I am about to unlock Vader and I am ecstatic. I know he is not all that great and hard to level up and smells funny but c'mon...it's Darth Kenobi Killin Vader. This is one of the reasons I played this to start with. I'm soaking in the glory before I realize he will be on my b team.

In arena, combine him with some debuffers like Sidious and Obi-wan and you will have a lot of fun!
The sound effect of the "force crush" move is by far the best one in the game. Wear a headphone and enjoy it.
Today I get 1 Vader's shard from GW. Maybe it is a signal that he will become farmable in the next update.
Dude that's a nice coincidence, got a Vader shard as reward for completing GW yesterday as well.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
Because he is stuck at 4* for most people. I think at 7* he will have loads of hp and will deal more dmg than you see now.
Gear level is also important and I'm not sure if VII is the current max? If he can go to VIII you can expect him to be a lot more useful.
Wonder if they're planning the same for Yoda? This would be pretty lame!
Except he doesn't drop anywhere but achievements (and the occasional GW)
Even at 4*, he is pretty usable in Arena, if you're building a tanky team. With high Potency and 3 guaranteed DoTs, he's great at bleeding down, especially if used with Sid. Synergizes with IG88. And his Culling Blade can crit for over 10k, if you nail someone with 5 negative status effects.
Problem is, his AI isn't that smart. Arena teams matter most how they do on the defensive. That's where you lose ranking most.
What.
Where I'm at, the struggle is in the position sniping.
There's no such thing as a "defensive" team in the current meta.
Any team geared towards winning on defense is gonna lose, hands down.
And FYI, Vader+Sid+Poe+Ben + (insert tank/nuke char here, AoE is good too) is one of the only team types to have a solid shot at winning on defense vs the glass cannon meta.
Phasma Lead
Vader
Sid
Han/Poe
Daka
The idea being to abuse every aspect of Phasma. You'd do AoE's with Sid, Phasma and Vader, get a speed advantage with Phasma's AoE and your taunt and (hopefully) run some disruption with Daka. Then you'd Victory March to get Culling Blade earlier and try to get some heal blocks with Sid. With a little RNG love Daka could do some serious damage with a stun and/or revive.
I doubt it's a top tier team, but I might gear up my Vader and try it out on some middle nodes in GW.
Vader
Greedo
Sid
Plo Koon
Not sure if the detonator counts as an effect but come rd2 someone's dead!
Here's the arena team I use him for (all 6* except Vader):
Phasma (L)
Kylo
Sid
Lumi
Vader
Phasma (leader)
Sid
Vader
Dooku
Luminara
And they do pretty well.
Come to think of it, his abilities kind of mirror Kylo Ren's. One basic attack with debuff chances, one AOE and then one powerhouse OHK attack. Kylo certainly seems like "Vader Jr" when you think about it.
I use:
Phasma Leader 6* (7* tomorrow)
Kylo 7*
Poe 6*
Sid 6*
Vader 4*
Hit Poe's taunt then AoE sid, kylo, phasma, vader. Score a couple of bonus attacks from phasma's leadership, and you are looking at a team of red and yellow.
I have Vader 29/65 shards and I hope I can get that 5th star. GL 7, 4563 on attacks, and he is power 3648. I keep him fully leveled and I am going to take his gear up to 8+. I have read rumors of people running 5* Vaders. I have never seen someone posting about theirs though.
I run a similar squad. I don't have Poe or kylo so I use Lumi and QGJ or dooku but nothing is as sweet as seeing all those dots on someone and Vader stepping up with a culling blade. Bye bye whoever lol plus his next attack kills or drops another to red. I can't wait to see this guy at 5*
I the same team with Lumi instead of Poe. I only break top 50 though. I will have to try your lineup when I get Poe to 143 speed.
