Darth Bane Unique Omicron Not Working Fully in GAC

I'm just kinda stunned that Bane died. SEE/Bane is a complete monster duo. Maybe vs. JMK with CAT's force leap? But if so that's a bad choice by the player. JMK has always been intended to counter SEE and he does a great job at it.

I only took Bane to r5 b/c I'm working on some TB squads that need my r7/r8 mats right now. Even at r5 I took him in against a mostly-r8 JML squad and his opening AoE killed JKR and did massive damage to everyone else. SEE raced to Ult as intended, and the whole battle was over in 50 seconds even with stopping to read ability descriptions. Full banners. Easy peasy. Bane + random low-power Sith also destroys LV. I can't imagine that the two don't also nukulate Leia and Jabba as well.

Take those two against any high-power squad other than JMK and use JMK counters against JMK. You'll thank me for it later.

Bane is good value as he is. No need for changes or refunds.

I agree that he is awesome. I'm trying to understand his abilities so that I know what to expect when I battle with him. As it stands now, his Unique Omicron ability description is flawed. I'm looking for an official response as to whether his kit is not WAI (which I hope, as a fix will only improve his usefulness!), or that the language about "persisting" is superfluous and can be ignored (which is fine also I guess)

It is nice! And nice to hear with an update so soon. I think I said so on the Discord, but thanks!

Wish the update was making the ability persist instead of just updating the text to match it not persisting, but better weaker than misleading.

And Bane’s still great. Just slightly less so vs JMK.

We should be refunded all omicrons for bane.

@CG_Tusken_Meathead quit being lazy, this is the absolute worst response you guys have ever dropped. Why would we want things that only buff Bane to persist after he's dead.

Where's our refund?

I mean, you can try to sell us on the whole “working as intended” thing, but we’re not buying it. All of Bane’s bonuses persist on his death.

I really hoped that see plus bane would be good against jmk in gac. But this duo is not good. Bane dies, see is loosing health, protection, can be debuffed, so we have the same situation we had before bane.
See can still beat jmk but not with his lifter.
So how bane is replacing wat?
Also i dont think that see is receiving offens bonus when bane dies. In arena against jabba see is hitting 30k as he used to without bane...
Bane cant dispell foresight, and is missing always against foresight on his 1st special...
Kind of strange...

I really hoped that see plus bane would be good against jmk in gac.

SEE/Bane is insanely good against almost anything.

However, Sith Lords are JMK's speciality. You would also be upset if SEE/Bane had no counter. JMK is the only squad that I know kills him. Yes, I want the descriptions to be accurate, but so long as they correct the wording, the way things function with Bane & SEE is fine.

See can beat jmk. But not with bane. And bane suposse to be his lifter. That was the idea i think to introduce bane. Not to use bane with r9 sith assasin to solo other teams and see would go still with wat.
Bane was presented as replacement for wat.
See could beat almost everything before bane. With wat.

SEE can DEFINITELY beat JMK with Bane
I've done it on arena, as long as CAT does not instant kill Bane, which on GAC is not going to happen because of the bonus turn and CD increase

The only thing is that the omicron was supposed to counter that little issue on GAC, but now is not happening lol
Still, I'm counting on that it is very much possible to still do so
I've not encountered a JMK this first round, so no way to test it, and even so, I don't have the omicron on the special for the 2 turn CD, so quite hard for that as well, but will see

There isn’t. That’s why CG is changing the text.

Another explanation is that the Omicron benefits were supposed to extend to the other Sith and persist, but that functionality was removed before release.

That’s how it was intended to work. Rather than fix the bug CG decided to go the MSF route and blame the text rather than put manpower into fixing the broken mechanic

The other Sith never got the Omicron benefits like the +75% Mastery. That was always on Bane only. Or at least it was in the final revealed kit.

Correct, the other sith never got the benefits from the omicron but the way the omicron read was that it was supposed to persist after bane was defeated. The entire unique. It didn’t work like that on release, so rather than fix the bug and make it work like kit read, they decided to just change the wording of the kit to match the functionality and that’s why people are upset and rightfully so.

Yes.

I’m confused how that relates to the point I was trying to make, though.
