Ideas for Kits/Reworks for Anakin and his Clone Wars Friends
A little while back, I posted an idea for a Jedi Knight Anakin rework. I didn’t get very much good feedback, however, because it was too game-breaking and, in the words of one particular comment, “made Jedi Knight Revan look like an eight-year-old boy with a glow stick”. After much brainstorming, I think I have this Anakin rework idea figured out. Not only will I be showcasing my new idea for an Anakin rework, however. In this discussion I will also share my ideas for characters who would synergize the best with him in an Anakin-led team. These characters include Jedi Master Obi-Wan (as seen in Revenge of the Sith), Captain Rex, Ahsoka Tano, and most important of all, Padmé Amidala. I have created kit/rework ideas for each of these characters and, after analyzing them deeply, believe that this may be the team to take Anakin into the meta. I believe this team is beatable, but only through careful strategy. Don’t expect to be automatically beating this team every time. Not without Revan, anyway.
The first character that I will showcase is Jedi Master Obi-Wan, a graceful Jedi Tank who Surprises his enemies at the start of the battle with a Taunt. I believe this version of Obi-Wan, should he come to the game, would synergize better with Anakin than he has before.
Hopefully, most of you get the joke when it comes to Obi-Wan’s first unique. The second kit I will showcase is the rework for Ahsoka Tano, which will be quite similar to her current kit when it comes to her focus on health regeneration.
As the padawan of Anakin, it should be natural that she synergizes better with him. The same goes for Obi-Wan, who, in his current Clone Wars appearance as General Kenobi, doesn’t currently synergize as well with his apprentice as he should. Another character Anakin should have close synergy to is Captain Rex, who I have given a relatively smaller rework so that Anakin can synergize better with his second-in-command of the 501st Legion.
I changed the title of his leader ability because Rex can work well not just with his brothers in arms, but also with non-Clone allies such as Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka. As for the title of his new unique, I hope you enjoy the callback to the good old days of the Clone Wars.
Now, Padmé has yet to be introduced to the game, and so I think coming up with a kit for her was the second-hardest part of this brainstorm. I say second-hardest because a lot of trial and error was used in the making of my new Anakin rework idea. If this Padmé kit idea is too overwhelming or underwhelming, I’m sorry. But see what you think about this:
Again, apologies if you don’t like the kit. However, if you do like it, let me know. This could be a potential starting block for when Padmé’s actual kit is designed.
And last, but definitely not least, the man, the myth, the legend, the Chosen One himself: Anakin Skywalker. I have thought long and hard about this kit, and have incorporated elements of his current kit and my previous draft into this kit here. Please join me in saying...this is where the fun begins.
Well, there you have it. The fan made version of Anakin’s well-deserved rework, along with his greatest friends from the Clone Wars era. What do you think? Too powerful? Or could this be beaten easily? Whatever your answer is, I firmly believe that if anyone deserves to be the most powerful character in Galaxy of Heroes, it’s the Chosen One.
