Just read https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/224131/galactic-legends-mastery#latestThis might be some of the scariest info on this game ever! If I read this correctly, then the Mastery stat modifications are so big, that they can cancel a stat 100%! That is insane! :o The Mastery Stat seems to work something like this. Example: Let's take an Agility Attacker with 100% CD and apply a Mastery stat = M= 0,5:Effect = E = (M * CD) + CD = (0,5 * 100%) + 100% = 150% CD. That seems plausible. Good, but within reasonBut if an effect can lower the health of a character though the Mastery Stat, then it's value must be negative. E = (-0,5 * 100%) + 100% = 50% CDThat also seem plausible in this example, but consider what they say about the heath:For example, although health is on this list and can be negatively manipulated through Mastery, this manipulation can’t directly defeat a character by reducing their health below 1.E = (-1 * ) + = 0 health (which is then "only" lowered to 1 health, yay...). Tell me I'm wrong. Or at least tell me the Mastery Stat changes only happen slowly over many, many turns.(The stat and it's effect can be calculated in a number of ways, but I believe it all ends up being the same - madness!) ;)

I have no idea what your post means but I also don’t know what this part of the post meant either:“Mastery can also be manipulated negatively in which case it negatively impacts the character’s associated stats if possible. For example, although health is on this list and can be negatively manipulated through Mastery, this manipulation can’t directly defeat a character by reducing their health below 1.”

I guess I get the gist of what they were trying to say with that post, but it looks like it was slapped together in like 30 seconds and given exactly that much thought when trying to express their intentions. Not much to see here other than "new toons make other toons bad via mastery"

I think we should stop all mathematical rigor until they give specific details that lend itself to being analyzed mathematically. I understand theory crafting, but the mechanics are pretty solid in this game. Thinking too much is just setting your self up for a fall.They are meant to be overwhelming.

So following this argument... So G12+ / G13 is the new king? No point for R7 if they can be decreased??

Nah, they'll figure out a way to make it so relics are still necessary to combat the legends, especially when they push that threshold up to Relic 11 in the next few months.

I understand it a bit differently... Some GL chars can decrease the mastery stat. Even if this stat is 0 (like with G12 toons) it can be lowered. For example - 50 mastery stat. That would lower health, damage, crit chance, etc. to a small amount. That would be the only (logically) case where some toons may have 1 health. Relic 7 chars would drop to G12ish.

Also from a PvE aspect this will be insanely usefull for LS Geo TB. You can lower the enemies HP, damage, crit chance, etc..

Rey will increase mastery stats
Kylo will decrease mastery stats

Basically New Rey will turn allies into OP killing machines
New Kylo will turn enemies into Ugnaughts

That’s why also you can’t have both new Rey and Kylo in the same squad, it would be too OP

Sorry, but it's good communication. Here's what it says:
1) This is how Mastery works.
2) Galactic Legends will monkey with Mastery.

That's the entire post in a nutshell. You may have wanted a 2000 word essay that would have said the same thing, but I'm appreciative that they kept it brief. I watch too much hockey where coaches spend 15 minutes answering a question without saying anything.

Excellent speculation, that seems like an obvious choice.

As far as the actual mechanic, I could see some like "Enemies get -25 mastery. This can't lower mastery to less than zero." So R5 and less enemies would become effectively G13 and R7 would become R4. That would at least preserve the investment in R7 a bit.

We know they can reduce mastery below zero. That's why they threw in the comment about not being able to reduce health below 1.

From what I remember, the GLs will have an ultimate ability like cap ships. I would bet this is that ultimate ability that can turn the tide of a battle. Think Thrawn's ultimate or GKs B-wing bomber attack that can eliminate 1 or more ships in 1 shot.

I agree, good speculation. However by letting mastery drop below zero it will still reward people for investing in relics. If youre at g11 for example your base stats start to drop, while at r7 your just losing some of your mastery bonuses. I think if it's not a crazy amount of mastery drop, it could lead to some fun theory crafting about which type of toons to counter with and which masteries have the smallest liabilities.

Seems like this is a good way to invalidate any non-GL character without having to come up with clever kit ideas.

everyone is complaining about the kits without actually seeing them and.......will anyone complain when these characters alleviate some of the frustration in GEO TB by negating OP Clones or Separatists and going 4/4 in battles? Not all things in this game are PvP. I for one will welcome this, if it is indeed that powerful, and get me another 2-3 *s in Geo TBs.
