Emperor of the Galactic Empire
+3% potency and max health for ally Empire and Sith, -3% potency and evasion for enemy Rebels and Jedi. In addition Vader's leader ability is active for himself as a unique ability, Royal Guard dispels all debuffs on himself and taunts for 1 turn when he uses a special ability, Palpatine gains defense equal to 50% of Royal Guard's defense if Royal Guard is present and +50% critical avoidance if Vader is present
Crackling Doom
Shock on enemies can't be dispelled if they have another debuff that can be dispelled
This is what I would like to see in his zeta abilities, some thematic synergy with Vader and Royal Guard, but what does he really need?
Less overpowered version

Honestly he's fine as it is.
I was thinking of something to help his glaring weakness which is his health/defense.
Unique Zeta Crackling doom. For each shocked enemy, increase health and defense by 25%, and everytime crackling doom triggers drain that much damage into HP.
Pretty OP, but also easily circumvented. A shock/Stun/health block/tenacity up all counter it.
Only issue would be P3 where Palp may survive to enrage. So maybe nerf it to half values all around. 12.5% health/defense/half damage drained to HP.
Leader Zeta: in addition, -32% crit chance and crit damage to rebel and Jedi enemies. All empire/Sith allies do 20% more damage to shocked enemies.
I wanted to word it so only Vader's DoT effects could re-apply, to make it less powerful, but didn't since it is already a lot of text. Thanks for the feedback
Should be Vader's health multiplied by 1.35?
That was the goal with the suggestion, to increase his defense. I like your suggestion for his unique, increasing his health without his leader ability would make him better on his own for use in other teams
Fixes thrawns AI when EP is present.
Sounds pretty expensive for something that should be free
I like the sound of that
Please, stop asking for Empire buffs, you've had yours already
Someone took a dive in raid rewards and/or arena during the Empire pass..
Not much compared to what the sith got. And the best toon to come out of the empire pass may still be R2.
But you have still got your empire buff, it's time for you empire fanboys to stop. Give Republic some love, or maybe Separatists. Just no more Empire passes.
Not necessarily? Almost all of the ideas I've posted for characters have been for the Clone Wars, I didn't know Empire wasn't liked as much. Anyways he's going to get a level 8 zeta or omega eventually, like every other character who had their abilities stuck at level 7
It's already been said that the suggested ability would be overpowered, but I'll try and fix that
