Each time this ability is used, it deals 60% more damage on subsequent uses and increases by an additional 60% until Maul uses a different ability during his turn.
This is written very confusingly and ambiguously. Can a dev please elaborate?
It raises by 60 and by 60 again? So the second 60 goes away after using another ability? What about the first 60? Until end of battle? Or until end of encounter?
So am I right in thinking that the additional damage is 60% × <number of times this ability is used before in this battle/encounter> + 60% × <this ability is used in a row now> ?
By the way, what happens on revive? Does he remember how many times he did the ability before he died?
Admitely Im new to this game but assuming its an additive 60% on his base damage it would be something like this. Assume his base damage would be 1000.
1st hit = 1600
2nd = 2560
3rd = 4096
4th = 6553
5th = 10485
60% x the number of consecutive uses (in this example 5) would be 300%. 300% on a base damage of 1000 would be 3000 damage on the 5th hit. Increasing by 60% vs the previous damage 5 times would be much higher at 10485 damage.
Again Im new so feel free to let me know that logic is incorrect and Ill delete it.
"Maul’s kit is the first to have a call-out to another specific unit"
Straight from the Dev Insights... do you guys actually play this game?
There are dozens of units with specific call-outs. Even if you assume they meant specific enemy units, both Bastilas callout their opposing Revan.
I don't know what you mean... I can only think of:
- Fives referring to Echo (and vice versa)
- Baze Referring to Chirrut (and vice versa)
- Cassian and K2SO
- Chewie and Han
- Vet Chewie and Han
- Sith Triumvirate
- Hero Finn and Po
- C3PO and R2
- Ahsoka and Kenobi and Anakin
- Anakin and Padme
- HK and Revan
- Bastila (Both) and Revan (Both)
- Mission and Big Z
- MagnaGuard and Grevious
- Death Trooper and Krennic
but I assume none of those guys count as clearly Maul is the first?
surely they mean enemy, but like you say that is still wrong
Enemy - you mean like Mace Windu and the Fett's
Also Bastila Shan has a call out to Darth Revan in her kit...
Maybe they mean the first conquest character...or the first version of Maul...
for a long time, i am really excited about a new toon!
Lord Vader is so far out of reach for most average players but with releasing Maul - most player get a very powerful toon even without getting Lord Vader soon.
hell yeah! would appreciate seeing more of these toons!
so in order to fully use his leader ability, you can only go up against another Mandalorian leader.
O.o
In order to fully use Bastilla's Force Bond ability you can only go up against Darth Revan; didn't seem to be a problem for her, shouldn't be a problem for Maul It's just a nod to lore in order to get something fun out of it.
Sounds like a cool toon - just a shame we know CG is going to nerf him into oblivion if he dare touch a GL
Do you believe Maul is considered a low investment character?
JKL was and he's harder to get.
What timeline do you consider getting maul an equal investment as JKL?
We dont even know the full extent of how the changes will effect players getting the red box, but for starters getting any Conquest character in less than 1 year, requires a 4m GP roster. I believe that, that alone makes them a higher investment than any other event character we have.
FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) Deal true damage to target enemy and inflict Buff Immunity for 2 turns. If Maul has 5 Anguish, increase target enemy's cooldowns by 2 (excludes raid bosses and Galactic Legends). Maul loses 1 stack of Anguish and takes a bonus turn. This attack can't be countered.
Each time this ability is used, it deals 60% more damage on subsequent uses and increases by an additional 60% until Maul uses a different ability during his turn.
This ability can't be used unless Maul has Anguish.

One of the best kits in the game are the duality of the two Bastila's imo
This still doesn’t make any sense. He deserve more a Scoundrel tag. But this game doesn’t surprise me anymore. So much mess 😅

I think those two are the only units other than Maul
Because he killed Mandalore and became Mandalore
You mean Pre Vizsla. There was no longer any Mandalores at that time.
Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.
Who declared himself Mandalore by reestablishing the warrior rule of Mandalore

And the only way to use Gideon’s lead is by using a very specific combination of units.
The offense bonus is just a cherry on top if it happens. The mass assists on all of Maul’s barrage of turns is the main dish.
To be the Man you gotta beat the Man. WHOOO!

Boy I sure hope you're right, because Maul is looking very hard to get.
Is this Cooldown Increase resistable?
At least you saw it...
I once saw someone put peanut butter on a pizza. You're better off.
Too much intrigue.
Thanks for taking one for the team!
I overall like his kit, but as most others said, his lead could definetly use some improved wording.
