Can we fix the SLK vs 5s AI Targetting issue?
That , imo, CANNOT be what the devs intended when they originally made the AI programming (i.e. taking out 5s first in a GAS lead).
I'm all for legitimate counters to Kylo, but this one literally causes a loop that is designed for failure (i.e. 5s taunts, continually heals via Padme and characters only hammer him with basics). That, if applied to other things in the game, cannot be what the devs intended (it's literally an infinite loop that creates an auto win scenario).

Give Kylo another +30 speed and 'Dark side allies cannot be damaged while they have advantage' in his leadership.
Then swap out any characters that attack out of turn! Simples! Just as it was with the Gas+1...add in malak and the counter was dead. Seriously, people come out with counters or find ways to beat you so YOU in turn work out a way to stop that.
And besides, this strategy has always existed, and is not new.
What a whinner. 1 small counter exist now for a specific Kylo team and the guy has to whine. You just need to learn how to play instead of just paying for an autowin button.
Everyone seems to forget, that they changed it to suit Rey when people was using the fives cheese with wat.
They just need to change the AI so kylo will aid to actually use his siphon. Nothing needs buffing or nerfing. Just fix the AI.
Or literally just stop using Sith Trooper.
If you complain you might delay the RA another month. Stop!
Every single toon in this game for the most part is void because of the "AI" though of your really want to think about it.
No, the fixed the AI so that GLs would not be dumb enough to trigger 5s sacrifice, and thus make it harder for GAS to counter them. So if you fix the AI, it will just open the door for the old dumb AI to be exploited
Whale harder .
But no really this is not a big deal , I spend more time theory crafting around the games AI than actually playing , if you want the AI to do the perfect move every turn then you need to wait for skynet or find a new game.
It is not coded wrong from what I’ve heard. This was meant to be this way.
So you want them to program it for every possible situation?
Good luck with that. Any chance of getting new content this year is now gone.
I would have never started with this hardcoded stuff and kept it random.
So what would you consider a legitimate counter? Using GS+1 to stop his ultimate wasnt legit. Now using a team of very high end characters and 2 major metas together to beat him isnt legit. Please help me understand what a legitimate counter would be. You mean you want only rey (and only a 50% win rate) and other SLKR to beat him? Rey is EASILY countered with 80%+ win rate with DR and GBA. That's a much cheaper counter in terms of investment than needing padme and GS +clones.
So if all the counters so far aren't "legitimate" counters, what would you suggest as a legitimate counter?
Probably one that doesn't only work as a result of a piece of bad AI coding.
Bingo.
You can counter him with equally modded dr, gba, thrawn. Im not opposed to that counter.
Theres a jkr counter as well.
And both GLs have 100% win rates assuming modding is equal vs each other. So thats 4 counters. Im perfectly fine with ftp having a counter, im just not fine with counters that exploit an obvious oversight in the ai coding.
So change Reys kit to let her auto kylo on offense, make her team immune to critical while in ultimate form and make her damage immunity activate when a unit would have died. That would maybe balance them so they can both reliably beat each other on offense. Because right now, rey is hot garbage compared to Kylo in every measure except LSTB, and that's probably only because Kylo cant be used there, otherwise he'd probably outshine Rey there too.
And anyone who wants to bring up meta report. Everyone claimed Rey was better so many people went for Rey first, or they had resistance closer due to using it for HSTR. Let's see the meta report in 6 months when everyone who got Rey is unlocking Kylo as well, and see what it looks like. Because right now I've got MAJOR buyers remorse about Rey, and using that padme team with rey to counter kylo on my arena climb is the only thing that is fighting off the desire to quit entirely due to my last 4 months of hard farming being totally inferior to the alternative.
why does everyone pretend like beating other teams hasn't historically relied upon dumb AI?
There's dumb AI, and then there's a hard coding where a character literally won't use half his kit.
Kylo outpass Rey by far far away. There is no more competition now.
Rey out, Kylo for the win.
