Darth Vader made viable and desirable in one simple step!

The dark lord of the sith, the hardest guy in the ENTIRE game to get and the face of the star wars franchise - darth vader....is a massive disappointment devs. He is a beast for health BUT he hits like a limp lettuce leaf. I have a solution to this.

Make his saber throw crit. EVERY TIME.

It never misses which is fine but it isn't teally enough. Critical hitting every time would make him not only viable but highly desirable. When it works right now it's great but very meh when it doesn't. Let's hope the devs read this and action!

This ain't his main draw backs, culling is actually one of his strongest advantages.

His basic that hits like a wet noodle and lack of a 5th skill is the draw back

I would make Terrifying Swing guaranteed crit. That's really only the weak part of Vader's game.

Needs more than that.

His basic should do 100% more damage to rebels/Jedi and make ability block unable to be resisted or dodged if target is a Jedi/rebel

But the culling blade as a permanent crit would make him viable without being OP since his basic is awful. It's about balance guys...

+1. I think he does need a unique though.

I agree I do think he needs a unique as well. I was thinking something along these lines for a unique.

Special: Fear the Dark side
For each rebel/Jedi Vader gains +5% offense, for each rebel/Jedi slayed by Vader reduce skill cooldowns by 1.

Everyone just needs to keep saying he needs a rework and he'all get one!! I'm hoping he gets a rework or added abilities or both!!

He don't need an actual rework like boba he just needs added ability/basic buff.

Something more modest for vader would be like what they did for yoda

ALTERING THE DEAL: On his turn, all enemy buffs have a 50% chance to be dispelled by Vader

I like the idea but to dispell the entire team with a 50% chance each one of his turns would be too good.

If it was one target of your choice that would be more fair

This isn't a bad idea at all. However I feel like he should be more effectively utilized for his tank and debuff roles than just straight up damage. I think that feels more apt for the character even. What about this...

Special: The Power of the Dark Side
Whenever Vader receives a critical attack he gains taunt for 2 turns. Vader has 100% counter chance whenever taunting.

This would allow him to function better as a tank, and soak up damage, but let you get some mileage out of his ability block. Sure enemies could choose not to target him. But what about AOE's or counters themselves? Not to mention by not targeting Vader your opening yourself up to culling blade.
