Ok, based on the level of detail that post contains now I am convinced that they have all the details about the tuning changes by character that we as a community are asking for. @CG_Method --thanks for that thorough and well thought out description of the changes to Advantage! Hopefully we will get a character by character break down in the next day before the patch.

Advantage will cause multi-hit moves (e.g. Rey's Flurry of Blows, Magmatrooper's Line of Fire) to crit each hit.
3 Rey hits in one turn, all crit? Just wow. She will need a huge nerf for a Phasma(L)/Rey team to not to be OP.
Its potentially 4 if she has a positive status effect, all critting would be well over 20k damage now. That may be different tomorrow though.
I don't see how it possibly can't be different tomorrow. Not nerfing Rey would be the opposite of rebalancing the game.
I am a rey supporter, she is great but also is probably one of the reasons we need this rebalancing patch. She is just too fast and does too much damage. I predict she will still be high on damage (Maybe one of the highest still) but the other mechanics are going to limit OHKO's and all will be well with the world (err. Galaxy).

All i take from this is that aoe's crit on every hit now? What?? Am i the only one who finds this to be potentially OP? Lando? Hi! Is Phasma becoming target no1 to attack and kill before every other character in the game?

Lando would be easier to KO in your example. Also, I don't target Poggle first when he's there, I just KO the highest damage dealer.
She has a lot of health and AI does Victory March first a lot. She's spreading that advantage unless you ability block her.

Good luck with her health and RG taunt!
Of course we have no idea how this will all play out, but why wouldn't Phasma now not be on every team?
What I read into this is that if Armour penetration was too powerful and crits were not, then we're going to see a big, across-the-board damage reduction with this update. AOE's may actually have to crit to do the damage they were doing before. And if several attacks by Rey are checked against armour first and then have a +50% crit modifier applied, they may be five figure blows but not necessarily direct killers. Too early to tell.

In the lead or not
No more than Poggle. Crit teams can be a thing, and likely a fun fail-safe, after update.
@SidiousIsPikachu not sure if you've seen this or not - but this might be good news for Sidious (i know he's your favourite). Sid's chance to ignore armour on his basic attack might mean he can deal serious damage from time to time
The only other character* who can ignore armour is... JC! On his special attack

That's great and all but there is still Dooku leadership in the game...

Keep in mind AI triggers Phasma's Fusillade before Victory March. Defense won't be nearly as good as offense. New "tank" Phasma as you try to take her out before she gets 2 turns.
Phasma, 86 or FOTP, Han or RG, Kylo or Sid, & 88 ??? Hmm
Looking forward to new combos
How awesome will it be to see Billie Dee's smiling **** all the way down the leaderboards?
Man i'm dying at this comment hahaha, too good.
Seems as if everyone is catching on that the Phasma + Lando combo will literally be insane. I've had my build ready for it as soon as they mentioned the rework of advantage. Hopefully now I will have the advantage being that I came up with the build before the majority of people lol.

edit: *and magmatrooper's AOE...

What's a 'dooku'?

Ackbar's third ability has a % of armor penetration
Magmatrooper's AOE ignores armor as well.
Oh yeah... thnks! I'll blame www.swgohcantina.com
@Kylven your website needs updating - synergies section: magmatrooper ignores armour
