Potency will help “Bounty Hunter Asajj” land important debuffs and, while Speed is always helpful for Attackers and high offense characters, her Turn Meter gains from her basic will help makeup from her mediocre base Speed of 158.
When it comes to survivability, Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple) has a built in +75% Max Health and Max Protection from her Train Under Me unique. Other than that, any other survivability boosts will have to come from the Leader used on her Bounty Hunter team.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations for Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple)
The way these new Era Units are added to the game, we will not have any ability to use them for about 90 days from the start of the Era outside of the Coliseum game mode. As a result of this, it will be February 2026 before we can use “Bounty Hunter Asajj” in other areas of SWGoH, and she was released in mid-November.
