LSTB Phase 4 SM

Why does the Special Mission that hard requires Ki-Adi Mundi and Shaak Ti forces us to use KAM lead? Can this be changed? KAM has no leadership ability so he doesn’t need to occupy the first slot

I haven’t seen a thread or post on it so I included it here since it’s the only thread related to P4 right now
its still early in the day there, let them have a chance to address this and then you can provide your feedback about it.
Let me ask about this.
it was pointed out that Shaak Ti lead wouldn't do anything either.
Here's the deal:
The designers didn't want to break up the JKR Jedi squad you'd use in other combat missions.
So why not use Shaak-Ti as the leader? Given her leader ability has no effect without Clones present, it wouldn't matter which of those two appear in the leader slot, and the decision was made to "showcase" KAM a bit more by putting him in that slot.
I asked why not place someone such as Aayla in the leader slot? The designer stated it would add another required unit (including the task of having to Relic up another unit you might not want to invest in) as a barrier to entry.
So, the decision to balance the mission around no leader ability was made and implemented.
So that we could use a future GR Jedi? The KAM mission has one required unit (ARC) and it lets us choose our leader (Cody, Fives, Shaak Ti)
Even though Shaak Ti is the obvious and best choice for that SM, we have the option to use another clone trooper if CG releases any in the future, and some have tried and cleared it with Fives, so some players who already have a 7* KAM and want to experiment / play around with it have the option of having some fun
Can you please ask the devs to reconsider locking KAM in 4th slot so we can use Bariss, GAS + Ahsoka, etc?
Given other combat missions (KAM Shard SM), it doesn't seem like you need a leader required
Only ARC required, but the leader slot is empty. I do agree, Shaak Lead is useless here so locking her in any other slot wouldn't cause an issue
You don't need to require or relic up any other unit for this SM such as cody, as shown in the KAM SM
I'm not even close to play phase 4 on LSGeo TB, even worse for obtaining even 1 KAM shard, but I agree...
Even the worst leadership ability would help, instead of having none; they should lock KAM and Shaak Ti on the 4th and 5th slot
I think thats kind of the point, they would have to balance the mission for the best one and then make it "semi required" to have for the mission.
this way its a simpler balancing process and no need to worry about breaking it later on.
Spot on.
Because everything about LS TB shows that leadership abilities are necessary
I'm sure they never balanced LS TB with Galactic Legends in mind (since the kits were never finalized or created when LS TB was launched) but we are able to use them, as content gets older, it gets easier to clear, so I don't really buy that argument
EDIT: Well, I guess this is intended, so that's that
You can close the thread
They are all “semi required” at high gear anyway because of the insane difficulty.
But it really depends on how difficult the battle is to win.. Is the requirement justified?
It shouldn’t be this way.
Ok closed.
On your last comment, you put the cart before the horse.
They most likely tests the GLs in those areas and do some kit balancing to not let them be too crazy. Also it's just 1 mission per phase, they may not hold too much on what a GL can do in TB. If anything they want to make sure they can do it.
