Cad Bane in GW

Jetrology · May 16, 2016 10:24AM

So who's excited to finally have this guy in Galactic Wars store? Any ideas when he'll be available?

Akster · May 16, 2016 10:27AM

Probably no one that has heard how absolutely terrible a character he is. There are a dozen+ much much better people for everyone to farm.

DarthBalls · May 16, 2016 11:44AM

He might not be DPS... But he doesn't have an awful kit

Darth_Sheckler · May 16, 2016 12:16PM

Cad Bane is a terrible addition. Options that should be farmed prior include lumi, teebo, poggle, ig 86, rp, tusken and phasma... still after those i would be unsure if cad bane would be the next best...

Chewplebcca · May 16, 2016 12:18PM

I'm the vocal minority looking forward to being able to max Cad. I have plans for him with my scoundrel team.

gobears21 · May 16, 2016 1:10PM

Cad is about the only toon that promoting to convert extra shards for the shard shop makes you think you're happier with your credits lol....

JediGhost117 · May 16, 2016 1:15PM

Out of the money I've spent on this game I've got Cad Bane 10 shards away from 7* and I'm mad. Every single time he popped up I raged and turned off my phone. I'm just hoping a scoundrel event comes out so I can use him more than just a back up.

1AmYourFath3r · May 16, 2016 1:17PM

RG, Dooku, Daka, Ventress, and Bane. You now have a five person stun team. I hate to admit defeat, but this might be the closest to stacking stuns as we'll ever get.

Timitock · May 16, 2016 1:18PM

I love how everyone condemns a character they have never used.

isreal · May 16, 2016 1:47PM

I have him 7* g8

I only use him with the stunners to fight the savage oppress challenge

Akster · May 16, 2016 1:49PM

I love how people assume no one has ever used a character.

I have used him. He has low damage, low health, low speed, a stun on a 3 turn cooldown which is only 'ok' if you use it on a jedi with 50%+ turn metre. He can stun glove QGJ after QGJ has already taken a turn and given his team offense up, then becomes an easy kill.

Even those that have not used him should see that he is bad by looking at his numbers, as he does not have many abilities to his kit, and the abilities he does have relies on the target being a jedi to even be considered anywhere near 'ok'

garublador · May 16, 2016 2:15PM

Apparently he's great for raids, though. Reducing turn meter is very effective there.

No, no, no, you heard them, he is horrible, end of discussion...

Jetrology · May 16, 2016 2:22PM

Looks like I'm farming magmatrooper or resistance pilot then..

It is because all these people will only use "meta' heroes instead of getting creative with their teams and enjoying the full potential of the game.

You will disappoint me if you don't build this team and take it to #1.

If ever that data mined info about a scoundrel event happens, you'll all be glad cad is for the grabs.

LRMoser · May 16, 2016 3:51PM

I have Cad pretty high leveled up and I think people saying he is worthless are overstating it. He is not like RG, Rey, or QGJ who work well with almost any team in any mode (areana, GW, ect). In general Cad gets the best value when he is the lead (I run Cad, Greedo, Lando, Chewy, and Fett) because his evasion and Turn Meter increase. Cad is squishy, slow, and to just do an ok amount of damage he has to double shot and his stun cool down takes too long to refresh but his value comes with synergy.

Arena- He is really not useful because there are so many much better teams you can make. There are just not many really strong scoundrels to make a team viable in arena.

GW- I use this team until they die (usually around Node 3-4 due to no healing). I use Cad to stun biggest threat or on Jedi healer. That is his role on this team

Raids- Like everyone else says Turn Meter reduction works really well against Rancor and works well vs. pigs when I use him with Rex, Jin, Chewy, and Tuskin Raider. Kiled the guards and then kept TM down.

Cantina/Light/Dark- Don't know I sim all these battles.

Challenges- use him all the time vs. Savage

If you do choose to farm Cad make sure to have Chewy really high too. They seem to work the best together because gets a bunch of TM increases because of taunt and it allows him to heal before getting taken out.

I'm nearly there. 7* RG, almost 7* daka and Ventress, 6* Bane, and just unlocked Dooku (accidentally). Dooku will be an easy farm to 7. I have EK and yoda right now, which I could use as a substitute for Dooku arena.

I will hunt down everyone who mocked my stacking stuns! And those pigs... I'll show them too!

I'll show everyone!

Fighton · May 16, 2016 4:09PM

Cad is a huge disappointment , u can find utility, for almost any toon. But for a crono only toon from launch, he just sucks. That's where all the cad bitterness comes from. I say farm him n join us , atleast you'll get him for free, n after u witness how underwhelming he is ( he does have his moments ) u can join the cad "why does he blow" family.

Wolverine · May 16, 2016 5:49PM

@CG Jesse mentioned that shards of CB is now available in GW shpmt. .I have yet to see him there. Does anyone have him available there ?.if so why am I not seeing him. Can Jesse please care to comment. Is it exclusive to only a select few ?
Thanks.

SlyKrysis · May 16, 2016 5:55PM

He will show up with the next update.

He's pretty useless as a character though, but he will be there soon.

Is is very useful in non-heroic raids. He has 100% chance at TM reduction and stun on his special. He is never going to equal QGJ or Rey but he's far from the Ugnaughts of the world.

RidleyGiggity · May 16, 2016 5:58PM

I was just planning of hoarding GW tokens for him then i read every comment in here and immediately took Teebo shards instead and i'll follow up that up with some RP shards too

It really bugs me when people describe characters as useless.
It is rarely true.

Kevez · May 16, 2016 6:06PM

There is so much negativity on this forum. They almost certainly track data on this game, and almost certainly some people will farm Cad (including some that never bought chromiums and had him unlocked). When lots of people, especially f2p (which they do keep track of for aurodium), have Cad unlocked but not used, they almost certainly will look at him like they did RG.

I am not saying that post buff he will be meta, because he only needs to be viable, but I hope he becomes the next meta. So the ones that enjoy upgrading their favorite characters and looking at future potential can enjoy a long swim with the whales before the rest.

When do you see Bane in an arena team? How about GW? What about raids?

Oh, he's just fodder on a D or an E team.
