Is this actual changes from data mine or suggestion? because if it's suggestion I'd lower jka assist to 50% or give him only 70% damage on assist
It's a suggestion. Sidious is only threatening as a low level player.
< low level player apparently...
I think you mean player with roster that wasn't based on wiggs meta. Cause I'm definitely 85 but emperor still is a worry.
@Kyleslater did you say emperor, are you talking about palpatine or darth sideous? Palpatines amazing sideous is not.
Also I think you should swap out Anakin for Dooku in terms of synergy since the Anakin in game is from Clone Wars and not ROTS
Make Zader Great Again!
well I'm not compareing him to boba because on my shard I'm still lucky not to face topped out bobas. Even as bad as sidious is. Hes still a serious threat to my team. Keep in mind my roster is not very deep at all. I just hit 85 and have only been playing since mid summer.
I mean sideous. Like I said above... Sideous is a serious threat. Palp I don't even bother to try at this point... Maybe after xmas when I have 5* palp and b2/shortrooper up to 85 I might attempt to fight palp but with my current heavy jedi team (the crappy ones... not the good ones) I might as well not even try.
I like it! +10
Emperor is a threat. Sidious is not.
Sidious was one of my first 7*'s but even with the buff to his potency his damage output just falls off so much compared to other options that can replace him. I mean think about it, would you really rather have Sidious or Boba/Tie Fighter Pilot? I wish I could say Sids but as he is, his lack of damage/utility just makes it too much of a liability.
When he hits a target, he hits them with a resistable armour penetration debuff.
If it sticks, it means anyone in your squad can attack health directly on that target, ignoring their protection.
I'm not sure why Sidious would deserve a debuff like this though, feels better suited to a Mandalorian character.
Uh am I not making myself clear enough? Palp is hopelessly impossible to me. Sideous is still a serious threat though. He might not be up to you chaze/wiggs team level but some of us don't have the bloody meta and things like sideous are still a dreadful threat. Next your gonna say well you must be a nub and not top 10 in your server.... No kiddin? I'd be happy with top 200... Clearly we are playing the game at two very different levels.... I wish I was at yours but I haven't been able to reach it yet and suspect I want not be reaching it any time soon.
No bottom like as much as you might say sideous is a failure in current meta he's still very much terrifying to some of us. Do I think he doesn't need a rework? That's not for me to say. And reworking him might work well in my favour cause I can actually farm him.
Don't use Chaze or Wiggs, I find those two to be cheap.
Here is the thing tho, if you dont mind my butting into your conversation. Sidious is replaceable by a Large number of farmable characters that are just flat better than him. If you are sticking to dark side characters Tie Fighter Pilot, Boba, Dooku and even the recently buffed Asaj bring more damage and utility than him. He brings medioce damage, DoTs, and a heal immunity debuff that is only effective for 40-50% of most characters effective health pools. He definitely needs more and if you are focusing him in arena you are likely leaving true threats to wreck your team while targeting him. As much as I wish he was good, mines 7 star G8 lvl 75, I just cant justify investing anymore resources in him until he gets better.
Nope
As far his kit goes in-game, I think it's fine. His unique zeta gives him extra health so he really just needs a boost in his attack power. If I were to change anything, I would probably reduce the cooldown on Demoralizing Blows by one (to 3 turns), make his evade bonus work against everyone, not just Jedi, and possibly make him immune to critical hits. With some added survivability and better damage output, he'd become somewhat dangerous when paired with Palpatine and/or Vader and that's not a bad niche for him to occupy.
