I don't like this kit that much. Mostly because it's got some problems in it that make no sense and it doesn't fully synergise with Vader or Palp (or at least not as much as I would like). (p.s. he was just Starkiller. Never was he referred to as darth. He was a sith thou. This was just the first hint that he was just being used by Vader and Palp. Or that is my interpretation anyway. Either way he is just "Starkiller").
To begin with, These ability's make no sense. Or at least the basic and 2 specials. The basic deals Percentage health damage (which isn't dependent on offence) and the second special instantly defeats an enemy (or does nothing if there are no rebel enemies and is also not dependent on offence). Finally, the first special deals no damage and grants offence up. Seeing as none of his attacks are dependent on his offence, the offence up is USELESS!!! Seriously. This is a serious design flaw. Thou I think the basic needs a fix. Cause it is either way overpowered or completely useless.
Another thing are the names. These names are too generic for my taste (thou I do kinda like the reference to the game itself). Where are some of the more unique ability's starkiller used, like Sith Seeker (which, according to the wiki, he is the only known user of) or Force Repulse (shared with a few, thou not many).
Also, why only 4 ability's. He's a pretty powerful character. I think he deserves 5. But this is a personal thing.
Vader's lead is very Damage over time focused, and Palpatine's is verry debuff focused. Yet there is no damage over time in this kit. I think this is a shame, especially since this could very well display his lethality in lightsaber combat.
The unique is pretty nice. Overall I like it. But when does he gain the foresight and Health up? When they are defeated? at the start of battle? and how long do they last for that matter?
Overall there is a nice concept here but it needs some work. I've come up with a few ability Idea's of my own. Thou it's up to you what you do with them.
