UNIT NAME: Jedi Knight Cal Kestis

ALIGNMENT: Light Side

CATEGORIES: Attacker, Leader, Jedi

Key Attributes:

Jedi Knight Cal Kestis has a very unique playstyle, different yet familiar from the rest of the roster of characters in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.

On Cal’s turn he only has access to his Basic ability. His three Specials are Ability Blocked. Once you use the Basic, Cal will unblock these abilities, temporarily remove his Basic ability, and give himself an immediate Bonus Turn.

You will then use one of the abilities based on the lightsaber configurations seen in Jedi: Survivor: Dual Wield, Double-bladed, or (eventually) Crossguard. Each of these will grant Cal an effect that reflects the different aspects of those configurations. After that, Cal will have his Basic returned to him, and the Specials will once more be Ability Blocked. Rinse and repeat.

• Will be powerful in Territory Battles - ARMOR SHREDDDDDD  
• Strong Jedi Synergy 
• Dispels buffs on basic attack, hands out Buffs to teammates like candy
• Impetuous Assault (the Crossguard Special ability) will Instantly Defeat the enemy

Inspiration:

• We wanted the ultimate reward for playing through our homage to Jedi: Fallen Order to be the version of Cal that we see at the start of Jedi: Survivor.
• We were able to squeeze in four of the five stances Cal has in Survivor into the abilities.
• We used the term “configuration” instead of stances because Cal does not switch modes, but gains an effect based on which ability he uses.

Strategy Tips:

• JKCK slaps as leader in Territory Battles
• Learning how to alternate your Specials Whirlwind Slam and Windmill Defense will benefit you greatly
• Special 2 has the ability to provide a bonus turn for Jedi characters
