Asajj and Speed ...?!? (A Desperate Plea)
I love the Asajj character (cue ELO's "Evil Woman"). I also realize, of course, that if all the game characters were tuned according to their actual canonical abilities, the only ones worth having wou...

As far as I'm concerned she needs a complete rework. Slow, weak and limited utility beyond a AOE dispel. Her AOE attack that clears all cooldowns sounds great on paper but in essense it clears its own cooldown and one other ability, which itself is extremely situational and when she takes 1 turn for every enemy's 2, having a 1 turn cooldown is meaningless anyway!
The AI also has the WORST instructions on when she should use her abilities:
- Will use her AOE dispel any time an enemy has ANY buff
- Will use her AOE dispel when she is low on health EVEN IF THERE'S NOTHING TO DISPEL!
- Will ONLY use her AOE attack when an enemy is close to death
Assaj needs more speed, more health, more damage and generally more utility and her AI ability usage would be better if it just never used any of them. Complete rework plz.
Going out on a limb here and say I don't think she needs a *complete* rework. I think giving her a lower speed can be really useful for the AOE dispel because she can clear the 1st round buffs or she can clean up with an AOE attack (Emphasis on CAN). That said, the AI is too dumb to do that and she's TOO slow (if the other team goes twice, none of the above applies). However, if she had a little more protection to survive the 1st round and a little more damage to make it count when she did, the character is viable. Alternately, give her a turn meter gain on enemy defeats.
RE canonical: dunno about this, but while I'd see her more as the speedy ninja version, the devs may have seen her more as demoralizing clean up after droids have hit for the 1st wave?
This always comes up when we talk about her speed. She doesn't need to go last to use her dispel. She can go first with high speed, and attack. Then she can be one of the first to get a second attack in after the buff/taunt toons have all gone and then use her dispel. She could use it more often if she were faster. I agree that AI has no clue how to use her, but the same is true of Yoda. I don't know what can be done about that. I'm ok that a lot of toons get wrecked on defense if they are effective on offense.
