Plo Koon

el_wizard_E

has anyone concidered using him as a leader in arena against zmaul,? he gives allies a 55% chance to remove stealth and grants offense up when they do so, that sounds pretty good concidering that sith like to go stealth for most of the match,
and on the plus side he dispells debuffs with his basic attack, and grants tm
he seems like a pretty good character to counter zmaul,
doesnt he,?

It was considered a while ago, but wasn't found to be viable, considering the loss of other possible leader abilities.

Zaul is on the decline.

But Plo Koon leadership never became popular, because when stealth is dispelled it will still give Sith advantage (and since you aren't running Rex leadership you won't get turn meter from critical hits) and dispelling stealth also allows Sith to gain it (along with 20% turn meter) again. So it was never that great against Sith. An ability that prevents stealth in the first place would be better than one that dispels it.

B2 works better because his dispel can also give buff block which prevents them from getting advantage or getting stealth back.

Everything said above is true. The other problem is that then you have a dead spot in your 5 man roster. And that is Plo Koon. He's terrible, and in bad need of a buff.

He's one baaad dude.

Because R2D2 does a much better job in handling Zaul team, so PLO is not even being considered, and PLO really sucks in arena (opposite way in fleet arena though)
