UNIT NAME: B-wing

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Attacker, Rebel

Key Attributes

Lifting Home One’s Rebel fleet to greater heights! The B-wing is most compatible with a fully non-Scoundrel Rebel fleet.
B-wing makes greater use of Home One’s strengths by reducing the capital ship’s cooldowns.
Create more chances for Rebels to deal devastating amounts of damage under Home One’s Master Plan ability.
Home One will have a new effect added to its Unique ability, Band Together, which allows the capital ship to reinforce B-wing immediately at the start of battle.

Inspiration

The B-wing first appeared in the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi as a mainstay heavy fighter for the Rebel fleet, and has been on our radar to add to Rebels ever since we added ships to the game.
The original “Blade Wing” prototype was seen in Star Wars: Rebels, flown by Hera Syndulla. Unfortunately this version of Hera in Galaxy of Heroes already has a ship so she couldn’t be the pilot of this one.
During that episode, and in the show Skeleton Crew, we saw the B-wing fire its focused laser beam to cut through the enemy ships. We knew that if we ever added B-wing to the game we would want to show off this move as part of its kit.

Strategy Tips

Reinforce B-wing quickly at the start of battle for a potent burst of damage across the entire fleet before your enemy can even make a move.
Use B-wing to assist as much as possible to reduce Home One’s cooldowns as fast as possible, giving more opportunities to use Master Plan.
Using B-wing’s Special 2, Composite-beam Laser, consecutively under Master Plan will be most effective in dealing more damage.

FAQ

How do I unlock B-Wing?: B-wing is a Marquee event starting on 10/7 at 11am Pacific. Like all our Marquees at this point, the event will give out rewards daily, so make sure you keep coming back and playing it every day.
Who is the pilot?: Since Hera Syndulla was not available, we noted that Captain Drogan was qualified on the B-wing in his service record, so we tapped him in as pilot for the ship. You will earn Captain Drogan shards during the Marquee for B-wing to ensure your new ship has a crew to fly it.
Where does this ship and fleet stand in the meta now?: B-wing under Home One, starting in reserves, is an extremely potent upgrade to that fleet. Save for the Big Three (Executor, Profundity, Leviathan), the new Home One/B-wing fleet should be performing exceptionally well against fleets of equal investment.
