Trick

Overview

Trick, formerly designated CT-3301, is a clone trooper with Jango Fett lineage and one of Zero Company’s founding members. He is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who has voiced clone troopers across Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and other Star Wars productions.

A consummate soldier who loves games of chance, Trick served under Hawks in the Republic military. He was injured saving his commanding officer, Captain Hawks, from a Separatist attack on Antine. Trick made a full recovery, but was declared unfit for military service and chose to join Hawks as one of the first operators in Zero Company. He is described as a soldier whose “laconic wit masks a haunted heart,” suggesting a character carrying psychological weight from the Clone Wars despite an outwardly dry personality. EA adds that he is loyal to his friends and to the Republic, despite the discharge.

Trick’s history as a clone trooper puts him in direct tension with Luco Bronc, the Umbaran sharpshooter. The planet of Umbara was a brutal guerrilla campaign for the Republic during the Clone Wars, and that bad blood between a clone soldier and an Umbaran veteran is a confirmed source of squad friction.

Combat

Trick functions in a combat role consistent with heavy or ranged support. In the PC Gamer hands-on preview, Trick was observed using a rocket attack and following up with a heavy blaster salvo in the same turn, demonstrating how the Advantage meter enables ability chains that bypass normal AP costs.

Gameplay footage of a power station mission shows Trick carrying a Repeater and firing Fire Repeating Blaster: a Final Action that consumes all remaining AP, dealing Blaster Damage plus additional Rapid Fire Damage based on the AP consumed, listed at 22 damage for 3 AP. See Weapons.

His unique talent is For My Brothers: Trick can withstand being Downed and automatically revives during the next turn, with upgrades improving the health recovered and his injury resistance. The talent softens, but does not remove, his exposure to permadeath. See Classes for the full authored talent list, and Talents for the rank values.

Antine

Antine is the site of the Separatist attack where Trick was wounded saving Hawks. It is named only in EA’s operator biography for Trick and has no page of its own here yet.

Commando Armour

Late in the campaign Trick unlocks Commando armour, which carries the game’s fourth exotic Specialization. Unlike the other three exotics it does not restrict him: he keeps both Specialization slots and can still take any standard class in either.

The unlock brings Clone Armor Training (+2 Defense), the For My Brothers passive (once per mission, being downed revives him the following turn, at higher ranks on full health and without an Injury), and the DC-17M Weapon System.

The DC-17M is an Assault-class weapon exclusive to him: 16 Weapon Damage, +8 Critical Hit Damage, 37% Critical Chance, Medium range, 22 Melee Damage. It cannot be upgraded or modified, and switches between an anti-armour grenade shot, a Longarm configuration, and a repeating mode that spends all remaining AP.

Permadeath

Despite being a named story character, Trick is subject to the game’s permadeath mechanic. Official materials confirm that every story squadmate, not just generic recruits, can die permanently, and the narrative will continue without them.

Hero Mission and Operations

Trick’s thread through the campaign runs back to the unit he and Hawks served in. His one Hero Mission, No Clone Left Behind, sends the squad to Ryloth to rescue Sergeant Sawtooth, a former member of the 100th Clone Company, from the Separatists. It stays on the HoloTable for three Cycles.

He also brings three Companion Operations:

Contact Sawtooth follows the same distress call as the Hero Mission. Trick’s Tricks has him giving other Operators additional training. Weak Spot is shared with Luco Bronc, the only Companion Operation in the game that belongs to two Operators, and turns on a secret Imperial black site located on Umbara.
