SBC: Where does Padmé fit best in the game?
CGF: Padmé is a leader of the Galactic Republic squad and should be very competitive in PvP. Our goal is for her squad to sit alongside Darth Revan (without Malak) and Jedi Knight Revan squads in terms of power level and competitive viability.

While you are correct we don't have Padme available to us currently, word from the testers is that Padme doesn't have an easy time against DR (w/malak) in 5's and in 3s she stands no chance. Obviously that's from a relatively small test base but I for one am not holding my breath that Padme will affect this at all.

I’m well aware of what they posted in the insights post. It doesn’t make any specific reference to 3v3, and nothing I’ve heard coming out of the testing has specifically mentioned how she fared in 3v3. Having 1/3 of your squad be immune to fear seems like better odds than 1/5. Graceful Assault also has an undispellable Stun on it, making it so you can actually stun the team despite DRs unique. Pair the two of them up with C3PO, and all of a sudden you’ll be able to run that stun just about every turn thanks to Translate as well as fully leveraging JKA’s nerfed unique. Additionally, JKA/Padme synergy will negate DR Deathmark. Seems like it’s got a pretty solid chance to me.

Separate note to your separate note. Did you read the rest of the thread? I've said at least twice and others have as well that we are not complaining about change. We are complaining about about poorly thought out bad change. Saying change is good just because it is change is just flat wrong.

Yes I’ve read it all. I wasn’t implying that all change is good just because it’s change, but what I am implying is that just because *you* find the change bad doesn’t mean the change is objectively bad. That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

I like it. I think it’s a good change. You don’t. We disagree. That’s ok. That doesn’t mean you have the one right answer.

Several of us have spoken to the testers and they were unable to consistently beat DR/malak using padme.

And they were specifically referring to 3v3? Because I’ve only heard discussion around 5v5 so far. I’m reserving judgement until she’s in the wild, the community has a tendency to underestimate new character utility (remember when the general sentiment was that DR was a waste and would never dethrone JKR?). At least based on the kit, it seems like she’s got as solid a chance as anyone at the moment.
