RG > Poe?
The soon to be buff of RG may provide an interesting alternative to Poe.
I am happy because I previously built RG to 5* for the tank challenge and have found him to be pretty durable but hits like a pool noodle.

dude those are robes.
not a skirt.
I think the new RG is super broken with the right team. CG must reconsider their buff to RG
Totally agree.
Please. Speed/DPS teams will eat that for lunch.
I'm glad RG will soon no longer be totally useless, but he's hardly going to change the meta. I have a hard time understanding how people can go from "Poe sucks because his speed is now 142 instead of 143" to suddenly being excited about a guy who only taunts when the match is in many cases basically decided.
I would guess speed-independent taunt, passive heal, and if killed revive and repeat while keeping the glass cannons safe and cozy.
My guess is that the taunt will trigger after the first attack if the condition is met, but it will not affect the assist. After all, not even death affects the assist, the target just stands there with 0hp until he gets the second punch. If the assist was affectable by changes happening between it and the initial attack, the target would just fall and no assist would happen.
Perhaps I wasn't clear, or couldn't convey my point since English is not my native language so sometimes I just write as I think it comes off as a tad run-on sentences and whatnot.
So QGJ uses assist on say Sid, it is a crit and Sid is below 50%, RG automatically fires off his taunt, the second part of the assist procs and Sid is killed. But you still have an active taunt that could potentially be incredibly good.
The other possibility is that the taunt does not fire since it considers 'assist attacks' as one long attack sequence that takes a character directly from 100% to 0%, essentially a OHKO. If the first scenario happens RG buff is going to be interesting, if the second scenario takes place it is garbage.
Have a look: now, you usually can kill at least one dps quickly. Now, they will have bariss as lead, and even Rey is very difficult to one-shot. If dps is not killed, Royal guard immediately taunts, bariss may equalize. You don't have a luxury to hit a target with two high speed chars in a row any more - taunt comes automatically and immediately, regardless of speed, and outside of rg turn. And even if you are super lucky with crits and kill one, here comes revive. And this taunt is not limited by any cool down, it's passive and effectively will be up all the time. All this comes together with a 50% stun on basic attack and turn meter manipulation, by the way
If you focus fire rg instead. - good luck, dps destroy you.
If Poe was overpowered, then Royal Guard will just reign supreme - there are no counters to such a godlike power.
Nice. I was actually taking you seriously until this last line. You got me.
Just the ones without any debuffs, or the Magmatrooper will keep on attacking... And Veers has a chance of ability block, disabling the AoEs. Empire team could be nasty, they seem to fit together well...
Do you have a link to datamine?
All that remains now is for the new ways to get the Vader shards. And who knows... maybe the chromium transfer to Cantina will be Tarkin!
If it indeed is Tarkin, I think we can bet on the next event being Empire.
