Wookiee

**Wookiees** are *Hero* ultra-heavy gunners. They correspond very roughly to *Villain* Super Battle Droids.

## Overview

The Wookiee is one of the strongest rebel classes due to his sheer Strength and Bowcaster weapon. While using Strength 2 or higher the Wook is immune to the effects of knockdowns and can run freely where other classes would have to walk. When combined with the Bowcaster this means the Wookiee can easily kill enemy while moving around the battlefield with freedom. The Wookiee can also be configured to be a very powerful melee opponent, using melee to quickly down down enemies with the Slap ability (Alt Attack).

### Frag Grenade

Fragmentation grenades were cheap and low-damage grenades which were used mainly by mercenaries, adventurers and bounty hunters. The grenade was similar to the thermal detonator in use, with the significant difference that the frag grenade was far less effective. These standard version of this grenade utilizes metal shrapnel when it explodes.

* **Level 1:** The Wookiee is armed with a single Frag Grenade.
* **Level 2:** The Wookiee is armed with two Frag Grenades.

The weapon has two modes of fire. Primary fire is a charged throw, with the grenade detonation on a timer. Secondary fire is a charged throw that has reduced damage and effect radius, but can be "cooked". Secondaries are used primarily to knock down foes, not for damage purposes, as it's damage rating is fairly low. Both Primary and Secondary modes are vulnerable to Force Push.

### Wookiee Health

The Wookiee race enjoys a very hardy constitution. This ability determines the HP of the Wookiee.

* **Level 1:** The Wookie has 200 HP.
* **Level 2:** The Wookie has 300 HP.
* **Level 3:** The Wookie has 400 HP.

Wookiees that do not buy any levels of Wookiee Health have 100 HP.

### Wookiee Strength

Many Wookies possess strength far beyond that of other races in the Galaxy.

* **Level 1:** Increases the Wookiee's melee strength. More damage will be dealt per hit.
* **Level 2:** The Melee Wookiee's strength is further increased. Additionally, the Wookiee becomes immune to Force Push/Pull. Speed is increased in melee.
* **Level 3:** Further increases the Wookiee's melee strength. Wookiees with level 3 are also impervious to Force Grip, and Force Lightning will not prevent a Wookie from firing his weapon. Most knockdown abilities will have no effect on a Wookie. Speed is further increased in melee.

### Other buyable items

* Point Cost: **0** - Free

### Tips

* Wookies do not enjoy the benefits of armor damage reduction bonuses to blasters. Therefore, they are only "Tanky" against attacks that deal more damage to armor, such as lightsabers.
* Gunbash can be used to stagger opponents at close range.
