Clone Trooper Echo
BLUF: Echo becomes a damage boosting support and free a character position for a true medic (healer).
Currently Echo only assists once on top of being called in by Cody’s special.
With the addition of the Millennium Falcon having a great basic attack assist mechanic and elite snow troopers calling multiple assists, I think Echo should have a similar rework.
I am a long time user of a full clone squad. Echo does not do ground breaking damage as doing massive damage in a single hit. His job is a support providing suppressive fire and in doing so giving his clone allies covered fire. While under covered fire, clone troopers are safe to take shots if the opportunity arises. I think his kit should reflect this.
Remove this healing mechanic from Echo. He is not a combat medic lore wise or even in his game tags. He is a support rightly so. Change his basic to give TM without restriction but reduce the amount gained and restrict the effect to only clones. His kit should maximize the potential of a clone trooper synergy. How would a non-soldier type know to use his suppressive fire?
Next get ride of this hp healing mechanic as it makes no sense with clone troopers. A simple fix is to have very low values of life steal on each clone trooper as Commander Cody brings that sustain as a heavily invested leader.
As a replacement ability give him Covered Fire as a unique ability. Anyways, Echo should only activate this unique when his ally troopers uses a special ability. When activated he calls another ally whom did not use the special ability to activate cover fire to assist with a bonus to either critical damage or offense.
Just my 2 cents and ready for the backlash.
