This is depressing for anyone who likes buffs.

Anyhow, the kit is awesome.

Thank you for the quick response
bb8/r2 of course, but the new droid meta?
t3-m4, ok...
i.e. Han has 3 stacks of Translation and so has +30% Potency, or there are 15 stacks of Translation on the team and so he has +150% Potency?
Revan does start with Tenacity up, and Bast gets a lot of it, which you will need to go up against this one. be interesting what people come up with because wow, that's a lot of abilities. Seven. Then I look at characters that have like 3 that all almost do nothing and some even capping with MkIII's... man there is so many outdated characters in this game, lol.
I'm just glad he looks like he will shake things up much more then Chewy. Would have been better to have focused on Ewoks over BH's apparently
I think the idea is that he opens with the Mind Tricks, hopefully landing a bunch of Ability Block - then confuse can take over from there keeping the enemies from using their specials, and hopefully burning down a few in the process. Or at least that's what I picture.
He's in the Res squad. Pretty sure they were just trying to highlight the diverse toons C3 works with.
You're asking do ewoks gain +300% critical damage or just +70% critical damage? I think it's pretty obvious which one it is. Imagine C-3PO giving +300% Potency, Critical Damage, that would be insanely overpowered. I can see why there's confusion but unless the devs just wanted to make a god-character then there's only one conclusion.
Sounds like you've played this game before.
They'll fix them as soon as he beats Revan.
At least there’s the r2 synergy there.
I think it’s pretty cool he makes Ewoks better.
true, problem is thinking meta teams that won't work against Revan since they are immune to a quick old ben doing mind tricks, and I guess against Traya the tm removal still works, but Old ben still seems out of place there. Doing the old CLS/Han/Chewy/C3po/R2 Though, I could see that doing some good work. Han would hit so hard on his turn that he could easily take out whoever he wanted to.
Ah true, missed that one, I think mainly cause I was focused around the CLS squad, but for RJT I could see C3po doing some good work.
He does look diverse and it will be interesting to see how effective he is in game, can't wait to use him against raid bosses.
Resistance C3PO should be a red armed variant. Would have helped spread out these 7 abilities also, and given room to add the noticeably absent droid synergies.
R2 is the same way. Droids don't age.
Touché. Forgot about that.
Yep, this.
And really, his last 3 uniques are pretty much just if you took Number Crunch and split it out for each faction instead of lumping them all together. I don’t have a problem with it.
