Does Leia shoot blanks?

I've been trying so hard to convince myself to use Leia in my Arena team, she's 7*, almost Max gear yet still I've been having this issue:

- She RARELY shoots more than once, and rarely crits
- Whenever she shoots 3 times the opponent dodges at least once or twice (Without Dooku or Luminara lead) this happens way too often to the extent that I really think she shoots blanks or something

How was your experience with Leia? What can I do to make her a starter character?

    As a recipient of Leia's attacks, she crits and multi attacks 2 out of 3 rounds.

    I have a nearly maxed 7* leia and put her on arena team today. I had crits and double attacks and still felt like there wasnt enough oomph. Back to the bench.

    Given that I have FOTP and Rey stuck at 5* I was hoping she can fill the DPS slot on my squad

    Around what Rank/level?

    Used 7* for over a month, but stopped. Not sure if they nerfed her (no mention anywhere) or I'm simply awed by Rey, but I noticed that she kept hitting blanks just like you mention after the update before last, so she's been replaced by Rey for Arena.
    If you don't have Rey, Leia will do the job.

    He is the other DPS im thinking about. I need 2 in the new team (and I don't count QGJ as a high DPS char)

    I used Leia for quite a while in arena, shes just too inconsistent, she will either hit like a truck or hit really weak

    her best uses IMO are constantly giving your team crit chance +

    It's just so impressive that out of all characters I have she's the one who really needs some practice to stop giving dodges left and right

    Maybe she does better on defense?

    I have the same problems with Leia. Used all those /50 hair dryers on her only to be let down. Hitting for 2200 and critting for 3800. Depressing. Especially when she gets dodged!

    I use my maxed Leia in arena always. My team is Dooku-L, Rey, Leia, RG, QGJ. Dooku stun Jedi, Leia hit next, gives bunus to Rey, Rey kills...

    I haven't used them on her yet, I think her hair looks just fine

    My Rey is very far from getting maxed, any suggestions?

    I have her at gear Lvl 7.... So I probably should shouldn't do the hair dryer challenge? As of now she is a dud most of the time

    As many mentioned above, she's too RNG-dependent, thus too inconsistent for my arena team at the moment. If they upped her bonus chance to 70% for first try, 50% second try she'd be great.

    So Leia or IG86?

    IG86. Does better damage than 7* Leia (at least from what I'm hearing here) at only 5* and his assist attack is nice. He doesn't attack as fast, but he is better on defense because he doesn't waste his first attack.

    Leia and her first turn waste is so infuriating. I spent ages and all my time on her when I got "lucky" so I thought and basically got her to 5* early on, seemed 90% of chromiums I opened had her (and same til 6* with a few more I opened later) but she was so underwhelming I've relegated her to a suicide squad in gw, and still haven't bothered promoting her to 6* after many weeks of having her shards there.


    Also the biggest whale on our server who has most, if not everyone I've seen him use at 7* has 7* Leia in his arena team for a day or so, and benched her ever since which was easily over a month ago. I think he actually benched her and put 5* Rey in her place from memory, probably found Rey a lot more dps giving and not infuriating like Leia is. Probably dropped less places over night until he put the recently buffed 7* RG in his team.

    Tldr, Leia just seems so underwhelming, even from people who thought the best of her until reality set in, she's very low on the "must use" scale.

    definitely stealth nerf.

    but hey bro, how much did you spent on getting her to 7*.
    I'm thinking to have her as my dream team but seeing your post makes it dismissable.

    Didn't really track that as pretty much every time I opened Chromium's I either got her or Kit till both reached 7* . I would say 90℅ of the packs were Kit, Leia or Cad Bane.

    Aaand today I used her throughout GW and she pretty much missed 60% of her shots.
    She even shot 3 times once and the opponent dodged all of them

    Hah! I had the EXACT same results tons of Fisto, Leia, and Cad Bane. Cad is a lil shy of 7* but Leia and Fisto got to 7 quick and then made a huge surplus of shard shop fodder for me.

    Wonder if their random is broke on the chromiums...

    @FeepCunner Yeah it is quite annoying. After 7* the 3 of them - without meaning to - I decided to quit buying chromium packs but it is clearly set up towards certain characters.
    Cad Bane is pretty much sitting at a low level with Gear level 5 or something and Kit is useless except for Yoda challenge.
    But I had to 7 star all of them in order to use the excess shards

    Ugnaught is just shy of 7* too for me

    Maybe he'll be the man in the new meta lol
