Think you misspelled his name
What surprises me the most is that this and future lifter units will have omicrons
Yes - how long now before CAT / Maul get Omicrons.
Oh right, I don’t have Rey. Carry on!
I would think just GL Rey (because that is her whole name in game), except that in the following omicron paragraph, it is spelled out as specifically GL Rey there, casting doubt on the meaning in the previous paragraph.
Nah, have you seen his actual fight choreography in the movie? These are better 🤣
Any Rey in the lead slot. Dev Insight post has it written more clearly:
"While Ben Solo is alive, any version of Rey in the Leader spot can't be defeated. Ben Solo can't be defeated while Rey is above 50% health"
His animations are very lazy tho. Aside from his shrug on his 2nd special, his animations are pretty **** basic and reused.
If you need to make a character that shuts down another's mechanic this blatantly, it means the character this is supposed to counter is too broken but you outright refuse to nerf them. Bias this obvious is very insulting.
Can't be killed by CAT's leap, Annihilate, Disintegrate etc.
(Next conquest toon to lift SLKR)
It's what 50R-T has. It means things that instantly defeat enemies don't work on them (like Nihilus' "Annihilate", Commander Ahsoka Tano's "Force Leap", and Grand Inquisitor's "Ready to Die".

A bunch of bad guys just hanging around looking pretty waiting for the designated next in line to do a move. Sounds like the movies to me 😀
