Badsty Nerf is horrible

Seriously, why? Why did CG have to nerf her? She's been out for quite a long time now, over 2 years. And NOW she gets nerfed? When she was part of the most meta team it was fine to be 'bugged' presumably, but all of a sudden NOW you're rendering her kit meaningless? The ability descriptions don't even match her in-battle behavior anymore.

I now am in battles where she inflicts fear on Gen Sky, but not JML. He can't be feared, fine. I know that. I'm not expecting her to. But if he can't be feared and she CAN fear Gen Sky (and does) then why is JML not getting any debuffs per the kit description? If JKL is also on the field, surely one of them should be getting debuffs if one is getting Feared which is blocked? I paid special attention today in my arena climb and she didn't inflict an ability block with her basic once. Not even against Jedi Knight Revan. Her lightning did hardly anything at all. Killed Wat but he only had 1/3 of his health left or less. Barely left a mark on the 4 Jedi on the field. I haven't changed her mods.

You've done it with DRevs, now you've done it with Badsty, who's next? Is Malak on the chopping block for the next nerf? Will Gen Sky get the nerf after Malak? The DRevs nerf was unnecessary, imo. But this Badsty one is just mean. I built her up to r7 long ago bc of her kit. Now that she got nuked it doesn't seem worth it. Are we building up these toons just for you to make them weaker with a "well it's a bug or accidental mechanic on future content we didn't foresee so we're 'fixing' it 2 years after we released the toon. Until now it was WAI but now we've decided it isn't so sorry!"?
  • JKR is immune to ability block if his unique "Hero" zeta is done.

    Her kit reads "When each of these fears expire, inflict xyz debuffs for 2 turns which can't be resisted. Inflict xyz debuffs for 2 turns on all other enemies."

    So if someone is immune to fear, then they shouldn't be getting hit with the irresistible debuffs, since fear never expired since it never landed.

    But if 5 toons are on the field and someone on the field is immune to fear they SHOULD be getting the debuffs for 2 turns on all other enemies. And she's not landing any debuffs. so in my scenario, JKR, Gen Sky both get feared. Sometimes Wat does. There's your fear threshold. Why isn't JML getting the debuffs the rest of the non-feared enemies are supposed to get? And why can't she land ability block on JML when she could before?


    I mean, clearly they shouldn't, else CG wouldn't have changed how it works.

    It does feel like a weird nerf to do after a couple years of working that way, though. Seems like it would make more sense to either change the description or just leave it, since we all knew how it actually worked.
  • Used to use her to get speed down in raids now I can't land any debuffs with her
  • What nerf? Where was this announced?

    **sorry just noticed this in updates. Well, that's a bit rubbish.

  • If a unit is immune to Fear you will now land no debuff with her Special at all regardless of being targeted or not. With more and more units becoming immune to Fear her viability in such battles will decrease even more. CG knows how to make your prior meta toons worthless in the world of GLs.

    Well it isn't because the Nerf probably


    pre-nerf she landed it quite reliably on JML; now she doesn't. My mods haven't changed. the opponent's mods haven't changed. I fight them every day in arena climb. So if not the nerf, I don't know why she's suddenly unable to land debuffs. I've certainly had ability block on her basic not land here and there, but they didn't land on anyone at all yesterday. Not on Gen Sky. Not on JML. Not on JKL.

    I mean we always blame RNG but even RNG has to let it hit SOMETIMES.

    Sadly this is what I'm afraid of. They're working their way down the meta list. So next should be Malak and then Gen Sky. Then Vader. Also not a fan of them "sneaking" it in without a word to us about it in the hopes that maybe we won't notice a toon is acting completely differently than they used to.
