    he isn't OP enough tbh, he really needed that auto taunt at the start of the encounter to blow everything out of the water.

    That’s why you still use sith trooper.

    Calling it now. New meta will be DR, dbasty, hk, malak and SiT.
  • Plus, he'll come back.

    Shame by the time you can use him at 7*, his event will return and whales will only be able to use them the same time as everyone else in other game modes like raids since everyone will be saving GET at the same rate P2P or F2P

    Yep...and the clone wars meta will start up right about then as well.

  • Do you have him 7* and g12+? Because his stats are insane. He has incredibly high stats and a pretty good kit.
  • First day of event, 5* only, no practice...

    Is that thread a form of autohypnosis or you cannot convince yourself and searching for support?)

    Well, you can't practice on arena defense, and my CLS team ripped right through the two DR/Malak teams I saw in just over a minute.

    I heard CLS can kill Revan teams too. Does that mean that Revan is not necessary character? Or Traya? And many others?
    And Revan kill CLS in less then a minute. CLS is not necessary too

    None of those characters require you to gear and level 10 toons, but hey

    Generally, toons that require you to land debuffs won't be too strong in HSTR, and we already have plenty of options for soloing PIT/HAAT. DR is big on fear, which bosses are immune to, so I'd say he's not designed to be good in raids (or at least, our current raids).

    From abovmentioned Traya required you to gear and level more then 10 toons. (Unless you are in the guild that do everything for you). And for Malak majoruty use at least half of those toons in arena so just 5 to gear :)

    I remember people crying that they have to collect and gear phoenix when Thrawn event was announced and phoenex were absolutely useless trash at those times and their collecting was consederate to be unprecedentally expensive for swgoh....

    I'm not disappointed because I'm not stupid enough to drop that kinda cash on a mobile game just to have a toon on day 1.

    This, my 5* Malak agrees. It was an anticlimax, if I’m honest. I feel silly putting a 5* in arena with my leftover 5 dot mods. All my best mods are now 6e.

    Hey, at least we don't have to feel bad about putting a zeta on his cringe-worthy ability "Jaws of Life." Did they run out of time brainstorming ability names?

    Fear is awesome in a palp team for all the raids, my badstila inflicts all the regular debuffs with speed down instead of fear and stagger, debuffs land almost faultlessly. I feel both tarkin and vader both have an easier time landing debuffs with badstila on the team as well.

    As someone who focused hard on Phoenix right from the start, and have them all g12.5 + and all zetas.. Those ppl had no idea what they were talking about. They can destroy every team except revan, Drevan, or bastilla on offense. That's their role, they weren't built to defend well.

    Darth revan actually holds much better than ppl give it credit for. my 300+ speed jkr crew lost before to a maxed Darth revan team with full Sith empire, after one tiny mistake.

    People make assumptions based on their personal experience, and don't want to admit that more often than not, it's usually just their shard group. Some ppl still have gg, jtr, cls, etc in the top five, after all..

    I see this argument about 10 toons crop up everywhere, but it's still false. You may not have to gear them up to high levels, but both RJT and CLS require 10 characters to unlock. Sure it's only 5 apiece for the actual event itself, but keep in mind that both of those Journey characters ALSO require a Legendary (BB8 and R2, respectively), which require 5 characters of their own (from completely different factions, to boot).

    It was gonna cost me 60k in crystals just to gear up my final 3 toons, zaalbar mission and juhani. Just to be able to enter event. No thanks
  • Honestly having spent a lot on refreheses with my shardmates I can tell ya he is pretty underwhelming right now. JKR has a tough time still but not unbeatable, EP/Vader kinda died but EP/traya can win fairly easily. It did help slightly in mirror matches and even having slower DR win 85% now which was bascially 0 if your Dr was slower you usually never recovered. Opening taunt would be great, but he still needs a bit more hes extremely squishy even with the zeta when you figure DR teams one shot a lot. Overall good addition but not meta defining by any means yet. I can see why they are tweaking him.
  • I have all G12 except t3m4. Solid mods and still lost with 5-6 armor shred stacks on Malak. As a dolphin-spender, I'm just about done with this game for good. This has been the biggest slap in the face, after the Grievous roll-out. Out of the 200 attempts, I've won none for light side.

    Way too soon to make that call. Im at gear 11, working to get 4 of 6 pieces attached (have 2/6 done)... but i have no zetas.

    He may be ok with all 4 pieces and both zeta. He may not. But until you get to gear 12 and 7 star its hard to weigh in on him totally.

    A 5 star traya is destroyed b6 jedi revan... is traya bad?
  • A guy in my shard has Malak maxed out already with insane mods and he is no joke. Can't really compare that to 5* Malaks.
  • In my shard, no one has even been able to get him.
    Dont go for darth cash this time folks, just not really worth it.
    Get good and get a Revan. Ryanwhales

    I an talking about times when Thrawn event was *first* announced. And that is much before the time you are talking about. Before 12.5+, before phoenix were remade to became a little bit worthy... At the beginning they were trash.

    I don't know about the OP's claim, but the truth is unless you have 80k G.E.T lying around it will take several months to get him to seven star. I'm farming hyoda right now and got him to 5 star. I calculated it would take me about 3 months to get him to seven star, and Malak is double his cost. So best start saving Guild tokens now, and complete the event ftp next time it comes out. Then you should be able to seven star him possibly even before or at the same time as some whales.
