Rework Vader for Fathers Day

with the anniversary of the empire strikes back and fathers day, this is such a banging opportunity to announce a rework to Vader to go with that slightly updated new skin

if there was ever a reason to justify a rework this would surely be it but sadly we know that nothing will come of it. I know that reworks don't make them much money which is why we haven't had tones but surely they should have jumped on this opportunity, there won't be a better excuse to rework arguably Star Wars most iconic character

    Kyno did implied something about that when Vader's kit got the visual upgrade with JK Luke release. ;)

    Nothing like the face of Star Wars being so weak in this game.
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?

    Weak is certainly not the word for it, he hits harder than most toons at r7. Outdated would be more on point. He just needs a little more flavour in his kit to keep up with all these new mechanics that's been added to the game.

    It would be nice if he had a strong sinergy with JK Luke. That would certainly make the idea of farming for the character more appealing.

    What like a father and son team-up? For the love of Cthulu please no. Vader is an awesome evil sith lord and he should stay that way only more killy.

    I’m just happy with the Happy Father’s Day gifts we got from CG. They understand it’s about the little things!

    Correct! He is a top tier char for me! Still a part of my Arena squad. I stay in the 60-80 range in Arena.

    I’m sorry but Vader is not even a ‘B team’ tier character.

    Don’t get me wrong I like Vader but in game he’s not good at all

    Vader would be 100% better with just a small change to his kit.

    Remove this sentence from his lead "While Darth Vader is alive, enemies immediately regain Damage Over Time for 2 turns whenever Damage Over Time expires on them."

    Add it to his unique.

    I think a Vader rework is absolutely coming - but not in time for the JKL event since he is a major player in it.

    I'd expect that the rework comes along in the next two weeks though. That will give a boost to those looking to unlock JKL on the second pass. From a business perspective it makes sense, that will push some people on the fence for unlock round two if Lando/Vader get reworks and are useful characters after the fact.

    Meh. That would require like 8 hours of development work. That's way to much of a stretch effort for CGs developer.

    Thats too expensive.

    I think it’s coming soon, just not until after the 25th because of Luke’s event.
    I have a bad feeling about this.

    It's funny to see this minutes after the post went out.

    Who’s getting fired for reworking a character that we already geared up? The CG I know won’t stand for this.

    Depends on how you use him!
