The lifeblood of Galaxy of Heroes, characters and events offer a chance for players to recapture that piece of Star Wars history, take on new puzzles and challenges, rule the arena, and anything in between. In my time on the LiveOps side of SWGoH, I balanced and/or designed 100+ characters, and 50+ events. For 2 years I acted as the primary point of contact in regards to balance within the game, designing and iterating on characters and events in order to meet business goals.
Characters
Darth Malak
As a Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Malak embodied the dark side of the force, gaining strength through passion and anger. Like a cornered beast, his ferocity was at its peak when he was inches from death.
Built on these concepts, and paying homage to his source material, Malak’s kit included Lashing out with torturous force lightning, and stealing the very life force from his enemies, he repeatedly clawed his way back from the jaws of defeat, and struck fear in the hearts of all who opposed him.
DROIDEKA
A droid built for the sole purpose of war, Droideka were a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, shielding themselves from harm, and unleashing a barrage of blaster bolts.
Capturing the fantasy of wielding one of these fierce destroyers, Droideka rolled into combat with twin blaster cannons and a deflector shield generator. In its default state, it was faster, and more evasive, but vulnerable to enemy fire.
Upon utilizing its deflector shield, its attacks packed a devastating punch, as it continuously peppered the enemy with blaster fire, and charged up to unload its entire payload on whatever was unlucky enough to be caught in its sights.
BALANCE
I’ve been responsible for balance on over 100 units in my time working on Galaxy of Heroes. This ranged from ruthless Bounty Hunters, and zealous Imperial troopers, to savage Ewoks, Rebel scum, junky Falcons and more.
Additionally, I lead the balance of over 50 events, this included Raids, Territory Battles, and all of the PVE content that was released during my 2 year tenure in a balance role.
