Drokkatta - Hero Review

If the heroes never got XP, Drokkatta would be the best hero. From his hero sheet to his weapon, he is the best hero right out of the gate. So in all of these builds I will be focusing on how to make this hero work at his best.

Drokkatta's best ability is Demolish. This allows him for 2 strain (but not an action) to choose a space within 3 spaces. Each figure and object on or adjacent to that space suffers 1 damage and he gets to place a rubble token on it. This ability is really good and will definitely be useful for killing stormtroopers and other low-health units. His second ability is almost as good. Dispersal Shot allows him to apply -1 damage to apply +1 surge. This will help out many of his weapons and is truly a great ability. His 13 Health is great and although the 4 endurance and 4 speed is pretty basic, he still finishes with a black die. His MGL-9 "Boomer" is the best starting weapon in the game. I'll be building off this going forward.

Build #1

This first build is going to be a basic, value build. I'll keep his MGL-9 "Boomer" because truthfully it's better then some Tier 1 weapons.Then I'll add Charging Up. This card is so good. Not only does it bump your health up to 15, but it gives you a damage power token at the end of each activation. This will make Drokkatta's attacks far more powerful. Then I'll get Structural Exploitation. This 3 XP card allows Drokatta to improve an already impressive attack and make it amazing. Best case scenario for his attack is 7 damage (5 on dice, 1 w/ Charging Up and 1 w/ Structural Exploitation), Pierce 1 and 5 accuracy (4 on dice, 1 from Structural Exploitation). For a starting weapon with a 4XP investment, this is crazy.

Totals: 4 XP

Build #2

This build is going to make Drokkatta one of the best snipers in the game. First I'll start with the DXR-6. This weapon with combo nicely with Thermal Explosives because the extra yellow die will get you plenty of surges for the DXR-6. Then I'll add Bank Shot. This allows Drokkatta to shot targets that aren't even in his line of sight. And the now automatic 7 accuracy makes this amazing.

Totals: 1000 Credits 6 XP

Build #3

Finally, this build will focus on another one of Drokkatta's specialties - Blast. First I'll get Repeater Cannon. This weapon can do pretty good damage and with Drokkatta's Dispersal Shot ability (above), you will be able to get plenty of surges. Next I'll get Shrapnel Rounds. This modification gives an automatic blast 1 to the attack it is attached to. It also allows you to pinpoint this damage instead of letting it run randomly. To add on to this weapon, I'll get Thermal Explosives. This extra yellow die will allow Drokkatta to almost guarantee that he will get plenty of blasting an activate the double surge ability. Then I'll add Charging Up just because it is such a good value card.

Totals: 10 XP

Overall, Drokkatta is versitle and quite powerful. He can play as both a light tank and a damage hero. His 13 Health and black die makes him a decent tank and his incredible damage output makes him one of the best damage heroes. Simply for his raw killing power, I highly recommend him.
