CG this is your chance! Starkiller

My money is on Starkiller having a unique to have synergy with Darth Vader and that’ll be it.

The best plan is to wait and see. Four brand new marques with the event in a month is pretty much a paywall in itself.

I'm sure many whales will spend $300 per marque and then complain if he's not amazing.

Most likely all this will happen before the kit reveal. If you rush to buy the new shiny without knowledge, I have no sympathy when your disappointed. It has happened before with many similar releases. Most recently the bando journey. The character ended up being useful (definitely needed for executor fleet and a pretty good team under maul). But by the time they were useful, you could have him ftp easily.

Now without starkiller being a GL, I don't see how he'll be useful enough to drop enough $ or hoarded crystals in the most inefficient way possible (getting marque stars quickly). Gone are the days of a marque changing the arena meta.

Starkiller is obviously meant to be to LV what Malak was to DR. Wouldnt surprise me if he completely shuts down JMK, forcing people to panic farm LV and Maul. Not sure how many people are willing to spend 1200$ on him though, seems like a lot.

There are two possibilities about how Starkiller could turn out:

Possibility 1 is that he significantly boosts LV teams, allowing them to become better than JMK, and forcing people to whale on LV, Maul, and Starkiller. This would most likely to force those who have JMK, but not LV, to whale on LV to stay in the top of arena.

Possibility 2 is that Starkiller is just a good character, but nothing meta-defining. This would most likely anger those who whaled on Starkiller and his requirements and expected him to be meta-defining.

We will see which possibility turns out to be true soon.

Depends on the tags. For him to help lv, he'd likely need the empire tag. I'm not sure that fits. The Sith tag would fit better lore wise. That would boost See which wouldn't be a bad thing since jmk really just destroys him after the nerf they did to him.

Empire would fit, asajj is a sep even though she’s just Dooku assassin

DS UFU would fit, it’s just like the Dooku situation except with Vader

I just think Sith fits since he's mainly Vader's apprentice and a major plot point of the game is him being used to potentially overthrow palpatine.

I'm also a fan of asajj having the Sith tag.

Empire just doesn't fit. He seems to be outside of the ranks of the empire.

And the unaligned force user tag is just garbage in my opinion. Too many characters that claim to be a jedi or Sith get it. I get that they need to split factions but saying that a jedi is unaligned is just garbage.

Cls for example was an apprentice to Yoda and learning the ways of the jedi. That isn't unaligned. And if you have to be a jedi knight to get the tag, then ashoka wouldn't have it.

The same would hold for starkiller. He was Vader's sith apprentice. That isn't unaligned.

But he wasn’t a Sith, as there can only be 2.

Just like the inquisitors.

Yet the Sith apprentice always seems to train an apprentice of their own. And the master allows it because they are useful until they become a threat.

Seems to recur enough that it's pretty much part of the rule by now.

I'm guessing dark side at the very least. Probally empire to beef up LV team and/or sith. His preview video definitely gives me those vibes. Dark sinister look+ his red lightsaber.

He is dark side. The graphic that shows Dash being required for Starkiller has Dash's portrait with a blue frame and Starkiller's with a red one, like DS/LS GLs do in the JG.

Since when does CG follow the path of star wars...(re: Darth vader nerf). They are going to do whatever gets them the most $$.

I mean both Obi Wan and CG have cut the legs right out from under Vader, so they actually have followed the story line

There was a story line on SWGOH !!??
Sure glad that shaakti lead the clones in that iconic battle ...

Oh wait, was that Mace or shaakti ? Can't remember clearly now ... The greed of CG clouds thy judgement

He is a tier IV character along with JKR, DR, Chewbacca, C3P0 and HMF. If he was tier V like DM, GAS, JKL and the Executor I would be a little more worried about his power in the game.

He should not be tier 5 and glad he is not.

He will be a Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker level character (Edit: my bad in game now as tier 4.). Dark Side. Nothing meta-breaking by himself. He will have situational benefits - I like the idea of omicrons for him.

Makes me wonder what else they will release. Always two things to make you feel torn between them
