General Grievous rework

With Grievous being the most expensive character in the game and the amount of money required to spend to get him, i have to say I am really disappointed. I have had him 7 star for a while now, never used him for anything. I can't even find a way he would be useful. His health is terribly low, he is really slow and his damage is above average at best.

Even with the mods you can only just about get him to a level where he is acceptable compared to other characters that have not been given mods.

I really do expect him to be 10x better. Maybe just giving him the same evasion lead ability as old Ben would make him viable in a droid team, but he really does need some drastic rework made. As I mentioned, he is really expensive to get.

Would be interested in hearing some dev feedback on this.

    The thing is, he isn't intended to be a murder machine that's in a tier above other characters. He's not intended to be something you rush to get. He's intended to be something to do with the extra shards you've gotten over time--that's all.

    He hits like a truck, having one of the highest base attacks in the game. He's slow, but that can be adressed with HK-47 or even Lobot as a leader and Poggle or Jawa Engineer as allies. He's not supposed to be a one man wrecking crew, but part of a larger team.

    (I hate his Health Down debuff, though... Either needs more potency so the turn meter reduction hits more reliably, or it needs to be replaced with something else entirely. It's such a liability on defense knowing that his third attack won't do anything useful.)

    Damn he's one of the most powerful toon of the game!!!!
    I'm running a droid team: hk, 88, 100, je and grievous.
    First round is like 15-20k aoe round plus free round (thx hk) for everyone.
    Third attack is lame???? Are you crazy? -50% health for 2 round, on Rg is like -15k after it's a way easy to kill him on focus fire

    I repeat, don't you dare touch my grievous!!!

    He might be getting a buff as soon as the 2nd Raid (AAT-Tank Raid) comes out, since General Grievous is in that particular raid as well.

    First and foremost, i'd love to see them increase his model-size with at least 15-20 %.

    His current model is tiny.

    He is not good, at least not arena viable... he deserves more, he was/is one of the hardest characters to unlock and 7☆
    If they change him they will make him better, so you don't need to worry
