Imo he needs a nerf. Before him there was diversity to arena which was fun. Now it's just put a bunch of rebels with CLS and you've made top 20. Also why can he crit for 32k? Are you actually mad?! What the hell is ROTJ Luke supposed to hit for? Interested to hear thoughts.

He's ok by me. I was running droids before him and could barely crack the top 100 in arena. Switched to rebels with cls lead and I'm sitting at 22nd place. I'm happy with my investment.

Can't help but laugh at diversity in the arena. Most of the teams all use pretty much the same the same toons. I was running clones before using cls and pretty much every team that I'd be up against would be some sort nihilus team or a wiggs team.

The thing is even with a nerf he can be meta. It's just he's wayyy to OP atm. His leadership and dmg output is beyond a joke

He is OP. By himself he is one of the most powerful and versatile toons in the game, no question. Well modded and geared he can beat 2-3 other toons in arena, meaning you never count him out.What makes him the OP meta is the relatively recent flood of rebel and light side love. Wiggs, Chaze, R2, GK, Fulcrum Ashoka, and even classic rebels such as raid Han, Leia, and Old Ben getting some love and/or synergy have really pushed cls (and rebels I general) over the edge. On average, light side characters are much faster than dark side ones, have greater tenacity, better unique abilities, and virtually limitless synergy combinations due to the wide variety of competitive light side toons.Its why there are almost no dark side teams in the arena now. When the average light side toon can be faster than a dark side toon under a Maul lead, there isn't much chance for dark side to compete. Plus, there is almost no synergy among dark side toons without going faction-specific, and there just isn't enough variety, farmability, or value in doing so. We need some serious dark side love. For example, give emperor palpatine a unique that says his attacks don't trigger unique abilities from rebels. Give dearth Vader a huge damage and defense boost, and a new ability "force choke" (because, Vader, duh), which removes all protection from the target and gives stagger for two turns. If the target is a rebel, give permanent buff immunity (cannot be dispelled). Make his leader ability include "rebel enemies cannot gain additional turn meter as long as Vader is alive". These changes would slow down the ridiculous rebel assaults, and allow f2p players more flexibility in arena.

This different than Rex +4 or zeta Maul before R2. Cls is a waste as a lead IMO. I hope peeps keep using him makes for easy battles.

Well its luke...hes suppose to be op. Im glad he is as is. Certain chars get the pass on op. Now chaze...who are they....to much op for unknowns. When jedi luke comes i expect even more op...and thats expected. And i agree, ds is in shambles. I hope when GG gets reworked he is godly op....DS deserve it

Okay...so why isn't Vader OP? Nah, it's just lazy game design. CLS is an abomination. Bespin Luke the most powerful in the game is joke and fans of SW should find it ridiculous. It's Bespin Luke, not Jedi Luke or Grand Master Luke. No, it's the whiny kid who was toyed around with by Vader before getting his hand chopped off. Nicely done CG....

Chaze, DN, R2 and CLS = Ridiculous. Sick of this overpowered team. A blind man with a stick, a fat guy with a machine gun is better than most empire/sith toons. Sick of the Rebel garbage.

He's the most OP toon in the game, they even said that when the released him. They're not going to nerf him.

He is not that overpowered. High critical damage and daze can stop him. He does not have the greatest amount of Health or Defense either.
