Empire Abilities are Underpowered
So I was looking at creating an Empire team. The first thing I noticed was that Vader's leadership ability at level 6 gives +27.5 offense to Empire allies AND gives all attacking Empire allies a 25% chance to remove 10% turn meter. That's a good ability for an Empire team. But Veers' ability at level 7 (that is, a higher level than the ability I just described) gives 26% offense to Empire allies. At a higher ability level, it gives less offense than Vader's ability and doesn't have a chance to manipulate turn meter. What's the point of Veers even having a leadership ability when it is outclassed in every way by Vader's?
Snowtrooper also has an ability that doesn't seem balanced. He has an AoE that grants himself offense up on a killing blow. Sound familiar? It's the same as Anakin's. The only difference is that Anakin's ability grants offense up to the whole team instead of just himself AND does more damage. I'm not calling for a nerf to Anakin, but Snowtrooper, or any character, should not have an ability that is just a weaker version of another character's ability. From a balance standpoint, it just doesn't make sense. I will not be farming that Empire squad.
