GAC 3vs3 Incoming - Starkiller adjustment?

papaofmom · April 25, 2022 6:27PM

Are you going to adjist Starkiller to 3vs3? If I remember correctly it was promised - yet we have 3vs3 annouced but no Starkiller upgrade for this mode

Does his unique work in 3v3?
We have plans to implement a version of his ability There Is Much Conflict In You to work in 3v3 Grand Arenas before the next occurence of 3v3 GAC is available.

We have 3v3 announced? Is it the next one?

The round starting May 9th.

I was figuring June, ought to be interesting.

MaruMaru · April 25, 2022 6:37PM

Cool. I'll have sk by then. What adjustment does he need though?

He requires 4 specific characters in order to gain “Pull it out of the sky” ability. The criteria are impossible to meet in 3vs3 as you have only 2 spots

Not to mention his omicron and unique also need these 4 specific characters to work. So no boost in 3v3 with shiny new ability.

MasterSeedy · April 25, 2022 6:46PM

His unique is what makes him close to GL-worthy, but it requires

Exactly:
1 Sith
1 Jedi
1 DS Unaligned Force User
1 LS Unaligned Force User
+ SK

On a 5 toon squad, that fills everything up nicely. On a 3 toon squad it's literally impossible, so you're completely prevented from using his most powerful abilities (including just as an example making himself and all allies immune to stun, but it goes beyond that).

how will they fix this? No one is sure. Perhaps they'll allow a LS version and a DS version where if you're 3v3 you an activate the ability using SK + exactly 1 Sith & 1 DS UFU, or SK + Exactly 1 Jedi & 1 LS UFU. Would that mean that you gain slightly different bonuses? No one knows. There has been talk about 2 versions of 3v3, one LS one DS, but there's been no word at all from CG and the easiest thing for CG is just to make the bonuses exactly the same, but activated with fewer characters.

With no word yet from CG, we have no clue what the adjustment will actually be.

We're due for a State of the Galaxy this week to show the next Conquest character so perhaps it'll be in the notes on that post.

RameusYYC · April 25, 2022 6:47PM

I mean they didn’t force me to spend 3 omicrons on one character, but they sure are tone deaf if they don’t provide some kind of bonus for Starkiller for the 3v3 events.

mariogsh · April 25, 2022 6:48PM

We still have no word on the other P1 or P2 gear changes and you're expecting to get info on SK in 3v3? lol

Ragnarok_COTF · April 25, 2022 6:51PM

Ugh... well... it'll be nice to mentally check out of GAC for 6 weeks, I guess.

Morgoth01 · April 25, 2022 6:51PM

They did state that Gideon and SK would have kit reworks for 3v3 before next 3v3 when they moved crystals to GAC.
If they stick to that… anyones guess until something is officially confirmed

MaruMaru · April 25, 2022 6:55PM

I see now. This is quite an essential issue to address. Though can't say I'm getting my hopes up that they will before 3-4 months of crying about it.

Ravens1113 · April 25, 2022 6:57PM

CG: Changes? What changes?

I’d rather stick needles in my eye

Sewpot · April 25, 2022 9:26PM

Just wondering if this will be addressed? Was talk about it before.

Ralakili0383 · April 25, 2022 9:40PM

He's not the only toon whose kit does not work as well in 3v3 as it does in 5v5. Gideon lead says hello there.
SK can shin in 5v5.

Oh man, I'm doomed if I can't use Gideon lead. My entire GAC strategy is built around him.

Looking at your gg, you should probably change your strategy.

Maverick1213 · April 25, 2022 9:57PM

Gideon is a marquee (yes, his lead should still be adjusted for 3v3). But Starkiller is a character that many people invested somewhat heavily into in order to boost their GAC performance. To diminish his usefulness in GAC is a huge slap in the face to those who invested in him.

TargetEadu · April 25, 2022 10:32PM

They did say they’d change both Starkiller and Gideon, though.

Don't know anything about Gideon, but on devs insight regarding Starkiller, they mentioned it

"Does his unique work in 3v3?

I think SK was in the kit reveal or dev insights?

I don't remember Gid.

Haha that's what i get for leaving the tab open for 10 minutes.

I humbly submit that he doesn't need those 4 specific characters to gain "pull it out of the sky". Those 4 characters grant bonuses like health and speed and such.

Yes you are absolutely right, thank you! Without those bonuses its literally impossible to get it vs good team in GAC but I should be more specific
