How OP is CLS?

I am a CLS user... and I find him particularly good! Before.. I was struggling to stay in the top 200 and now, well the numbers speak for themselves, hit 90 yesterday, upto 76 today, dream to use , OP is fine....He is Luke , dammit! Anyway , the new scoundrels seem to be the answer to him... I expect a rant on how op they are in the next few months when they become ftp.

I'm glad they begin to introduce other good toons than rebels, specialy on smugler who really needed it, and finaly boba lead will be usefull.
But the cls kit is so strong that he will always on a team for arena,like the chaze combo had since many months.And just take a look at his utility even on raids, his kit of abilities have no egal.

Boba lead is bounty hunter, not scoundrels. I guarantee you that the new scoundrels will have no impact on the current meta. No stealth, too squishy, no good tanks, will get destroyed by counters

What squad do you run scuba ?

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

They didn't cost that much.

Well you bought the packs, right? I was guessing at how much it would cost to build that team now. I had looked at it a bit because I liked what you were doing, but it didn't seem realistic with all 3 new ewoks not farmable.

I did. I got lucky on the drops for logray and wicket. Already had most of the gear.

I think he is definitely powerful but he is beatable in Arena.

The main issue I have with him is the reduced variety that he has brought into many aspects of the game.

1. In my shard, out of the top 20, I would say at least 15 players have CLS in their team. Out of those 15, 90% have Raid Han, GK and R2D2 - there is literally NO variety at all in the high-end of the arena. I usually drop anywhere to 15th up to 25th overnight and my 5 battles to get back into the top 5 are pretty much all against CLS leads of some form - I can beat CLS leads, but its boring!

2. Since the release of CSL, my GW has also become stagnant. Since his release, EVERY single day without fail, my Node 12 has been a CLS lead - there hasn't been 1 single leader variation. Afew weeks down the line, and my node's 9, 10 & 11 are also frequently CLS leads too! Before CLS I only had to use my arena team on Node 12 - I now have to use my arena team usually at least 2 out of the last 4 battles, sometimes all 4.

I see that issue with all the "new" shiny toys. DN everywhere, Thrawn everywhere, golden trio was everywhere for a while.

Hell my GW for the easy nodes are mostly Luminara leads.
What did cls change in my GW... Went from Luminara/gk leads to Luminara/cls leads

Same old same old with any new character that is actually useful.

CLS is overpowered, he made the area a joke. GW not fun dealing with the last 3-4 squads with him as leader with rebels. I used to be able to finish GW 95% of the time now I am lucky to get 5%. Yes, I don't have him. I didn't have time to farm/money when he came out. If I had know how much of a game changer he was going to be I would have took a loan out to get him. He is all of Phoenix Squad rolled into one, nah better. All he has to do is kill Hera, and that's easy to do since taunt doesn't work on him. Oh look let's go to Cloud City and get my hand cut off, but nah taunt doesn't work on him.

The only real nerf he needs is to remove the 100% TM and 40% Health and Protection from Call to Action. That **** is insane. Its basically "heal to full,dispell all debuffs on self, double your damage, and go again". Honestly, the devs were insane to include all that **** in a single character, let alone a single ability. If he just dispelled his debuffs and gained Call to Action that would be perfectly fine, but to have all that extra stuff is just plain crazy. One other thing that is also dumb is giving 50% counter chance without a damage penalty to, of all factions, REBELS. They all hit like F'ing trucks already! Just these 2 changes and he would still be the best character in the game, but he wouldn't be as blatently OP

Actually that's the only time I can kill him because he has 100% tenacity until he uses that special. So if he just only used basic he would kill every too since he counters for like 10k. But you are right, he's op

Launch shard.

47/50 gold CLS teams.

Nuff said.

please plea for buffing ds, not nerfing ls. nerf is a pain for anyone who has it. buffing underpowered characters is a better way to bring back balance
