For along time people have asked for General grievous to be made better, and I happen to agree, for the time it takes to simpily unlock him, he should be great, and well playing the places of power (Assult battle) it reminded me of a mechanic that I thought could be reintroduced into the game, this is my idea for a rework.
General grievous
Basic - Furious Assault - deal physical damage with a 75% chance to attack again, a 50% chance to attack a third time, and a 25% chance to attack a fourth time, Grievous gains 10% turn meter for every extra attack, and every attack after the first deals 15% "stacking" less damage. This attack can't be countered or evaded.
Special - Grievous wounds - Cooldown 5 - deal physical damage to all enemy's and inflict health immunity for 2 turns, and inflict buff immunity on a critical hit. Cannot be countered.
Special - sinister laugh - Cooldown 5 - target enemy is stunned, then all enemy's have their moral lowered by 15% for 2 turns and remove 5% turn meter for every debuff.
Moral - all stats reduced.
Leader - Daunting presence - all enemy's have -35% critical chance and critical damage, and every time any ally critical hits, they have a 35% chance to reduce their cooldowns by 1. General grievous gives all allies High Moral 20%, doubled on dark side droids.
Tactical retreat - grievous has 5% evasion for every living droid ally, and 10% Max health for each living separatist ally, in addition whenever general grievous takes damage, their is a 25% chance to grant target ally, taunt for 1 turn, if they already have taunt then gain retribution for 2 turns, if they already have retribution then gain 20% max health. If IG-100 is active then he gains taunt for 1 turn at the start of each encounter and gains 25% max health and an additional 25% counter chance.
Would love to read your feedback and opinions below.
I like the leadership ability. It helps for the squishy droids. Tactical retreat I think should give GG stealth on crit. I agree his basic should have four hits but each one having a damage penalty like 25, 50, 75 so he doesn't 1 hit characters. Or make it so his basic can't crit. I think sinister laugh special should increase enemy cool downs. I like the ig100 synergy, I think ig100 should have 100% counter though.
I like most of this, but what do you mean by 'Grievous has 5% stealth for each Droid ally'? Do you mean 5% dodge chance or 5% chance to gain stealth when something specific happens.

Overall I really enjoyed this post. Good job!
Agreed, General grievous looks to cool in game to go unused, and has a lot of potential but needs quite the rework.

They certainly are similar, I never meant to copy yours, I never even read yours until now.
