Hera zeta - Recommendation
I would just like to state for the record that the dispel in the zeta ability is inconsistent with the gameplay mechanics of other characters like bastila Shan, shaak ti and others. This greatly dimin...

She is not over powered, but when you are first starting the Phoenix squad is such a pain, it takes a long time to get to a point you can actually beat them, hera is a stepping stone, the Phoenix team basically folds up once you start getting better teams and that's their purpose, they should be less effective then other teams because they are as effective as they need to be in early game, if she had to much more it would break a balance in the early game
Let me put this in a different context. It might not land but hopefully it does.
In any game, the beginning phases are generally to teach you the mechanics and to help you understand how things are going to play out. As you progress, new and more detailed mechanics are added which complicate your experience and hopefully make achievements more rewarding as you (or your community ) have "solved the puzzle" or at least been able to fold the new content into a category you can plan for. Without redesigning your game, the only new information / content generally consists of new interpretations of what you know or are a very well played layer on top of what you know. (Relics are a good example of this second point).
I am not saying that Hera, in her early form, shouldn't have the ability to dispel her Phoenix allies before calling them to assist. I'm saying it is setting a precedent that gets immediately changed with Bastila, Hoda, Shaak Ti, etc. And if early game is to be a mechanical tutorial, this creates a very obvious conflict of said mechanic. I also understand these aren't "early" game characters. So in this case, I think it's all the more important to call this specific issue out in the kit which it currently doesn't. Clarity would go a long way. And for us older players, having the mechanic adjusted (even if it's to be as intended) is in direct conflict to years of game experience and a very sharp poke in the eye. Again, not saying that it shouldnt' be this way, I'm just saying it's a very unique mechanic that is in direct conflict with every other similar mechanic in the game today.
