How OP is CLS?

To those complaining its all cls now, well what about before that, and before that, etc. That will never change. Cg designs it so the next toon replaces the next one and you have to use that to stay competitive. The idea that you can use whatever team you want and have mass diversity in arena is a dream...never going to happen (not that i agree with it, but thats reality)

I kick myself every day for not getting him, since he indeed is insanely good. Don't expect a nerf, as that would cause an uproar, and I'm sure he was intended to be as good as they made him.

Anyway, the best option for anyone who doesn't have him is to start working on arena teams that are anti-crit, with abilities like stun/daze/stealth and attacks like annihilate and fracture. The two best options are probably:

General Kenobi (L), zBarriss, zR2D2, Nihilus, Thrawn
Rex (L), General Kenobi, zR2D2, Nihilus, Thrawn

CLS can one shot Rex before Kenobi taunts.

It may be possible, but I've never had that happen before. My Rex is faster than nearly every CLS on my shard, and even if I were to attack a team with a faster CLS, there'd only be a 20% chance of Rex being the target. Also, CLS would have to crit for more than 41k to kill my Rex, which is an amount of dmg I've never seen him do before.

He's not even Jedi Luke...

He made a crit of one of my toons for that exact amount last days. Don't remember if it was GW or 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.

What squad do you run @scuba ?

every single team had chaze

CLS made arena boring...16/20 in top 20 CLS lead, soooo much fun fighting the daily 5 arena matches, when you can choose from CLS lead, or CLS lead, or CLS lead to fight. :)

Don't forget CLS lead :wink:

Him as a char is fine. A nerf on his leadership would bring back some diversity and arena wouldn't be cls lead +4 rebels.

I don't have him, but I don't mind that Luke is the most powerful character. The issue I see is that his synergies line him up with characters that have been paid a disproportionate amount of attention recently. It'll all balance out, it'll just take time.

He runs an ewok team that is pretty much impossible to duplicate without spending a thousand dollars.
