GameChanger Gameplay: Sith Marauder

The "Shadow of Malachor" Marquee event has come early to the Holotable, and our Gamechangers have been hard at work testing out the newest addition to the dark side. Please see their videos below:

    So,is he really worth gearing up or just wait for a better character to be released?Both MobileGamer and Ahnaldt are not impressed by it.

    Until he gets fixed is not worth investing anything in him. He doesn’t work neither under Vader’s lead,neither under Nihilus lead since for some insane reason he doesn’t get the offence boost..keep your gear and Crystals for now

    I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this... I think that the shard amounts need to change from 5-330 to 50-330! Two days ago, I spent a total of 6495 crystals and all I got was 22 shards for the Sith Marauder. I agree, from what I saw in the event, he's a valuable character, but I'm not going to waste hundreds of dollars on a whim that I get good luck in getting all 330 shards in 15,000 worth of crystals.


    Well, that‘s one of the cases why I look forward to law changes in Germany -and if passed, the rest of Europe probably follows through as well.
    Such rates are gambling imho and Germany’s as well.
    I haven‘t been there, but I think you can gamble for less money in Vegas (although, chances for the 330 shards are probably the same as hitting the jackpot there)
    I bought 1-2 shard packs and all I got was a total of like 20 shards. Never again, only 100% buy what you see options.
    That being said, I keep wondering what the psychological effects are especially regarding mobile games. So many people sink so much money into them... I believe -I don‘t have facts- that non-mobile games are completely different, at least to my experience. I wonder why it‘s like that.
  • I think it is now common knowledge... if u want to 7* a toon through packs u have to be ready to spend about 300 usd...
    Getting a pack with a large ampunt pf shards has an extremely low probability. If it happens great, but don t expect it to happen. It s like playing the lotto...

    No. Always seems a ridiculous pursuit.

    The 5-330 shard range is one of the ugliest rip offs I've ever seen on any given game. It's a shame to fool your players like this.


    How is it “fooling” your players when it is well documented all over the forum/reddit/youtube how abysmal the chance of getting high shard amount drops is from that pack? If you still decide to gamble on it, then it is your choice. You should be expecting 5 shards every pull and be happy if it’s anything else. If you can’t accept that, don’t buy. If you still buy it and feeling angry and ripped off afterwards, then maybe you are right, you are a fool.
  • I play this game long enough to know to keep my hands off these packages, but there are always new players which constantly are falling for the 5-330 trap. I spend my crystals only on energy.
  • Most of the whales I know have bought enough of these toons to know the average cost of maxing them from these packs. They usually choose to do it anyway.

    Believe it or not, but there are more people that don't use these forums, Reddit, and YouTube, in relation to this game, than those that do. Those packs rely on the fact that most people don't use them and won't realize the abysmal return until making a few purchases themselves.

    If you don’t do any research prior to making any purchases, in this game or anywhere else, then most of the blame is on yourself if you don’t get what you think you should get. Be an informed buyer.

    Back to topic? Who has leveled his Marauder to a higher star level so far? And what was the motivation for doing so? Is the Marauder a game changer or not?


    I brought mine to level 85 and maxed out his abilities - but he's still just 3 stars and gear 9.

    That said, Sith Marauder is steadfastly mediocre. If there's a lot of buffs on the field he's really tough and has bonkers health steal, but no matter the amount of debuffs his damage output doesn't seem to improve whatsoever.

    Still a fun new character to play with though...
