Does anyone have a geared Magma trooper? I have lvl 70, 7 star, gear 8, but from there to gear 10 and 80 he will gain over 1,000 physical damage.Right now he hits about the same as Baris which is a complete joke. Anyone test him out?

Ha ha, no no no no no. Such a waist, thankfully he is in GW so it doesn't matter all that much to me. I think you would need to tripple his damage and potency before he becomes viable. In his current form he does less damage than JKG, who at least has enough potency for her utility to work.

I'm still going to develop him to gear ix, with hopes they fix him. I have him 7* lvl 70. And Empire. I will have 5 7* Empire toons when the event comes out. I'm not making the mistake I did with the Jedi event.

I'm not optimistic about Empire teams, seems like Yoda would have a field day against a team with RG, Vader, Tarkin, Magma, and Veers. His tenacity up would remove all utility that team gains from TM reduction, dots, and offense down on their Aoe. What you would have left would be a relatively tanky team with not great damage and not great speed.

He is solid in an empire team and serves his purpose there... Outside of that he lost a lot of his usefulness with TM reduction now able to be resisted. His damage is pretty low although not as awful once he is geared up.

I got magma trooper just to get him. I have him 7* . I'm only missing like 5 people left in GW to get 7* ( the 5th is cad bane , before him I had 4 ) . I should've done magma trooper last. He's not very good at all. He has really high health but he's slow and hits like a wet noodle even at gear 10.

I got him lvl 79, 2 pieces away from gear 10, ability maxed and omega on his basic. I'm just still looking for his damage, I just can't see them. Critic a 3k while a similar geared 5s have 40k life... What a joke. TM get resisted and the worst is he still takes lots of debuff despite the supposed Tenacity buffs he has.
I regret gearing him up so much

He needs stormtroopers potency why dos Stormtrooper have 80 potency in g10 and magma has none well he may no idea 2 pieces gear from g10 but such gamble to waste resources on the unknown. Tarkin and magma need the 80 potency maybe a mistake Stormtroopera tm reduction when hit while taunting don't justify that high is it just me or does that seem odd

I'm hoping that g10 gives him potency that's all magma needs for that aoe to stick it seems all empire get it potency late but Tarkin and magma I haven't seen any yet

Tarkin is reliable against Rancor.

Since we're on-topic for Magmatrooper I have a question since you guys are obvious users and promoters of him. Has anyone seen an issue where using your Imploder and the enemy TM is low, it drains it then bounces it to like 75% FULL? I feel like when I use my Imploder it GIVES the enemy speed-up instead of the opposite.

You're PR just watching the meter refill at its normal rate. Maybe?

Ok guys I didn't see this one before but you should all go ask for a potency buff on my post about this...I argue that he needs at least 60% potency. I am willing to use him with his low damage so long as his tm manipulation works correctly. Please go ask on that post as well so EA is likely to see it. MT is great and EA should know that he needs buffing.

Does anybody knows if he really has 87% potency at gear X? Because I can't find the gear which gives that 80% extra potency...
