Adjust Yoda on defense, to use Battle Meditation on first move.

On Reddit, I specifically asked the dev for this exactly but he wouldn't commit to anything.

That would really make Jedi even more dangerous on defense. There has to be some form QGJ. A simple stun from dooku does it. But if Yoda does his tenacity up, then the opposing team will just smash through.

The guys who developed Yoda clearly wanted him to do his whole "steal a buff and share it" routine, which is probably part of why he rarely does BM first. But in arena, at least right now, BM first is the best strategy at least 80% of the time.

Yoda's BM is the reason I can now break into the top 20 on my server. But holding this position would be easier if he did use BM on his first turn in deffence. ;)

Yeah they should change this. I think they already changed phasma, she seems to use victory march now as a first move instead of fusillade

Best first move by far.
You annihilate Vador or Sid's DOT, Poe's Expose, healing's blocking debuff, Obi-wan ming trick (I guess), Dooku and Daka's stuns, ... So the opponent waste them or lose one turn. I didn't know the AI doesn't use it at fisrt turn.
How sad.

It can be played around. It's the single best move he has, and almost all other toons use their best special first round.

Like the guy above said, it's obvious the devs wanted to try to get him to steal and hand out buffs, but honestly even on offense, that rarely happens.

I disagree sorry. If he used it first turn you would not see anyone (that has yoda) not leave him in defence. Teams that use, stuns, expose, healing blocks etc would get phased out and people would just use the hardest hitters and teams would become very boring with no strategy at the start of battles.
This is just my opinion :)

You're describing the current meta :tongue:

I agree it is the current meta lol, but I actually don't have any hard hitters in my team (maybe kylo when under 50% health) and control the teams with stuns. I find it far more enjoyable than when I was using a tank and 4 hard hitters

I think hes skill is too powerful. I hope they change it. Otherwise you cannot build defensive teams. If you want a meta with several decks they need to nerf that skill. Otherwise everyone Will play Yoda.

Yeah I think so as well. I think it should have a setup like advantage, after two resists or attacks it should like go away.
