What changes how you build them

  • Astromechs can support a full themed team after their recruitment options unlock.
  • Hawks remains mandatory for story missions, so a fully astromech squad is a skirmish build.

Specializations

Recommended Specializations

No build advice yet — deliberately

Astromechs’s kit has not been officially published. Publishing a recommended Specialization now would mean guessing, so this section stays empty until a source names their abilities. It will be filled in as soon as that happens.

What we don't know yet

The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.

  • When astromech recruitment unlocks.
  • Whether astromechs are immune to, or vulnerable to, Ion weapons.
  • Whether they can take every Specialization.
  • Whether they suffer Injuries the same way organic Operators do.
