Who's going to be better... CLS or GK?
So looking at CLS's kit.. do you think he's going to surpass GK?

My prediction for top 5 toons.
Personally, I like both.
Can't argue with that.
This. However, CS will do a decent job as a pseudo tank in addition to being a great attacker. Can't wait!
Unless you have raid han. Pushes them back a turn. Of course, that's on offense
Assuming also it's a full sith zaul team
Ignoring taunt doesn't help you hit a stealthed zaul.
Nope. If a zaul team runs one non sith, you won't be able to target sith assassin and stall their first turn.
But there will either be Kenobi or chirrut on the team so daze won't matter
I think its pretty close...probably really boils down to squad synergy.
Seems pretty balanced to me in a lot of ways...Gk gives 100% counter sometimes and CLS 50% all the time. GK cleanses and hands out buffs, while Luke debuffs and removes buffs. Luke probably does more damage averaged out over multiple rounds, but GK probably can bring more pain in a single turn with his group hug.
Really the main difference seems to be GK taunts while Luke requires R2 to be a psuedo tank. Seems to me like Luke will be far more useful in offense mode and his defense mode is just an oh crap for if/when your primary tank dies or if you initial taunt gets dispelled quickly and you have R2 around to stealth.
I'm kinda curious to see the stats on CLS when they release him though...I'm kinda expecting him to be on the slow side. Seems like they put quite a few TM mechanics into ANH squad, where they obviously want Luke to be played, and I'm really hoping CLS doesn't turn into plug and play into Wiggs/Chaze squad and win the game, because I'm already sick of seeing so many Wiggs/Chaze in so many arena squads lol.
Daze then AoE cooldown increase by DN could shut them down.
GK:
-Gives foresight to himself and allies (on a basic!!!)
-Auto taunts like royal guard
-Dispel all allies that grants buffs
-Grant all allies retribution (no other character does this. Nearly nullifies CLS lead)
-Call allies to assist
GK can do more damage calling everyone to assist, is a great protector by auto taunting, by granting foresight, and dispelling everyone and granting the opposite debuff, and gives any and everyone counter attack.
CLS in my opinion many times easier to unlock (we're handed a 7* character) than GK anyways. It's meant to be that way for reason.
CLS has only 40k HP whereas GK has 60k HP. CLS is far to be a tank and is designed to be an attacker where all the new attackers have such HP.
CLS is the perfect Rebel leader but GK is more versatile and can be used, and is used mainly as a tank where his lead is just dedicated to himself since he's most of the time accompanied by non-jedis/clones toons.
Luke is one of the fastest people in Star Wars lore, so I'm more surprised his Farm Boy version was so low (but then again his force hadn't "awakened" yet) just wait till JKL drops, he'll be faster, hit harder combo with Rebels and Jedi (who will have their reworks) and just be a straight OP powerhouse. I can't wait to use JKL, CLS, GK, Mace & Yoda (or Ezra)
