Is Yoda viable anymore

I've got him at 5*, low level. Haven't invested much. Was still working on my jedi's.

So two things:

After seeing what protection does I wonder if he will have protection when the challenge is opened back up. If he does... <3. He was OP in his challenge before from what saw but could you imagine him with protection now also. Health like a tank but still hitting hard.

2. I haven't really paid much attention to the damage my Jedi were doing in arena tonight. I run Dooko, QGJ, Lumi, Poggle, and GS. With Poggle's offense up they seemed to still do okay. Went 5/5 and finished 44 so not complaining. The new meta seems like it's gonna be health and TM. Are the Jedi even going to be viable in the meta?

Thoughts?

    They nerfed his attacks into oblivion. I'm gonna be optimistic and hope he's still good at 7*

    with battles lasting a loot longer yoda has more time to get his team wide buffs out, therefore in my opinion this may not overall be a nerf, as he has more time to set up his ally buffs.

    Not true, read up on it. That was his level 80 attack which was not correct.

    I didn't notice a big drop in his damage. He worked just as well post update.

    He got a huge damage reduction especially on his AOE. I won 2/3 battles today post update but my Jedi seam like will be way out matched pretty soon.

    I used my 6 star Yoda in GW, his damage is completely insignificant now, if they leave him like this he's become pretty much worthless.

    I really hope I haven't been pouring all my shard farming into Jedi for nothing. Nerfing Yoda, one of their money makers come event time, would be one of the dumbest ideas yet.

    Yoda is still very useful imo. He gives so many buff to your team now.

    yoda is now more of a puzzle piece to be used in the right place rather than a "OOH lets have qgj lead and yoda + 3 other random dps toons and i'll win" team :/
    nobody can possibly conceive of all the new possibilities/combinations of teams that are now viable post update. give it at least a week people.

    Sadly, this is true. Yoda went down easy (his protection is not that hot) and didn't do much before he was killed. I hope the 2 arena battles tonight were a fluke, but he seemed to be MUCH less of a threat than he was pre-patch. EA_Jesse assured everyone in another thread that the Yoda nerfs were based on level 80 numbers...but he hit's more like Barris now.

    He can get off most of his stuff, but it doesn't seem to help nearly as much with protection and the fact that he his nerfed.

    I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

    So now it's Yoda+Han instead of QGJ.

    Yeah, what I was thinking when I used him, he seems to make just about as much damage as Barris use to. Of course now she doesn't do any damage at all, she just tickles the opponents, but that's another story...

    This might be true. It does seem like the meta might be opening up. Heck, apparently even Chewie is viable again. lol

    Yoda was hitting like Bariss when I used him in GW this morning. Mine was a 6* fully geared.
    I brought all my Jedi to 7* for it to be nerfed.
    Fantastic....

    I think their idea was to turn him into a pure utility character like Poggle or Obi wan.

    Their idea was purely to neuter the fast toons so that ppla stopped using them since everyone cried about everyone else using fast toons. Now the fast toons are neutered so use slow ones instead. Enough time will pass where everyone cries about slow toons and they will make fast ones decent again.
    Issue is, toons like yoda and dooku were probably the most balanced toons in the game. A big weakness for every strength but now they are neutered to the point of their damage being compared to bariss's............ Enough said

    Did Dooku got his damage nerfed as well??

    Apparently yes but I didn't pay close enough attention to really notice.

    I agree. And his next basic upgrade grants more turn meter, so more attacks. I think/hope he will still be good.

    Anyone who is saying that his damage change isn't noticeable does not have a maxed Yoda. His damage debuff is REALLY noticeable. I pulled him out after one match until I can find another team that he can shine on. Fingers crossed there is one...

    Of course he did. All the fast toons did.
    Mine is fully geared and max'd at all timescause he was fun and functional. He now crits for under 3,000 damage........ Thats a crit not a notmal attack. You dang near cant even see the opponets health bar move when he attacks now.
