Savage Oppress
Savage was intended to be an extremely durable Attacker who could become a huge threat when he found the opportunity to finish off a low-Health enemy, but his less-than-stellar base damage and relatively unreliable Special ability made that difficult. This update should make Savage a much more threatening foe on both accounts.
- Unique ability now also grants Offense Up for 1 turn when receiving damage.
- Special ability now deals massive damage and can't be Evaded when used against enemies at 25% Health or less
Yea just read them sounds good
Yes. His especial will do "massive damage" and is going to be unavoidable when tsrget is 25% health or less.
About the OP: there is a difference between being bad in Arena, and being bad in the game, there is more than Arena in the game. Barris is not great in Arena but is one of the best ones in GW. Chewie is good in GW too. Daka is great in DS missions. I love how Teebo and Fives make tank challenge a joke ven with a small investment, so does URrorrRruh with the Opress challenge. Ashoka might not kill anyone in arena, but I'm happy to have her for Yoda's event. Not all chars have to be good in Arena.
Maybe. It depends on their terrible wording. I mean if it just does 'massive damage' to the toons under 25% it really isn't going to make a ton of difference since his current special can almost always finish off toons under 25%. Just the Bariss/Savages tanky toons of the world with enough of a HP pool to resist his current damage set when he pops off his special. He has more than enough to finish off the Sid/Lumi/Luke/IGs of the world at 25%.
If it does massive damage period and the only caveat is 25% health toons can't evade then that make a big difference.
Summary:
Awesome!
- Special ability now deals massive damage
- Special ability can't be Evaded when used against enemies at 25% Health or less

Poor grammar is poor.
Discovering a characters abilities is never truly useless because there is always a team you can put them in to get the most out of their abilities
A strong AOE/Counter team should ensure you get a choice of low hp characters to finish with savage.
The problem (as the forum post explained) was that his damage output was far too low. You could pair him with poggle temporarily to give him his offense up boost he needs.
I don't think they are so cruel that they play the grammar game and make us fall for it. From the update notes, it seems that they genuinely want to make him a good attacker, plus they gave him offense up when he is hit. So I trust he will be able to do enough damage to be useful in the arena
In all seriousness what past history leads you to trust them?
They emphasize that his role is to clean up nearly dead toons. The rock/paper/scissors model they have used with other high damage AoE toons (Darth Maul, IG-88) is low health, slow, and high damage when meeting specific criteria (Jedi for Maul and dotted enemies for 88). It is unlikely that they would let Savage have similar 'massive' damage without any caveats particularly since he has a fairly large HP pool.
Since they emphasize his role of cleaning up I'm going to go with the expectation that his massive damage occurs when people are at 25%. And depending on massive damage that might mean he can clean up even Bariss when she's at 25%. Which is cool. But 'massive' is an eye-of-the-beholder adjective so maybe it's 5k crit versus the IG-88 7k crit.
For my own sake I hope you are wrong cause I just unlocked him lol
It Cleary is stated that the special ability deals massive damage even when the enemy is over 25%, it's just that it now can't be evaded uNader 25% leading to a finishing blow always
Exactly. Id just feel depressed spending hundreds and hundreds lol like whats the point youre not winning youre basically cheating your way to the top. Microtransaction games should be illegal, i would have rather paid 25$ for a completed version of this game
But the character on the receiving end has to be at 25% or less
