Cad Bane Rework, why not better???

Why did we not get a better rework to Cad Bane. He just doesn't stand vs many other Bounty Hunters. Aside from maybe Greedo, he is the weakest Bounty Hunter in the game. He is a Support that really isn't supporting anyone. He could even summon his TODO 360 Buttler Droid yet nope. That'd give him his best chance at being better. Yes he could't summon under Jabba but in other teams he could. He could also get his contract updated and applied under Baylon. But just as his kit is right now, here is some of my suggested changes that I'd like to share which will be in red as usual. I will say I am glad his basic is better though. Helps his health and protection recovery under his unique. 

 

Dark Side, Support, Leader, Bounty Hunter, Mercenary, Scoundrel, Separatist

Gun Slinger:

Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 100% chance to attack again. Inflict Accuracy Down and Evasion Down on target enemy for 2 turns. Cad Bane gains 15% Turn Meter for each Critical Hit. 

Stun Glove:

Deal Physical damage to target enemy, dispel all buffs on them and Stun them for 1 turn. In addition, remove 50% Turn Meter, doubled against Jedi enemies. If the target is debuffed, remove 25% of their Max Protection (stacking). This attack can't be Evaded. If the target is immune to Stun, ability block them for 1 turn instead.

At Your Service: (Omicron, Leader{Added After Posting})

Bounty Hunter allies have +100% Potency and 50% Tenacity and gain Advantage for 2 turns when they inflict a debuff. When Cad Bane is in the Leader slot, and not the Ally slot, the following Contract is active:

Contract: Inflict 20 debuffs on enemies. (Only Bounty Hunter allies can contribute to the Contract.)

Reward: All enemies have -50% Tenacity for the rest of the battle. All Bounty Hunter allies have their Payouts activated.

While in 3v3 Grand Arena and all other allies are Non-Leader Separatist Droid allies:

Non- Leader Separatist Droid allies gain +100% Potency and +50% Tenacity and can contribute to the contract.  At the start of the Encounter, Cad Bane gains +5% Offense, +5% Defense +5% Critical Avoidance, +5% Health and +5 % Protection for each Relic Amplifier on Cad Bane and each other Non-Leader Separatist Droid ally. Cad Bane is Immune to Stun Effects, his Turn Meter can't be manipulated by enemy abilities, and his attacks can't be evaded. Whenever a Non-Leader Separatist Droid ally uses a special ability, Cad Bane has a 50% Chance to assist.

For the Right Price:(Zeta)

Cad Bane has +50% Critical Avoidance, +50% Critical Chance, and +50% Critical Damage, +25% Max Health and +25% Protection. When Cad Bane inflicts a debuff, he recovers 10% Max Health and 10% Max Protection. When Cad Bane scores a Critical Hit, he has a 50% chance to reduce his cooldowns by 1. 

While Jabba is in the leadership and all other allies are Hutt Cartel, All Hutt Cartel allies gain +20 Speed, +20% Defense, and +20% Offense, doubled on Cad Bane. Bounty Hunter allies with Payouts gain +20% Critical Avoidance.

If all other allies are Mercenary, Every 5 stacks of Soldier of Fortune Cad Bane gains 10% Potency and 10% Tenacity and other Mercenary allies gain half that amount. Cad Bane starts the battle with a Stack of Soldier of Fortune for each Relic Amplifier level he has until end of battle. 

Cad Bane's Payout:

Whenever Cad Bane receives Rewards from a Contract or when a non-Droid, non-Bounty Hunter Leader is a Separatist Ally, or Baylon Skol is Leading, he also gains the following Payout. (Contracts are granted by certain Bounty Hunter Leader Abilities.)

Payout: Cad Bane has +65% Counter Chance, +25% Accuracy, +25% Evasion, +25% Health Steal. Inflict Thermal Detonator for 2 turns on attacking enemy when Cad Bane Evades. This Thermal Detonator can't be Evaded.

 

      I added a Omicron after I had Posted cause of he was working with Nute Gunray and Sidious to get info from a Jedi on a Holocron and he was leading a Separatist Ship and its Droids. Thought I'd pay homage to this.

  • Thought it was kind of weird to hype summoning the Buttler Droid and then not putting it in your suggested kit. 

    IMO you've made For The Right Price a bit strong. I'd suggest summoning TODO as part of the payout, so he doesn't start with it, and then have TODO grant weaker bonuses to all BH that are doubled if Jabba is the leader. 

    This will affect team comp choices by encouraging an all-BH Hutt Cartel squad (meaning some ppl may choose to drop Skif Lando) but it doesn't require it. It doesn't negate the BH bonuses if a non-BH is present. That toon just doesn't get TODO's bonuses. 

    And the bonuses can even be just as strong, since they're dependent on reaching the contract. (And also bc it requires a GL to access them.) 

    Aw, heck. I just remembered that Jabba disallows summons. Well, then I'm not sure. I still like the summon idea, but you'd have to work it in some other way. Perhaps put it with the Leadership Omicron. 

    Oh, and a last note, why say that TM can't be manipulated by enemies? Why not just say immune to TM reduction? That would require less programming since other toons already have that feature, so the code is written, it would just need to be implemented on CB.

    I love this idea.  As you said, there's no worry of over-powering Hutt teams either!

  • Yeah, just weird he doesn't even get a zeta, let alone an omicron.  

  • Update the thread title while you’re at it. It should be clear that threads are fan kits, to save people who aren’t interested opening them. 

  • I updated and added a Unique Omicron based on his Time working under Sidious and with Nute Gunray. I think it'd be fun to try out in 3v3.
