Retribution

Can we get rid of anakins fourth ability, it is so overpowered to any character who isn’t able to block if you’re caught in that your dead, either give every other character a fourth ability or take his out.

  • We're not aware of any plans to remove it, however these were the latest changes around Retribution:

    • Reduced the friendly damage charge-up speed of Retribution from 2% per 100 damage to 1,33% per 100 damage
    • Delayed the effect of Retribution by 5 frames
    • Fixed an issue where damage from sources other than enemy players caused Anakin’s Retribution ability to charge up.
    • Anakin’s Retribution ability now has a maximum value increase per damage event.

    I hope they will add the 4th ability to every Heroes/Villains.

    That would be great!

    May the 4th ability be with you, always! :eahigh_file:

    I really support this "fourth ability" idea. I know it'd be a huge undertaking, therefore unlikely, but it could spice up a lot of things.

    Also, I've been saying this since Poe got his fourth ability for his X-Wing. Sure, it's "just a speed boost" - but wait, a lot of hero ships have that as one of their primaries, with only two other abilities remaining...

    The Falcon is by far the most crippled ship - and we're supposed to level up THREE of them! It's extremely slow ("fastest ship in the galaxy", right?), and extremely big. If someone really wants to kill you, he kills you, and that's that. When this "someone" is actually 3 people, then you're basically dead on spawn.

    Rey's version is great with the repair function, but pretty bad in every other way. Hard Lock for the Falcon is totally useless, you just give a reason to your target to be even more evasive - and without speed boost, you can't even make half a turn before your "target" gets behind you and lights your butt up.

    Yes, I am still waiting for the 4th ability. Finger crossed...

    When the Falcon was hugely NERFed(-30% HP NERF! Unbelievable!), I think they will make up for that with something.

    And it is almost a year since then. 😢

    (Basically, I didn't think they need a NERF. Yeah, I thought they need a buf even for the HERO starfighter mode.)

    +40% HP BUF for TIE advanced (and other heroships) was really good though. 🙂
