Is his first special supposed to be named the same as Lord Vader’s first special?
her spaming her ignore protection attack is going to be sick.
LSUFU: Visas
DSUFU: Kylo
Jedi Tank: OB
Sith: Dooku
How’d that go?
Scav Rey and Ahsoka Tano Fulcrum aren't needed anywhere else. So those are options as well.
I think is a 3 tank combo. And after SK unleashed he solo the whole team ?
DSUFU: KRU
JEDI tank: Kenobi
But the problem is that there is no proper leadership. The one leadership i can think of is sidious, but that leadership is old and need a buff
1. Create another toon for the leadership of unaligned force user (Rahm Kota)
2. Write the leadership role into SK. Make him the leader that binds it together.
3. Or u can rewrite his kit to have solo abilities. Similar to protection regen (Nest) or health regen. He is an assassin after all ....
If the following critierals are met, all unit gain the following bonus:
1. 50% change to a random ally and SK to assist
2. +30 speed to all allies
3. For every buff dispelled, SK recover 5% protection. For every debuff, SK recovers 5% health. All allies gain defense up / protection and health recover for 2 turns.
Old ben lead I guess? His is one of the few that can just benefit anyone.
Dark Side and UFU means you can use him with GL Jedi Consular while Maul leads the mandalorians.
Given the fact that Starkiller is far more accessible than Lord Vader, it's a pretty swift kick in the gut to be told something like that. It's a huge design oversight.
If you watched Cubs' interview with the devs earlier today, they said that in a future update they are going to be updating SK and Gideon so that their uniques work in 3v3. They said "soon TM", so no telling how far out it actually is, but at least it's on their radar.
Ah, I didn't see that Cubs had an interview - that's good to hear. My concerns are alleviated for now.
I think he would have been joining LV in arena teams if that was still a thing. But it's not. With the roster use needed in GAC I doubt it.
CFH asked if he was the first basic zeta excluding GLs.
Good old CFH, never change.
It is, right?
GAS was the first.
I think so, if you’re not counting something like Bad Batch. Daka, IG11, and Magmatrooper all could damage extra opponents but not all of them. (But notably, that wasn’t limited to just their turns… although their damage isn’t very high anyway.)
Is GAS the only other non-GL Zeta Basic?
No, Gas was
well....is he?
