Mod Recommendations

= Unusual mod characters = These characters require mods which you may accidentally delete in your search for speed.

= Faction recommendations =

The in-game recommendations are quite good, but they consider multiple game modes, not solely PVP, which is a focus of many players. Go with in-game unless the consensus suggests mods that may be better for pvp.

 * recommendation from expert under Padme team: GK in Padme team is definitely best with 3 def sets with 3-4 health primaries, it’s important you have his speed at the right amount though so make sure you prioritize that. (https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/hodf5j/nuanced_analysis_on_the_uses_of_defense_sets_and/fxjnctu/)
 * anti-Malak and general use modding is different. e.g. protection primaries are useful to survive malak drain: e.g. Padme mods
