Galactic War Report – New Character Unveiled!

YES! Another OP player release!

I just would like to say that the podcast merchandising of Tarkin in this episode was the worse thing I ever experienced in this game comunity.

Tarkin is underwellming in any battles I did with him, but he was advertised as a Rebel destroyer. I was skeptical at first reading the abilities, but waited to see in practice. Talking to a friend, I thought he could actually be good if played properly on offense; and even being bad defensively, I was hoping for the best.

Then once he came out, I just realised how bad he is for arena, and after 6 matches, I feel very sad and disapointed.

And sorry for beeing repetitive but this has frustrated me in such a way that I have to put it out loud.

Could someone please explain to me why people keep claiming that Ahsoka should have a Phoenix tag? My understanding is that she had absolutely nothing to do with Phoenix squad other than the fact that she happens to appear in the same animated series that they do and coincidentally fought alongside them in a couple of episodes. She was an enemy of the empire and a crucial component to instigating the rebellion. Phoenix Squad was a small cell of misfits trying to do whatever they could to disrupt the Empire's operations. There were many of these cells. Important figures such as Ahsoka and Senator Organa began trying to coordinate the efforts of these individual cells by relaying various missions or assignments down to them via coded messages. They would disguise their identities to keep the Empire off of their trail, and Fulcrum just happened to be the identity that Ahsoka used on many occasions. The coordinated efforts of these individual cells is what eventually evolved into the Rebel Alliance. Hera would occasionally receive coded instructions from the forming Rebel Alliance via Fulcrum (who was Ahsoka at the time), and that's about the extent of their relationship.

I agree she shouldn't get the phoenix, jedi tags but the least they could have done is give her a leadership ability that would work with jedi, phoenix factions the same way her younger self's leadership ability works with the nightsister faction just because she tagged along with Ventress.

In the cartoon series she acted like a leader and saved the phoenix squadron's members a$$es many times so why she doesn't have a leadership ability in game is beyond me...It doesn't have to be a meta changing leadership ability just something to synergies with phoenix squadron or jedis or why not all allies since her case is unique and she's sorta like a lonely wolf.

Also in the cartoon she disarms one of the inquisitors with her bare hands and i feel like they could have done something really cool with this idea in game. Maybe instead of protection up on her basic strike a 50% (100% if the target has debuffs) to increase the cooldown would have been more interesting.

Well they needed to get some suckers with their Tarkin bundle. If they would have said we made a mediocre toon just like the rest of the reworks, nobody would buy him.

Does it say what toons we need for Ahsoka's event??

Is a lvl 20 event... I guess all toons to get a free 3* ashoka and then paywall

I can't believe that this is it for the Empire rework.... I just... man.

Tarkin's rework is down there with any of the Mace Windu ones. I maxed Moff in the last couple weeks thinking I'd get ahead of the crowd for once but he's such hot garbage still. I ran multiple variations of Moff, Zader, veers and EP leads for him and he's still not even good enough to make my varsity Empire GW squad.

Do devs know that he'll never be alive to drop his big damage on anyone?

Lol, what big damage? I haven't seen or read about anybody topping Lando or Snow aoes.

He is not bad, but not as leader. I've seen mixed with krennic dt chaze / gk dn that worked pretty well

Lol. Rex would be better in both setups.Wedge would be better in both setups . Fulcrum would be way better in both setups. Few toons would be bad with that setups.

He's not as bad as he was, you're correct, I would still rank him as 12th out of the 14 empire characters however. He's better than ISC and possibly RG now that he got zilch from the faction pass.

Edit: honestly he's still probably worse than RG, who still protects low health allies and stuns reliably. So Moff went from being the worst Empire character to the 2nd worst. Solid rework guys!
