"Anakin has bad stamina" - Debunking the myth

@PsyEd2k4The thing is, people can't really put up HvH because the game is not primarily balanced around this mode.

Like you said, it has only the base decrease when you use the lightsaber dmg card, just like Grievous.

With the difference that Grievous can recharge or escape just by using his abilities.

For greater modes I don't use any of the dmg cards for Grievous or Anakin because they can just go on a rampage and do one-hit kills with their abilities far more easily with the right cards.

For HvH I don't use Anakin's dmg card either because he has no such abilities that allow him to get out of combat in order to regenerate stamina in the meantime. So I go with the stamina card and drop the dmg card entirely, it really helps in prolonged combat. It's funny to make e.g. Maul players look dumb with it.

In doubt defensive cards are better for HvH imo because they can really help in critical situations and turn the tide while good offensive dmg stats are of little use when the opponent just decides to turtle behind his block/parry or dodges away and lag is not always going to help you.

I normally don't use stamina cards, but for Anakin I make an exception because of reasons named above and because the card increases both offensive and defensive stamina.

The same sometimes for Dooku and Luke, but that depends from how my opponents are playing.
