looks like emperor palpatine was added to game with update so guess he is reward

JetBlackMirror

He sure is! Thanks for the notice. I hope I can get him soon, he looks sweet on paper.

vincentlondon

Where did you see him ?

Winterbio

He looks insane! Just awesome! His leader ability will make Tarking and Magma finally able to proc their debuffs! And it's a good counter against Ben (L)! God, I'm loving it!

Look in the characters and he will be at the bottom with 0/145 shards with no finding location.

Bovda_Yevoba

Looks like he's gonna be pretty powerful.

You think...!

So emporer and Vader will get double benefits from his leader since they are both sith and empire

RussBus

So, with Vader being empire and sith, does that mean he gets tm and health on every debuff? Because if so, Vader just became the most overpowered character in the game and will be a pain in the back side to take down.

clagsmd

So does Palpatine basically makes Empire/Sith teams viable now all by himself? (They needed it)

KyloRey

Yeah, this looks like the Dark Side/Sith version of the Yoda event.

I am partial to Jedis, but I guess I will need to get more Empire and Sith characters now.

Looks like a hard counter to that team. Emp's leader ability is beast

RAYRAY

I for one welcome our new sith overlords. Hell, maul and savage will even be better. RG still awesome. Palp, Vader, RG, Tarkin, dooku/savage/maul or other empire toon, he makes some previously marginal toons better.

The Emperor's Demise-event (similar to Yoda) of course.

Which is why people have been levelling up their Rebels.

I wonder what those already crazy abilities will be like after omega's....

Jacen_Solo

You know what's totally frightening? That sweet leader ability is Level 1. That would be amazing if it were already maxed. What's gonna happen at Level 7 or 8 when it's maxed?

What does shocked mean if it's not stun?

Rip Old Ben, and Han teams April 2016 - August 2016

Lol I fixed it for you bro. Anakin lead will still be amazing. Though Palpatine lead is a direct counter to old Ben now. Virtually ruining the old Ben and Han teams of the past.

Seems like a good idea but you would need either ability block to prevent cleanses or speed/TM manipulation to make sure you go early and often. Also depends heavily on Palpatine's health pool and armor.

ImperialTaco

Super stoked for him! His stun seems pretty brutal, especially if you stack some nice potency mods on him.

Probably just a debuff that does nothing itself but triggers other things if someone has it on them.

Biggs will still kick ****. Remember he gets full turn meter when damaged by the empire. And his awesome assist is only 2 cooldown.

Take a look at your not activated.
Here is Palpatine in action, Tier 3 Tenacity Mod Challenge (rebels)

Prepare yourselves for tomorrow...

Amorgan

By the sounds of it He's going to tear my Jedi team to pieces

I like it tho .....

ShewardN

Wow, he looks crazy awesome! Too bad I won't have the Rebels ready to unlock him this time (assuming it's the same as the Yoda event), but I definitely will for the next time this comes around!

It is simply a status that allows for a second attack to proc, just like deathmark and expose etc. It probably does nothing by itself.

Just for anyone wondering how awesome his leader will be
