Gar Saxon.
He's a non-taunting tank and keeps getting prot, health steal and def with the relic...lol.
He needs damage, DAMAGE.

It's a good thing then that he increases his damage by 40% and his crit chance jumps from 35 to 50.

It is not an increase as chunky as b1's 75%, though, but when one considers both damage and cc, it's an increase of 49% in his damagd output (before mods).

they never said that, they said eventually they could get a new ability, and nothing was said that it will be level 7 where you get it. most likely it would be level 8 or 9 when a new ability comes and most likely when a newer currency is needed to get those levels as well

Fun fact: while being an absolute powerhouse, General Grievous' relic ups his damage by 49%.

That's as much as Gar Saxon's relic.

And much less than B1's relic, which gives an impressive 75%. Grand Master Yoda's relic also gives a 75% additional damage.

Not that B1 or GMY give the absolute maximum increase in damage. Jedi Knight Anakin, for instance, gains 87% damage.


So... yeah. I don't really know. Many people seem to be upset with B1's relic giving "only" an increase of 75% while no mention is made of Grievous' relic giving "only" 49%. Then again, Grievous' damage output is much bigger than B1's even after the increase, but that's a problem that already existed before. They have different roles in the team, Grievous was already brokenly powerful, with relics he is still brokenly powerful, and relics were never promised to be objects to equalize the power level of every character.

With the exception of people that already have every toon 7* and gear 12, isn't it a good thing that some relics don't seem worth it? That's less decisions that need to be made about gear allocation.

There are lots of wasted gear pieces/bonuses. Physical damage toons getting special damage bumps, special damage toons getting physical damage bumps, etc. It's always been that way. I've been procrastinating taking B1 to G12 because I need to put a Stun Gun on, from which he receives almost no benefit.

yes it does they never said every body will get a new ability....
``some may eventually gain access to untapped power in the future`` (from the relic amp video)
``immense character power, including potentially brand-new abilities, `` (from the road ahead where they first mentioned relics)
