New Challenger Crate!
Hello UE Community!
We're very excited to announce that we have a new crate coming out today: The Challenger Crate! We're adding 4 new epic LTs, 5 new rare LTs, and 4 new common LTs to the crate and the game. In addition to these new LTs, we've also included 3 uncommon LTs previously unseen in the crate system!
We've thought long and hard about the impact we wanted this crate and these new LTs to have in the game, which is why we named it the Challenger Crate. One of our main goals was to bring new, refreshing competitive play to both PvP and EvE and we think that these LTs will help us accomplish that goal.
So let's take a look at the new LTs:
__________________________________________________ _________________
Sir Benedict (Epic, Shadow): X% chance to knockout the power of your opponent's right-hand LT [no clone]
Expanding on Buster's power, Sir Benedict has a chance to knockout the power of your opponent's right-hand LT when battling in both EvE and PvP. The knockout only lasts for that particular attack. Once a right-hand LT power is knocked out, any clones of or bonuses added by that knocked out power are unsuccessful and cancelled out.
Captain Drake (Epic, Cartel): Reduce opponent's attack power by X%
With his giant warship's awesome firepower, Captain Drake is great at taking out incoming attacks -- lowering prospective assailant’s attack power against you. This power works in a similar way to how Illusionist's helped against defense power.
Agent O (Epic, Mafia): On non-critical hit, do X% more damage on target
For non-critical, attack-heavy build types, we think Agent O will pack a powerful punch for you. Non-Snipers, we got your back!
Surgeon (Epic, Syndicate): +X% dodge chance; on successful dodge +Y% chance to poison attacker
Surgeon will allow players to dodge even more! When dodging in EvE, there's an added chance to apply a poison debuff to your attacker that deals 1% of max hp per token spent and lasts for 15 tokens. Similar to Strafe's armor proc ability, the chance to poison also triggers when you dodge counter-attacks. When cloning, only the dodge chance gets cloned.
Gutter (Rare, Cartel): On execute in EvE, deal X% splash damage to target row
When executing players with Gutter in EvE, you can deal a portion of that damage as splash damage to all members of that row! The power gets better with a higher execution range.
Twinkie (Rare, Cartel): X% chance to double damage against armor
Is there an annoying defender in EvE who keeps using armor packs? Equip Twinkie for a chance to double your damage on that armor. If Twinkie procs when you do damage to both armor and health in one attack, only the armor damage will be doubled. This power will work with other damage boosting/doubling LTs.
Chastity (Rare, Street): +X% bonus damage per debuff on target [no clone]
Chastity will help any player looking to add some extra damage to their attacks and will come in handy if your empire heavily utilizes debuffs. If there is no debuff on the target, then no bonus damage is applied. The damage increases by X% with each debuff applied. For example, if your opponent has 3 active debuffs, Chastity would add 15% bonus damage at only 4-stars!
Sgt Remedy (Rare, Mafia): When using a health pack, heal row by X% of amount healed [no clone]
Sgt Remedy should be a necessary LT for any serious EvE player. When the time comes to use a health pack, make sure you have her equipped. Your allies will thank you and your enemies will hate you.
Mayday (Rare, Syndicate): Decrease opponent defense by X% and add that amount to your attack
Mayday will give a huge boost to attackers looking to take out a big defender. Her power works similarly to Crimson's power.
Roxy (Common, Cartel): +X% critical chance against counter classes in bosses
With Roxy, you get an advantage against counter classes in boss fights by having a higher critical chance rate.
Niles (Common, Mafia): Add X% of Lieutenant experience gained to all seated Lieutenants
Niles will help you level multiple LTs simultaneously when gaining LT experience. Yes, your right hand also gains this bonus XP!
Hobbes (Common, Shadow): +X attack; double this bonus when seated with Locke
Hobbes has a kind of self-interested, social contract with Locke. On his own, Hobbes boosts your base attack. But once you equip Locke in any other seat, then Hobbes’ attack boost doubles!
Locke (Common, Shadow): +Y defense; double this bonus when seated with Hobbes
Similar to Hobbes, Locke increases a player's base defense. This defense bonus doubles when seated with Hobbes.

Now let's look at the additional uncommon LTs featured in the crate:
Joaquin El Sicario (Uncommon, Cartel): Decrease Energy and Stamina Timers by X Seconds
A favorite LT for a lot of our players, we wanted to give you guys an easier route to get Joaquin to 9-star that doesn't have to involve fusing him up after purchasing him from the Black Market. Use Joaquin to decrease your account's stamina and energy regeneration timers.
Fixer (Uncommon, Shadow): +X Max Energy and Yx Jobs
Great at getting things done, Fixer will benefit any player looking to decrease the time it takes to complete a job.
Envy (Uncommon, Street): +X% Clone: Right Hand Lieutenant Power [no stack]
Envy will clone a percentage of the power of your right hand LT. For example, if I have a right-hand LT that gives me +10 attack, cloning at 30% would give me an additional +3 attack.
