It's really not as bad as you mentioned, though, especially if you're playing against the AI and not on the receiving end of an attack. Have to manually control him to try for a basic attack crit to have the best chance of two crits or more. I mean, I usually don't in PvE and it really depends on the enemy team comp for PvP. But it's not a guaranteed thing, despite his crazy crit passive and the statistically decent chance of two out of five hits critting, even when teamed with a Sidious. Overall, he is very powerful, but not relatively broken like Leia and Ben are. At least not at base rank, since I assume he only gets insanely more powerful with each star. I shudder to think of a 6 star, let alone a 7 star level 60.
But I digress. He's still very squishy at the rank I have experience with, and definitely manageable if the enemy does not have some completely cancer setup, of which there aren't a crazy amount of that solely revolve around a strong attacker, AoE crits or not. Or maybe there are, I'm fairly casual lol. Hope you get him in a Bronzium one day, as he is definitely fun to use in light side campaign missions. Make those dumb Stormtroopers and pirates a stain on the earth, thinking they're so smart for bringing more homies. More free crits.
edit: Had to change the censored word to dumb, which is, well... stoopid?
I just threw vader into my aoe team, haven't had a chance to test him in pvp yet, what do you think of him? I love the way his character model looks.
Overall, I feel like he will still get outperformed by farmable, high rank heroes. Even supports like Luminara and Phasma, damage and/or debuff control-wise (Phasma maybe less so for raw damage, not counting the leader skill), but he is a great hero to use with certain teams. Not sure about an AoE team if you're going for raw damage AoE, like Sidious, Lando and er... I don't actually know who is good raw damage besides them. He is more about setting up debuffs for his execute and strategically disabling with ability block. Still, not bad with the AoE stacking/debuff application of Sidious and Kylo, if you can get him. That's my preferred setup. Even though both Kylo and Vader have some weaknesses, they complement eachother well and make up for them. Kylo being the somewhat durable damage/AoE retribution replacement for Dooku, and Vader being the fairly tanky (at least he feels that way in comparison to Kylo, who I believe just has high HP) controller and execution specialist, if Kylo weakens them first with his higher raw damage.
Sorry for being so wordy about your answer. I didn't actually give much good information regarding your question, but I think if you like the character's ability mechanics and visual design, go for it. He has done well by me in various different setups, at least in Galactic War. Should do well enough in your AoE comp too, with the proper support for his abilities. Have fun with him.
Thank you for the response, yeah my current team with vader is Sidious, Boba, Kylo, Lumi, and Vader. So lots of debuffs and solid aoe damage.
Forgot to add, that's a 1 star TIE pilot too.
