Darth Sidious was the most powerful Sith lord in Star Wars. However, he is weaker than most of the characters in the game. He desperately needs a rework in order to make him more useful.


Darth Sidious

Dark Side, Sith, Attacker

Brutal Attacker effective against buffed enemies and Jedi while boosting Sith and buffed allies as a Leader

Power - 8617
Speed - 161
Health - 15,013


Deathstroke (Basic) - Deal Physical damage to target enemy with a 75% chance to dispel all buffs on them. For each buff dispelled, inflict the opposite debuff, if any, for 2 turns. This attack deals 50% more damage to Jedi.

Damage: 3722 - 4112


Demoralizing Blows (Special) - Deal Physical damage to all enemies and inflict Damage Over Time for 2 turns. This attack inflicts additional Damage Over Time effects based on the number of positive status effects on Darth Sidious. (4 turn cooldown)

Damage: 3101 - 3427


Unlimited Power (Leader) - Sith and buffed allies gain 25% Offense. Whenever an ally scores a Critical Hit, they gain 40% Turn Meter and Advantage for 2 turns.


Sadistic Glee (Unique) - Darth Sidious recovers 15% of his Max Health and 50% Turn Meter whenever an enemy is defeated and gains 25% Offense and Speed Up for 2 turns whenever an ally is defeated. In addition, he has +35% Evasion against Jedi attacks, +50% Potency, and gains Max Health equal to his Potency parentage. Whenever Darth Sidious is defeated, all allies gain all of these buffs.

Additional Info:

• Demoralizing Blows inflicts DoT effects based on buffs Darth Sidious currently has (e.g. Darth Sidious has 3 buffs, he will inflict 3 DoT effects to all enemies).
  
• If Darth Sidious is the leader and has a buffed Sith ally, that ally will gain 50% Offense.
  

Sidious is already a highly usable toon considering the very powerful synergies he posseses with the most powerful and popular top 100 leader in the entire game, Zeta Vader. Sids' max health buff, self heal, DoT effects, ability to ignore the increasingly annoying amount of defense being placed in toons, high speed and above average damage when paired with Vader's lead makes him as big a threat as Vader himself until Vader is defeated.

Sidious is also currently the ONLY toon in the game with a 100% heal block (not counting shock) you have total control over who it lands on.

Also, we SERIOUSLY do not need another toon with a basic that dispells (sun fac ruined the meta for months), and most players agree with the statement that Vader should be the signature character for DoT with his choking, as well as one of the overall most powerful (top 10) toons in the game, and I really don't this that buffing such an easily obtainable character like sidious is going to benefit the developers monetarily.
