A Better Royal Guard?

U took away the most useful thing about him, the stun. I'm against removing the stun. LS has more stuns than ENDOR has ewoks.

Don't forget the auto taunt

Sorry, forget to add that. Obviously all the stunning LS toons would destroy Royal Guard

I didn't add the taunt because:
1. CLS, QGJ, and a ton of LS characters would remove it instantly, so it would be useless
2. If he did have the Guard's Protection ability, then he would have more purpose, for example a certain Guard in Star Wars protected Palpatine, so the gaurd will gaurd the characters you choose.

No need for an in game rework, and we are getting an actual rework in the new movie with praetorian guards

I would generally leave most of his abilities the same. Maybe remove the health requirement from his basic attack so that it always has the 80% chance to stun. I think making his special better by either giving a retribution or tenacity buff would help out. Then I think he just needs a 4th unique that gives Emperor Palpatine synergy. My idea Royal Guard rework would be:

Force Pike: Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 50% chance to inflict Speed Down for 2 turns. This attack has an 80% chance to also stun the target for 1 turn.

Imperial Phalanx (3 turn cooldown)
All allies gain Defense Up for 2 turns. Empire allies gain Health Up and Tenacity Up for 2 turns. Royal Guard gains 35% turn meter.

Unyielding Defender
Whenever any ally takes damage, Royal Guard gains 15% Turn Meter and Health. In addition, Royal Guard Taunts for 1 turn whenever another ally falls below 100% health.

Imperial Guard
While Imperial Guard is alive, Emperor Palpatine has bonus Health and Protection equal to 35% of Royal Guards max. Whenever Emperor Palpatine takes damage, grant Royal Guard Offense Up for 1 turn and Royal Guard has a 50% chance to counter attack any opponent that damages Emperor Palpatine.

Basically I just want Royal Guard to be buffed to make himself and the Emperor great again.

It was VERY disappointing that he got completely ignored during the Empire faction pass.

How he has zero synergy with the Emperor, the one and only person he has a duty to protect, I’ll never know.

He should get something similar to Krennic and DT

I was using Royal Guard and I thought up of a rework for him to make him much more useful:

Basic: Warding Strike
Deal physical damage to enemy, with a 50% chance to deal 50% less damage. If this happens, then the lost damage is converted into protection and distributed to all allies with Guard's Protection special buff. All the regular debuffs that Royal Guard had earlier still apply

Guard's Protection (5 turn cool down):
Grant chosen ally Guard's Protection, then grant all allies with Guard's Protection special buff health up, defense up, 20% Protection up and health over time for 1 turn. (Zeta)

Guard's Protection Buff: Damage that is supposed to be done to the characters with this special buff is instead done to Royal Guard

Unique: Royal Defender
Royal Guard gains health and Protection equal to 15% of the damage that happens to him

Unique: Undying Protector
When Royal Guard is killed, Guard's Protection Buff is removed from all allies and in return recover 50% protection and 20% health. They will also gain foresight, offense up, and shadow for 3 turns (Zeta)

Royal guard already is very good. First rework Grievous, separatist, droid, jedi, jawa, night sister, vader, bring in jango fett, bossk with bounty hunter rework and bring Padme. Then rework Royal guard maybe

The toons u mentioned all need a rework, although General Grievous is top priority
