Loving the reworks and how they seem to boost the Geos Damage...the Exposes from Geo Spy plus the Defense Penetration. I love it. Mass Dispel from Sun Fac too. Yikes...Gotta see who will be the best leader.

Gleeeeeee!! Genosians are great, love them already, thanks for making the Brood alpha instantly accesible, that gives so much more enthusiasm for new content, cause we don't have to wait for half a year. Love what CG is doing here!

Don't forget that Geo Soldier is going to be assisting much more on in the new Geonosian squad. He's going to earning plenty of TM still

@CG_SBCrumb Has Geo Soldier Special 1 seen an increase in cooldown? It says 3 in normal color, but it's currently only a 2 turn cooldown

A bunch of free omega materials would be pretty awesome right now :P

Funny how you can't just leave things alone, swarm would have been fine at cool down 2. They still hit like wet noodles

Should really add a red out with a line through it "50%" under that turn meter gain. Anything else looks like you were trying to be sneaky hiding that nerf

Dont misunderstand, I do understand the potential need for the turn meter gain reduction! Just shouldn't try to hide it by renaming it to 25% and making it green like it was an improvement XD dirty dirty

Ouch, I don’t like this one. Nerfed the damage bonus on assist, reduced the cooldown on the assist attack, and reduced the TM gain. He’s now going to be going half as often. Also will lose offense up more now (I know Poggle gives it but Solider goes so often he would blow through it and lose it). This is a bummer.

They did the same with bonus damage.

Dear God this is insane. Inflicting tenacity down on his basic! Tenacity down pretty much nullifies any amount of tenacity a character has, even as it's being applied. No team is going to be able to resist any of this swarm of debuffs! And the reason his tm was turned down was because he is attacking EVERY TURN...

That’s what made him so good and why some people were taking him to G13. He got to take a turn essentially after every Bug went if you modded him for 100% crit chance. And his high damage special could be used every other turn. Now his own damage has been nerfed significantly. Everything he gained (tenacity down, choose ally assisting, defense penetration for all Geos) isn’t magnified by G13. G13 is still good, but the value of it relative to other G13s went down with this rework.

Hive mind is activated while Brood Alpha is alive on your team, either in the leader or ally slot. If Brood Alpha dies, the rest of your team loses hive mind.
