Palpatine vs other heroes
I've been playing Heroes vs Villains to boost the remaining hero characters to lvl25, and I noticed that the Emperor is just totally useless against any other hero. Is this just me being a noob? Or a...

Yes, I can use him very well in Galactic Assault, it's the HvV I'm having problems with. I know about the jumping tactic, and I'm using both hands (why is it even an option to use one?), it's simply that the general lightning attack seems very weak against heroes - or I'm not hitting my target enough. I'm using Lighting Absorption, Surge of Lightning, and Lightning Reach, all rare tier - so yes, my build is rather for GA. I've also thought about using the card that reduces the stamina drain, because that also happens quite quickly.
But I've also noticed the same thing vice versa, rarely has a Palpatine player killed me in 1v1, even if he used all his abilities, regardless of which hero I was playing as.
I've noticed on occasions he doesn't actually drain health when your using his attack this is clearly bug and yeah you end up as cannon fodder. When his two hand attack is working fine he is very deadly. I often fight of any combination of Rey, Luke and Yoda at any one time you just have to time your dashes and jumps to make sure your not caught in their saber lock. It's trickier with blaster hero's as you need to try and maintain some cover but I find Palpatine can practically drain either Chewbacca or Han Solos health in one stamina gauge provided you catch them on a sneaky one and with his chain lightening immediately after you will finish the job. I also use similar cards in hvv except instead of surge of lightening I use in full control and generally speaking find you can top the leader board unless against a team of ridiculously accurate blaster wielders and even then if you have a good game with Palpatines mobility you can give them a run for their money provided you can zap them at the same time.
