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

Did they changed the Yoda AI? I had a GW fight against him this morning and guess what was his first move. He used Battle Meditation.

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.

1. Those who got Yoda via challenge deserve to play Yoda
2. Yoda is an iconic character. Clearly it must be one of the strongest
3. Whether or not devs want teams to be strong on offence is a separate question. If they do, then they could indeed program Yoda to cast BM as a fist turn - but only against Dooku/stun/debuff heavy teams. It would be a weak first turn against other type of teams

Lol. Nearly every team uses either Phasma,Dooku, Sidious or Luminara.

"Terrifying Swing – Deal Physical damage to target enemy with 65% chance to inflict Ability Block for 1 Turn. Jedi targets cannot Evade or Resist the effects of this attack."

Works as intended.

He's always done that in GW for some reason.

BM for tempo is the best opening move against Dooku stuns.

I would only save BM to share buffs if I were against a droid team. They have a lot of buffs that are stealable. I would use Ataru or Unstoppable Force on one of the IG's, QGJ assist to OHKO 88 and then Eeth Koth to stun 86. Poggle and HK 47 start throwing buffs around, Yoda can Masterstroke and then BM on his next turn.

This thread makes me even happier I have Yoda at my disposal

No it would negate whole teams with the first move... No option for strategy at all.

What are you even saying? You don't like that it will make his team better defensively because he will counter stuns and such?

Correct. It counters everything. Status effects are a huge part of this games strategy.

alternatively, you could set Yoda as leader on your last battle, to give the passive tenacity boost to a Jedi Team. Sure, you lose on speed (assuming QGJ is your leader) but gains a huge defensive buff.

Actually, I'll do that today.

... 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.

Is there an 'Out of Context' thread anywhere in this forum? If not there needs to be. These 2 message made me literally LOL

You my friend have your mind in the gutter. I applaud you!

I have nothing to add to this discussion.
