I forgot about bb8, but this makes the sith rework utter and complete garbage against the arena meta unless u plan on using Tarkin or Maul as leader, or u can push vaders speed up to 250 or so base. . Because bb8 will still go first and use secret intel, R2 uses smokescreen , and then ur stuck hitting GK until old ben taunts. Unless someone sees something I'm missing here

Im tearing thru nightsisters with vader lead,i only had 1 zeta and put it on EP unique,raid han still a pain still.
Not by tomorrow, but if you're running a CLS team then yeah, you're going to want to get that fixed. He's probably going to be out of the meta by the end of next week. But--by no means are these new toons/reworks meta. They're more NS quality, they destroy the meta.
unfortunately there are no nightsisters really at the top of my arena. its all JTR BB8 R2 GK OB . And the rework has done absolutely nothing to change that

In the guild store Dengar and Starck used to share a spot, but right now they are both in my store in different than usual spots. What exactly happened?
With the new abilities for EP and Vader, it will be interesting to see how the meta shifts. It’s evident that the game is becoming much more a Rock Paper Scissors type of arena(which I believe is/was the goal of CG). JTR>Vader>CLS>Nightsisters>JTR. Of course there are always variations that don’t make this always true but thats the gist of what’s happening to arena. It will be difficult to hold any spots. I personally like this new mixed meta. I think this is the most variety we have ever seen in the meta. Do you find this mix to be enjoyable or frustrating? Does it frustrate you how defense is so difficult?
Another Marquee event....really? Sorry but that kills the excitement for marauder 100% for me and other FTP....can we actually get them just released to a farmable spot for once?
Colonel starck, hermit Yoda, wampa, hoth han and technically hoth Leia and IPD all became farmable on release.
They have to make money somehow. You should be grateful that they give us these characters for free on release. 3* or not. Before marquees we got nothing
Edit: I'm F2P as well just not greedy like you
Lmao ok let me stop you right there for a second. First off, Hoda and Wampa are not farmable by standard terms. You need several TB’s and a high powered guild to get them. So try again.
IDP and ROLO are not farmable. You need special events in a TB to do so, IDP’s being near impossible without Zeers. So try again.
CHS is on an end game Cantina node that requires 16 energy. By definition, farmable, but a long hard farm.
Only today does Starck get a guaranteed slot in guild store, but out of the group the most farmable of them all. Good job!
But with recent characters like the vets, KRU, SFTFP, Rose, Holdo, and now Maurader all being pushed in marquee events requiring a long wait to use before being available to buy in chromiums and crystal shipments, and THEN finally a farmable spot 4-6 months after the event.
So no, it’s not greed, it’s a reasonable expectation for a character to be released once in awhile in a farmable location off the bat to appease F2P players. And no, not Pao. But hey I guess I’m just crazy.
His speed boost isn't working. I have him at 231, running EP Dooku Thrawn and GK against JTR OB GK R2 and BB8 . BB speed is 278 R2 is 260, My dooku is 268 . It went BB8 R2 Vader Dooku
You're forgetting the bonus TM BB-8 and droids get at the start because of him... It's 8% TM per droid for them both, so 16% TM start...

Cheers to a great SWGOH community!
Ever changing paper, scissors, rock is how it should be. There doesn’t need to be a supreme team that owns the meta for good. There should always be a counter to make the top payouts fluid and truly competitive.
@CG_Kozispoon -- There is a translation problem in the French version of Vader's new passive : if I translate it back in English it reads : "at the start of each encounter DV gets a speed bonus of 8 (...) for every Empire, Sith, Jedi and Rebel allies." (= "Pour chaque allié de l'Empire, Sith, Jedi et Rebelle").
Shouldn't it be "Empire & Sith allies + Jedi & Rebel enemies ?" (="Pour chaque allié Sith ou de l'Empire et chaque ennemi Rebelle ou Jedi")
NOTICE
In our in-game "Powers of the Darkside" Newsletter it mentions that the reworked Darth Vader gains protection up when this is not the case. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. This is strictly a textual error which our team is working to correct today.
Content update notes say, Palpatine Mythic event begins at 18th but in the game it says it will begin in 2 days.
The rework is great, marauder looks simple but efficient and the shard changes speeding up ROLO and probe and letting us farm Starck reliably are a cherry on top. And a new mythic event. This update is pure awesomeness.
Vaders basic didn’t get the rebel bonus. Still only says Jedi. @CG_Kozispoon Just a FYI, not a complaint.
Seems the ability is working as intended (per the rework), but the Ability messaging wasn't updated. Apologies! Shuttling this up to the team now.
I saw others post about the basic and just tried it out against Rebels. Vader's Basic did not automatically give them ability lock upon hitting them.
I just used Vader in Galactic War against a K2 fully buffed with tenacity up. It did correctly apply the ability block. The ability is working, the text hasn’t been updated.
Was Baze Malbus removed from the Guild Events Store or not and if so can you only farm him at the Shipments for Crystals and on his Hard Battle 9C Node or is their somewhere else? Also is he ever gonna come back or did he get replaced by someone else? Also if it was answered already could you please provide a link with a DEV Announcement please?

and this will be the question repeated over and over once again. Seem many just ignore the 80% chance part.

According to the post announcing them:
swgoh.gg: https://swgoh.gg/u/lordterminus/collection/
They destroy the old meta. JTR reigns supreme.
That's pretty sweet! Thanks for the quick reply.
Cheers to a great SWGOH community!
That is meant to be the point of the zeta.
This was the most exciting development in the game for me for a longtime.
Ruined by being released with bugs, and also the ditching Vader into pay to play category
Very sad, I really like this game, but this is not how things should be, just my opinion
Maybe I'll be able to help us get probe Droid now .:P

(Don't know if it affects the mechanics, though)
