    Anyone else feel like the cool down is a bit long. I’d think more like a six or seven would be more appropriate. But then again I haven’t seen it in action yet.

    I think it's fine. Considering you can get Vader to take 4-5 turns in a row at the beginning, it makes sense. That, and he only removes the debuff from one enemy at a time.

    Man, doing this and reworking Mace.... you'll get all the love you deserve!
  • Darth_Uuchi this ability gives Vader 6 bonus turns of course that 9 turn cooldown is enough

    This is the funniest thing I have seen all day. Good job @CG_SBCrumb. Glad to see you've escaped the many folds of Jabba.
    That's Mr. Oops to you!
  • Will there be a touch up on his damage?
    Given that he has the possibility to take up to 6 turns before anyone else on the field, I'm gonna say he does not need a damage boost.

    @CG_SBCrumb can we get a confirmation that you did a vader force choke when you found out the road ahead was delayed last week?

    You are in command now Admiral Piett...

    Like that but with a kowakian monkey-lizard
    Is merciless target considered a debuff? Can it be dispelled? - @CG_SBCrumb _SB
    Its a blue Status effect and not dispellable (Not that you would have time to)

    The cooldown starts immediately and you can take up to 5 turns. It goes much faster than you would think
  • @CG_SBCrumb -- does the AI use this ability first, and is it coded to prioritize targets with merciless target?
  • This looks absolutely epic. I am looking forwards to this.

    It doesn't. Dev Insights post recommends using the new ability on Vader's first or second turn.

    @CG_SBCrumb
    So is that confirmation that the road ahead is definitely coming this week? After all the one responsible for the delay is dead and surely their replacement is not as clumsy or stupid as to incur your wrath 😂

    Vader should start with it most of the time and he prioritize Merciless Targets over anything else

    It does not start on cooldown and can be used immediately

    In typical SWGOH fashion, Admiral Piett confirmed?

    The designer, CG_Miller, pointed out we didn't include what buffs Merciless gives to Vader besides the immunity to Fear and Turn Meter manipulation. So for those folks asking about if Vader is going to be able to do more damage...

    Merciless: +50% Offense, +25% Critical Chance, and +50% Critical Damage; immune to Fear and Turn Meter manipulation

    I’d argue his lead is now very good due to this special ability

    So he's turning his head and legs one way and his torso the other (as show by the misalignment of his belt and chest piece), while his coat/cape (attached to his shoulders/torso) looks like its facing in both direction?
    That doesn't look like a very natural pose to me. :/

    Agree. He can keep the TM reduction running for a long time now.

    1. Thanks for all this communication today, its really refreshing.
    2. Can you give us an idea on what day the road ahead is?
    3. Does this effect the event Vader in the JKL event with would make it harder?

    Yes but that shouldn't lead to a suit you're wearing to get that out of line. Turn your torso right now and see how far your shirt moves off center without your pants doing likewise

    1. Thank you folks for being awesome! Glad to help
    2. Unfortunately I can't give you an exact date at the moment. We are looking to share it by the end of this week but subject to change
    3. These changes should not impact the event version of Darth Vader

    I guess Crumb didnt use Merciless Target in his Road Ahead meeting. Kyno WINK* Does this news mean that we will not get the RA until at least Thursday? I base this off the drip drip drip of info that is your style.

    Not my style.
