Forgotten Characters?

Don’t worry, they will all be needed at relics for a GL one day.

Sadly the FO toons got zetas at one point and were needed. There are three resistance that haven’t been looked at or touched since the beginning of the game.

You have forgotten Cad Bane, the only bounty hunter in the game without a zeta - even though he once got a little touch-up, it was not enough. Even worse maybe because back then they removed his "Jedi hunter" lead ability. It wasn't strong, but it was meant true to lore at least.

Is anyone else surprised that this list is that short?

Or that so many of those toons are still kind of useful, and at least lowB-C grade toons

I’m surprised you think many of these toons are useful. Outside of pilots being useful for their ships, I’m struggling to get passed the Rebel Fighters. Remove Mon Mothma from the game, and maybe I could see chirrut and baze still being useful...maybe.

Pilots are very useful.

Jawa are useful.

Most of the jedi listed can be used as subs in jedi teams, or even more recently make a solid team with JKL.

Talia and Bistan are solid toons.

Not sure why you would remove MM from the game, since ya know she is part of the game and brings together a useful team.

That's more than 50% of the list.

I'm not saying any of them are great, but since there are times where gearing a toon for a secondary use (pilot, or just for an event), I will try to work them into some extra benefit too,and that can work in the case of a fair amount of that list.

No no no, Plo koon was amazing in a JKR meta, he basically gave the edge to your revan team with bonus speed and made it easier for you to win,
Jawas are great for killing bugs or MM,
Lando, wedge, Biggs, chirut, baze where also great until recently, wedge and Biggs where part of the danger zone squad countering traya when she was meta.
Poe and resistance trooper are still great under JTR or finn, they counter high relic BH,

Again all those toon can get a buff with a zeta one of these days and that would be great (maybe give us rebel pilot Luke) but the rest of them are trash basically (maybe Ayla secura can have a use every now and then)

:| All of the examples you use here are toons being used in old meta teams or to counter old meta teams.

I have many on this list geared from 2017 and 2018 (most are g8 or g9). Some are g12 from when Ships 2.0 was introduced, and are still in my top 80 GP. They don’t participate in GAC, in TB, or in TW. If given the option to take all of that gear back and immediately place it on other toons, I’d do it in a heartbeat for everyone but ackbar (since he has a capital ship) and plo koon (also only for his ship).

Ackbar is the only fleet commander without a zeta but his ship is still second in my opinion only to Nego. Every toon on that list would have to get a massive rework for me to spend a zeta on them.

He doesn’t have any abilities that are at 7. They’re all maxed at omegas, only reason he was left off the list. I’d love for him to get a rework though!!!

I’m not disagreeing that pilots are useful, but you said that the toon was useful and I disagree with that. You can make a new toon pilot named Black Box with 4 abilities that can be leveled to 7 which all say “do nothing,” and it would be almost as useful as a Bistan.

I’ll give you Jawas.

For Jedi, would you gear any of those Jedi if you hadn’t done so a long time ago? Plo Koon for instance, isn’t terrible, but he’s kind of like the Jedi version of Phasma with a better basic ability. His best ability is to give everyone else some turn meter.

For Talia, maybe but I don’t use her and don’t feel like I’m missing out. For Bistan, I’ve had him at g12 for 2 years now and have tried him in many different rebel lineups. Before Mon Mothma, he wasn’t worth having at g12 outside of being a pilot. Now, I’d like to switch his gear with Pao or a better rebel Fighter, but I’m not going to start a side project for that.

The comment about Mon Mothma was that she made that garbage Rebel Fighter toons worth gearing. On their own, though, they aren’t worth much.

Saying that a toon is useful because they’re used for an event is the same as saying Rose or Phasma are useful because they’re gating a GL. We can debate the definition of “useful,” but I think that providing access to an event does not exactly make a toon useful. Or at least that’s not the use I want to get out of toons I gear.
