How about adding a unique zeta ability to Vader
By the addition of each new character, Darth Vader became very weak against them. He needs another zeta ability to become Lord Vader again. Maybe something to gain his armor back. Please make Darth Vader "useful" in arena...

For instance...
Unique - Cybernetic Armor
Abilities on cooldown grant Lord Vader a stacking 100% defense per cooldown (gains +500% after using force crush, 400% next turn, then 300% next until its ready to use again)
This potentially give him a 800% defense boost if he uses force crush then saber toss under an EP lead.
If defense is not your ideal thing then how about giving him say +10% dmg for each debuff? Or some variation?

But yes Vader needs a full rework or new version of him he's been underwhelming for awhile and he should of been a better stand alone toon from the beginning rather than just a leader. He also at the minimal needs force choke
Yes it was.

Isn't it always?
This! Zader in every situation
Plus a way to regain protection, mmmkay?
Seal your destiny: prevent any form of clean for 2 turns
Link?
Hmmm....maybe if IG-88's lead was a unique, so all crits would stack dots... oh doesn't that give you goosebumps.
So, I'd suggest he have an ability that inflicts a unique debuff which makes that enemy take bonus damage as if they were exposed whenever Vader attacks them, however it also lets them ignore one of his passives, which boosts Vader's defence.
As for that defensive passive, I'd suggest something that makes it impossible to do more than, say, 50% of Vader's health in a single attack. Vader generally loses fights when he gets taken down by a thousand cuts, because his fighting style is extremely good at defending his vitals.
I'm not sure about the rest, but I think that's a good basis for a kit that resembles how he actually fights without being incredibly OP like some people *Cough* CLS *Cough*.
I saw that video and it worried me so much. Based on what they said to Ahnald, they have absolutely no clue how overpowered the Rebels are, and they have no idea how bored we all are of the constant Rebel releases. It seems like they might genuinely be blind to the nature of the game right now.
Lord Vader gains 500% defense after using force burst until its cooldown is reset and 400% defense after using culling blade until it's cooldown is reset. Zeta - any jedi or rebel that damages Lord Vader is staggered until vader takes his next turn.
I really do like the idea of turning his leader into a unique though, but adding defence provides vader with no new options and doesnt really increase the threat he opposes to the other team, theyll just leave him to last as he isnt doing anything.
Id suggest the following changes
On his basic, if they already have ability block, inflict stun, stunned characters give vader 15% turnmeter instead
On force choke, dispel all buffs, non-buffed chaarcters are exposed (in addition to everything else that he already has)
Culling blade, vader steals the buffs of the target
Leader turns into a unique
2nd unique: Vader gains 20% stacking offence (5stacks max), every time vader or palpatine is attacked vader gains 25% turnmeter (50%if both attacked). Zeta, vader has an extra 5% per stack and the turnmeter gain is doubled (so 50% each and 100% for both attacked)
This increases vaders versatility, and turns him into a real threat where people will actually take not of him
