General Skywalker needs Rework or Separate Data crone

After having battled with many new Characters that has been introduced to the game so far (Most new but some old as well), It's my conclusion that General Skywalker needs rework like the development team did recently with characters like Grand Moff Tarkin, Lord Vader, etc...

I will state the facts that I have come to understand so far. I will refer General Skywalker as GS.

  1. General Skywalker needs to have Stun Immunity
    (With all the passive description with the character it's a necessity that GS needs Stun Immunity in order for him to face characters like Supreme Leader Kylo Ren otherwise with this legends' increased speed stat and Continual Stasis Strike although he gains critical hit immunity without his team, he will in vain be defeated without even striking even once)
  2. General Skywalker needs to have Instant kill Immunity.
    (With all the Leader description mentioning that he can't be killed while his 501st team is active and all, Instant Kill Immunity is a Must for GS otherwise his team is defenseless. I mean what is the point of this leader conditions without this immunity. This really impacts his Team while facing Jedi Master Kenobi team cause the Commander Ashoka Tano characters Force Leap ability activates with the 1st turn regardless its cooldown and until Tano uses this ability she also got damage immunity which is untouchable)
  3. General Skywalkers Cover Status Effect needs Rework (BUG)
    (GSs' Cover clearly states that it's immune to damage and status effects. However, whenever you face Sith Eternal Emperor, he will use Link Status effect on GS cause he will be in Advance mode and eventually GS will lose his protection bar and will become Linked. Whenever this happens, he will go to Cover Mode and will never go to Advance until his whole team gets Decimated. Even if he gets back to fight after GSs' team is defeated he got no protection at all and is really vulnerable. To me, this seems to be a BUG rather than a fact that needs Rework.)

General Skywalker character is somewhat old now considering the newly introduced characters in the Star Wars Galaxy of Heros. No matter, apart from the duly mentioned areas, I have faced most of the squads in the game but nearly got a hard time defeating them with General Skywalkers Team which proves he is still a really worthy character in game. However General Skywalker deserves much more in the game considering the Star Wars Saga. Apart from the Old Republic Legend Raven who moved from light to dark and then again back to light, General Skywalker is the only other Jedi who got that experience.

So far, these areas are the critical ones that I have faced when battling with GSs' 501st team. Hope this goes to the Development Teams Attention and we will see results as soon as possible.

  • It’s more likely they’ll add a new 501st character to the team instead of reworking him. Jesse, Kix, or maybe someone more unique like Yularen. 

  • The fact that a non-GL struggles against GLs is not a reason to rework that toon. That's ridiculous. GLs are supposed to beat up on non-GLs. 

    Sometimes I think he could use a touch-up, but I am thinking more along the lines of locked Tenacity UP at the beginning of the battle until the end of his first turn and for 2 turns after he comes out of Cover. (He returns to Advance, gains locked Tenacity UP, takes his bonus turn, and then keeps TenUP until the end of his next turn.)

    This would do literally nothing against SLKR or SEE, but it would make him more effective against some dark side teams that throw around a lot of debuffs but, IMO, he should still beat. 

    He is supposed to be one of the best non-GLs after all, but yes, he's not a GL and shouldn't receive any buff that allows him to beat them.
