Did Lord Vader get nerfed again?
When going against JMK in Squad Arena, it seems like his damage has drastically decreased, particularly against GK. Has anyone else noticed this? I've lost twice in a row against a team I've never had trouble with. Below is a screenshot of his damage after 2 full ults, one with a full team, and another with only RG standing.

This was just after 2nd ultimate. JMK died on LV's next turn.
This was against JMK, GAS, GK, CAT, ahsoka
This is what usually happens- 1 or 2 teammates alive at the end.
Pfft Lord Vader is fine, he only gets countered by imperial troopers (marquees), fennec BH (marauees), Sith Trio /w DV & Talon (1 raid + marauees) & others of much lesser investment.
I mean it’s not like he’s the most expensive galactic legend in the game who CG stated was a tier above the first 4 Galactic Legends when paired with his conquest unit…. oh wait.
At least Geos dont beat him (yet)
Too busy beating Rey.
SEE getting rekt by GG,
SLKR getting owned by JKR and JKL,
JML getting owned by EP and mara jade.
JMK getting demolished by Padme.
Bugs and a murder bear owning Rey.
Are you sure LV is that bad?
Yes.
SEE / SLKR / JML & Rey are all a tier below LV Maul & JMK Cat (CGs wording).
JMK getting “demolished by Padmé” requires characters that rip apart JMKs team, (Ahsoka, CAT, GK) & nerfs CLS’ team, (3PO), meaning it’s essentially pointless to do for most because of how high the investment is for the counter.
While LV, who again, is a tier above the first 4 GLs & the most expensive to unlock, gets countered by a marquee BH squad, marquee imp trooper squad, sith trio /w talon & DV (1 raid + 4 marquees).
So yeah I’m pre sure there’s something wrong with LV ngl
Lmao fair
Yes, he sucks!
No, because using a GL against two good, but not exactly meta teams is wasteful. Plus you never see them on defence anyway.
Would anyone invest in a GL to beat those squads?
oh, you never see those teams on defense? Because they are far better on offense and not great on defense, right?
I understood your original point and agree with it to a certain extent. What I find hard to understand however is why the hardest to acquire character in the game is beaten so easily on defence that it's only really an offence character. And why you seem to think that's OK.
I think people were more accepting (eventually) of SEE being really just an attacking GL as he's relatively cheap. LV isn't - and isn't good enough, IMO.
Are you seriously comparing a GL (and the most recent AND expensive GL to date) with a 4 year old team and a f2p team with 1 - 3 marquees? With those standards a GL performing as well as a standard palp team seems worthwhile to you?
No
Alternatively, have his kit interact much more with DoTs since he inflicts them so much, gain mastery based on them as well or something but don’t make them undispellable as some have suggested since it would be waaaaay too op with how many he dishes out.
Oh. Since now.

Numbers dont lie, you got a problem with youtubers? dont watch them lol
For the 1st, the win percentage is a as low as 54%. Not something I'd count on to win GAC.
In the second, there are like 15 instances of each battle. Very fringe cases, and as darjelos eluded to, we can't see mods or any other factors. It's very far from proving these are legitimate counters.
The info is there, the numbers are there, do with it as it pleases you
I'll do nothing, as they show nothing.
