Are you aware that all of my gametime evolves around dealing with this character? Which is getting very boring. In every "Galactic War", there he is. In most arena matches, there he is.
And who can blame people for collecting him. He is ridicilously powerful! Beyond compare.
But 10 games in a row facing this guy is just killing my gaming experience. To the extent were I am thinking "sigh....again" instead of getting excitet to actually play.
Most of all because he is totally oblitterating my setup with the healing debuff. And when abilities that are suppose to remove all negative status effects are bugged atm, it just makes for a horrible gaming experience. And when I finally got him where I want, at 10% health while stunned, he dodges my attack anyways. Which doesn't exactly add that extra exitement factor.
This, in adition to his other abilities just make him a monster.
Usually characters are balanced in regard to abilities, damage output and health. An example is the First order tie pilot who has high damage potential but low health pool.
Tanks, with high healthpools but deal moderate to low damage.
But this guy is just loaded with, hands down, the strongest leader ability ingame, high damage output, high health pool, and a tonn of abilities like healing debuff, dodge vs Jedi, healing on character deaths.
Surely you can shuffle enemy setups somehow so we can have some variation?

This topic shows that you are only complaining bout something that is not a big problem. You should have asked for advice instead of whining. Do some research, don't put yourself in a funny spot.
Please! No more whining & complaing!
Best leader? Sorry, but no. It depends on your strategy & iin my opinion Phasma, QGJ or Obi-Wan are much better.
Sid is the Emperor! He ruled the Galaxy for Six Films! Of course he is one of the best toons: he should be! Go & get your own, or learn more about the game & easily defeat him. From your comments it seems like your under estimating speed & turn meter.
I have no problems with him at all. His defense is pathetic. Put together a team with some turn meter power & take him out immediately. It's that easy. I stopped farming him at 4 stars because there are better characters. Speed & turn meter is the name of the game. Learn those tenants & Sid will be history.
But Biggs Darklighter is even easier to farm.
Sidious is used because of his heal block, AoE and especially leader ability. And now, his (frankly ludicrous) 35% dodge against Jedi. There are many leader abilities in the game that boost offense and/or crit chance, but Sidious is used more than all of the others combined. Gee, I wonder why?
His buffing in December remains for me in the top 10 of odd choices made by CG that I will never understand. He was already being overused even before that.
I run Sid too but mostly because he is the best of the arena drops but he is probably fourth on the team right now behind GS, QGJ and Lumi in terms of usefulness.
OP, Sid? Wow lol. He hits mediocore, has terrible HP. How is he OP? Wait until you see actual strong Toons. If not for Sids speed and decent AOE(however with the DOT res bug he hinders you now) he'd be on the bench.
Sid can only hurt you if you let him stay up for more than 1 turn. There are so many characters in this game with OHKO power I don't see why you worry about him unless you are running an extremely weak team. In which you should spend less time complaining about a character, and more time working on a better team. I'm not sure what your issue is with those characters, they aren't hard to counter.
hes just really great, hes farmable, his skills are great and pretty unique (INFINITE IMMUNITY!!!!!) and his real unique ability is great. but hes only so popular because of the lack of good toons in Arena shipements.
looking at my own team ? I'd rather get Aayla, rey and poe to 7* before Sidious. hes weaker than them imo. but because hes farmable and got inimitable abilities, hes in 90% of teams.
He not tanky too much, hes not hitting too hard, his leader abi isnt the best. but hes GREAT overall. not op
If one (or worst case 2) attacks are evaded, then enemy sid uses his AOE 90% of the time and that just tickles. and the AOE will be countered by my Dooku. Then my sid, kylo and lumi all get their attacks. Enemy sid only survives this far if the RNG gods hate me. but this gives me another round of QGJ and Dooku at a minimum before enemy sid attacks again and he will be dead before a 2nd attack occurs.
if you focus on the enemy Sid; he will die. and die fast.
one thing to remember, EVERY team, EVERY character has a counter. maybe you don't have it in your roster, I sure as hell don't have every character. but there is counter there. Even Yoda can be countered.
Alas it is the Dark side that prevails more. Hope they would have made Yoda, Obi Won, Luke more easy to farms, they people would have a chance to side with Light side.
If you land a heal block on a character with Sid and then get that character down to low yellow or red, the AI will usually burn a heal trying to save him. I actually once saw Lumi and JC try and save a character with back to back heals.
Obviously a bug, and not something that is easy to do, but I have seen it enough to the point where I never run Sid's AOE in hopes I can get the AI to waste a heal.
I do exactly the same thing.
