Something wrong with FOTP?
He is doing much less damage than before the update, mine is 7* lvl 74 gear 8, and has even hit for 1800 on a non tank jedi.
I thought he was suppose to get a damage buff to compensate his slow speed.
He also loses Advantage immediately if proced on his double tap ability. His second attack from double attack also gains no benefit from advantage.
Advantage in itself just a mess right now. Someone please confirm.

Also he is suppose to have Advantage for 3 turns when gained from himself, and 2 turns when gained from Phasma. So far it dissapears immediately, at the very least it should buff him for his entire double tap basic attack.
Good point I dont remember if it was or not, that could be what happened. Thanks for the input.
If anyone has any experiences like this one where defense up wasnt involved, please let us know.
That sounds about right, my 6* max FOTP hits for 2.4k on basic, like 3.6k on crit. Still a significant reduction, especially since his double shot is less likely now that advantage only lasts 1 turn.
I have him maxed and he crits for 4.3 to 4.8 and he rarely crits in general, vs 6-8k in the past...add to that that enemy now has double the HP, he is squishy...and he is slow. It was a bad move by the devs to just make him overall worst without anything added to make it up, finally killing the char.
Glass cannon to glass ornament, which will become GW fodder if hes ever needed there.
hes terrible now.
i would be ok w it but rey is still a beast... it makes no sense
Rey is a star of Episode 7, somewhat an iconic char. FOTP is a no name one.
This. I'm sure it makes me a fan boy, but I want the main characters from the movies/shows to be the best in the game. Here's hoping for scoundrel Han and jedi Luke as the next meta.
Thats fine for the movie, but bad for the game. No point in having a few all powerful characters that everyone would use, with the others being trash. Balance is what's important. Fotp had his place as a glass cannon, meaning very little health, and massive damage, the low health being the balancing factor. Now it seems he's just glass. It makes even less sense when he's such a hard to farm character.
It's not rocket surgery.
Old Ben is more iconic than Rey and he's the wet noodle king. Darth Vader's basic is pretty much trash at 4*.
I don't think the devs take character popularity into consideration when it comes to things like this.
im talking about making sense for game balance --
rey and fotp before patch were both hard hitters - rey had a little more speed and fotp prolly hit a wee bit harder
now they nerf fotp (who is slow) and do nothing to rey who is very fast? thats what makes no sense
i also have FINN who is ICONIC and LORE - but nobody seems to be **** about him..
I'm disappointed bc I've been farming FOTP, but I have to agree. I think I would be ok with the fotp nerd if they also nerfed the bug.
Fotp didn't have to be needed though. His high damage was balanced by his abysmal health and being slower than a potato. For the movies it's OK to have the stars be stronger, but for the sake of balance in a holotable game it really isn't. Damage was the only thing going for him and that was nerfed, though strangely much faster Rey and gs, who also hit very hard didn't see as much of a reduction.
Just because he can't OHKO anymore doesnt mean he's suddenly useless. He's just balanced.
So because you fought him with a weakened team in GW he was justly balanced? Do you have a 7* fotp? Cause I feel like you'd sing a different tune if you did.
Where is the respect and logic?
I have FOTP 6* G8, maxed attacks (I'm 6 shards & 1mill away from 7*). Today, in GW with Phasma's advantage and QGJ offense up, he hit for 1700 and only shot once per attack -no crits.
In arena, each time he crit w/ offense up and advantage, he special'd for a whopping 1900(!). I had to bench him from arena squad.
Wth?!?! Those are Bariss, RG and 5's type numbers but without all of the hit points/stuns/counter attacks/heals. SMH.
Oh and when he does double tap it's like, maybe 1500 plus 2200z wth?!?! Argh.
