1. Raids need to reward those who don't attack. It may work fine for a T6 over a day or two, but we are forced to wait for hours until all 50 people get a swing in for our heroic raids. This punishes those who were ready to go at raid time, but miss out on damage while we wait for Charlie to take his morning shower. FIX IT.2. Evasion has ruined diversity. Make Ben's leader apply to ONLY Jedi, and Dooku to apply to ONLY sith, and so on. This would be a mild change, but would have an immediate impact. Leader abilities that affect the whole team in this manner are simply too powerful to choose anyone else. FIX IT.

I agree with both of these. Unless your guild is small and you can actually contribute there isn't a point to wasting your time with the raids. And I think Phasmas leader ability should only work with FO toons as well. Make synergy important and people will be happy. They actually didn't waste their time making their favorite toons good for them to be awful competitively.

Yes! There should be no blanket leader ability. Period. That's how you end up with these insane meta's with absolutely no synergy. Synergy needs to be the second most looked at issue for next major update, next to potency. Either have synergy bonuses, specific leader abilities, or those with blanket leader abilities, make them minimal.

FIX IT.This is a FANTASTIC idea. I think I mentioned somewhere else that synergy should be the next meta. Also, with so many anti Jedi toons out there, they need to introduce a Jedi that's anti Sith. I'm on the fence with Phasma and her lead. The Sith and Jedi are relatively easy farms. First Order, not so much per se.

Wait, isn't there only 4 First Order toons?

2 changes that need to happen ASAP...

Luminara and Maul already grant evasion to specifically Jedi or Sith. With so few Sith in the game, you really want two with the exact same leader ability?

People always talk about the gap between FTP and P2P. How many FTP are going to be able to field decked out synergy teams? The only reason most can compete in arena is because they have leader abilities that are universal and cover the squad they were able to pull together and level up.

It will be the P2P that will be running maxed out clone teams, Ewok teams, etc.

It's surprisingly easy to make synergy team. The first couple of chromium a I opened when I was just starting the game and completely F2P I got Leia, Luke, and some Scout shards to star him up. Han is farmable and so is Askbar. This is one of the most whale-ish synergy teams in the game and I unlocked them all before hitting level 50. Plus once you actually put your time to farm certain toons it is very easy to farm just that toon. I get what you are saying but it isn't that hard to farm specific toons.

I bet you run a squad that doesn't have synergy. It's a mechanic in the game already but it sucks. They need to boost synergy. If any devs read this, synergy will get you so much money becuase people will by packs to get their toons, or they will buy crystals to refresh their farming for their favorite toons. Either way they would be making more money.

Who gives a toss about synergy-send in G10 Rey, match finishes in under a minute!

Until my QGJ lead Jedi team with Aayla and Eath Koth stuns her and she gets wrecked.

#2 would have to be for everyone. Phasma only grants extra attacks to first order, Ackbar only grants extra attacks when a rebel does a non attack move, Bariss only gives health up and health at the start of turns to Jedi. It would have to be across the board with any leader ability that affects all allies.

No, leave Phasma alone.

As with others like Lumi, you get the full bonus for synergy, half for everyone else. If you wanna give dodge to everyone and damage up to Sith only, Dooku is manageable. Same with Ben.

The game shouldn't be ALL synergy, generic should have a place too.

I do like the raid credit idea...simple fix and its a good quality of life change for the game.

As for synergy rework...I partially agree. I think the synergy system could be reworked but it shouldn't be as simple as all X or Y. I characters with multiple synergies or blanket ones that make sense AND some that "Pure" way to approach it.

A really nuanced system would go by specific character and not just faction. I've played a couple games that use character based and not just faction based synergy and you can have a lot of fun mixing and matching.

Take Lando for example...let him keep both scoundrel and rebel synergy. The effect he gives scoundrels could be critical hit chance buff but the synergy he gives rebels might be turn meter buff.

It's unfair to them when the heroic raids get finished in 30 minutes. At least put them on the bottom of the rewards as a courtesy. It's not like their leeching rewards from you.

@Kopfschuss do a higher tier raid. You be finishing in 30 minutes that's crazy. People who don't do anything don't deserve anything. Stop trying to make this a socialist game.

Heroic is as high as it gets...sadly all top guilds can agree that the heroic raid is finished very quickly.
