Theres a lot of him that bothers me! He doesnt even synergize well with droids..he awkwardly fits in there if youve tried maybe in place of 88? even then hes too slow. Then his life is too low and hes too slow to be on his own. Ive decided to put him in an aoe dooku team which is even more awkward.

Dooku, Sid, Anakin, Maul, GG
which is built around anakin...and he needs a buff too maybe an RG version of when life gets to 25% or something. I interchange 88 and maul depending on if there is jedis.

Also tried a tankier AOE Dooku, phasma, kylo, Anakin, GG which works pretty well.

I pretty much was like dooku meta sucks and was like if i AOE enough people will die. Its all random and its possible its just rough if a lumi heal goes off. I dont care what kind of team i put him on i just want him on it and i want it to be competitve. I had to think like him..slow and counterishy to see what could work.

All his gear is set to +damage and even that output is average at best. So far his only benifits is he hits dooku without getting countered. Sinister laugh has been useless as its too late by the time he uses it. Leader ability is useless if there is some characters with over 50% crit chance anyways and this meta is about buff up not crits.

I know there isnt a big pool of people using him but it would help to know. I hope hes not simply a trophy. In any case ive gone this far I'm bringing him to 80 and hopefully hes much happier there.

Hopefully im not the only one that feels this way, but just imagine you getting a 7* version of him just to find out hes just as good as snowtrooper.

In the meanwhile Ewoks are the fun comp these days! Such synergy such turns such battlecries. Maybe have the awkward general in a group of ewoks! perfect.

I agree he is a very awkward toon for any squad. His speed and life total really do cripple him. The forcing Allies taunt usually works out badly when it goes off on Rey or other low life toon. That's assuming he didn't get one shotted also, which happens more than the taunt.

His gear is worst in the game to get and each piece provides very little (like the mk6 blow dryers). His damage is slightly above average but no where near RP, RT, and the likes of them.

I use him bc I like him but my team would be much stronger if I substituted almost any other toon in his place. They haven't said anything about helping him out, so I doubt we'll see any changes. As far as lvl 80 goes, he doesn't gain much. He actually increases far less than MOST of the other characters will. He gets more damage, which stays in about the same slightly above average damage tier in comparison to other toons. He gets way less health increase than other toons. While he does get a speed increase (to 103 at lvl 90 cap, still 97 at lvl 80 cap) it comes later and in comparison to most other toons speed increases it is small. So he will still hit better than average, but he will be SLOWER, AND LESS HEALTH relative to the other toons and how it is now.
