Loku Kanoloa:
Summary: Loku is a damage/support hybrid and will probably be the hardest of the new heroes to play.
Set your sights is the key to most of your kit. It gives a nice damage boost to party members against a single target. As noted in another thread it’s crucially important how many recon tokens he has (I’m predicting 3 and basing analysis here off that number, if you can confirm or correct this it would be nice).
Scabiosus says that 2 is the limit of tokens This leads me to think that scout's guidance will not be good enough.
Based on the game as I know it clear minded is the worst ability on a hero card as you really don’t want to need that accuracy. This may change in the RTH campaign though.
Saving an action on picking up creates make scouting report seem good, it probably won’t use the token long so that’s a plus.
Combat spotter is hugely dependant on who is on your team. Jyn and Mak love it, Gideon and Loku appreciate it, I doubt anyone else really cares. *If Jyn or Mak is on your team it should probably be first priority.
I think Overwatch would need more available tokens to be good. I think the effect is really cool though.
Spectrum scanner looks pretty much essential for making Loku’s abilities useful against squads.
Scout’s guidance is also dependant on team comp. The heroes that want it are Fenn, Gaarkhan, Gideon, Biv and MHD. I’m not sure you can afford to place two tokens on your allies though and I don’t think it’s worth it for only one.
More health is nice and Study of enemies keeps your strain rate low. This means less rests and more attacks.
Loku’s other abilities make me much more confident about co-ordinated attack . It’s a sizeable hitting power boost.
Let’s be real, Mon Cala special forces is get cocky... I seem to remember get cocky being great.
Purchase priority: Scouting report->Spectrum scanner->Mon Cala special forces->Study of enemies->Co-ordinated attack->Overwatch->Combat spotter*->Scout's guidance.
Battle vision is blatantly amazing, it turns a buff to damage against a single target into a buff to damage against multiple targets.
