Iden Versio kit idea! Make an inferno squad faction

inflict all that debuts back? that makes darth vader or tarkin unusable

How about this:

If a debuffed enemy inflicts a debuff on Iden Versio, she inflicts that debuff on them. Whenever Iden Versio is stunned she gains 50% speed for 1 turn.

I have now updated Iden's kit again: she now is slightly less OP. Some may say that now we have Palpatine ruling arena, an Empire boost isn't required - but really, this is a SITH meta, as the triumvirate is so powerful. Thrawn supercedes the limits of factions, so he doesn't really count, he's just so good.

Note her turn meter gain at the start of the encounter, a valuable aspect when facing Vader.
She also has some interesting synergy with Grand Moff Tarkin, and other turn meter removing characters, as her leader gives allies lots of power to take down these low-turn meter enemies.

I just reread some of it... her leader ability would literally break the game. You could legit go an ENTIRE match without opponent even blinking.

Technically no: take a single attack at the start of the game: the other team will have over 35% turn meter - most likely to be close to 50% - so then no turn meter will be removed. Even when preying on the weak, capitalising every time an enemy takes a turn, you cannot slow down the whole team: one attack removes at maximum 35% turn meter from the enemy, but the trooper only gains 20% turn meter. Assuming equal speed, the next time that trooper takes a turn the enemy will have 80% turn meter.

(Edit) Plus the bonuses are drastically reduced by daze

Sorry, misread it!

In fact, her leadership might be a bit underpowered, reviewing it, especially compared to something like Palpatine. Of course, it shouldn't be as good as that, but perhaps all other allies also gain 5% turn meter when this happens.

She seems OP. Undispellable buffs are meant to be just that. Undispellable.

Technically, Palpatine would still be able to easily knock this out with all the extra debuffs being cleansed and his zeta. She should be modified to fit raids because she could solo any raid by herself.

Her leader and unique are ok, but her attacks are overpowered. 80% turn meter is quite a lot and bonus damage equal to 20% of Max Health is a lot. Lol. She wins the raid in only 10 turns because of TM removal and 20% Health removal. Seems OP please nerf.

OK, thanks a Calastar, good feedback. I think you're right, I'll remove the dispel of undispellable debuffs. Of course, her third ability is weak like all cleansers against Palpatine, but as with all Empire troopers they are not meant to fight their Emperor. Also instead of inflicting those debuffs on all enemies, she may only inflict them on target enemy and one other random enemy, but give inferno squad allies turn meter for dispelled debuffs.

I hadn't considered the OP of inferno squad in the raids, so I'll do as you suggest, and add a clause which limits this against raid bosses.

80% turn meter can perhaps be nerfed to 60%, but I wouldn't reduce it any further as she has no debuff or buff bonuses, so this is the main characteristic of her attack.

20% max health is not a lot of damage; Raider Han can take out around 75% of any decent character's health easily! Similarly, Nihilus can insta-kill, so as again this attack has no other characteristics I'd say 20% max health damage is a fair balance, to make her viable.

Changes now implemented.
