Is CLS still viable?

CLS is viable in raids, arena and especially tw/th. He has a special mission or 2 in tb. And CLS walls stand their ground pretty well in tw.

I run a hybrid CLS team in arena and stay top 30 of my 2+ year old shard (dominated by palp teams, a few RJT teams, rex and 3 traya teams)

If they broke the game no one would still be playing it.

It's like you have to sign a form where you promise to use hyperbole before you're allowed to make an account here.

I can't deny that you're using "broken" the wrong way but ok.

Okay, well, if thats so i will go for him next month when he comes around! Thank you!

Btw, any tips about the bare minimum needed to get him 7*? I got the toons up to 7* lvl 80, what about theit ability lvl? For mods i will use my arena mods.

For all events assume that you need all abilities full upgraded except for omegas and zetas and some omegas.

In general i would advise gear 8 though you may need gear 9 for either fbl or sth.

The big advantage of cls if you dont use him in arena is thats its an easy way to solo rancour or help a small guild throuh haat. It also identifies you as a serious player and makes you more attractive for big guilds which means better tw and tb rewards.

Luke is great in raids. He can solo (as in, by himself) the rancor raid, is a part of an AAT solo team, and is needed for the Chex Mix team in the sith raid.

He’s also needed in territory battles, and works well in territory wars. And he can still work in arena, even though he’s not in the current meta. He does solid amounts of damage, counters, inflicts debuffs, and his most useful zeta spreads turn meter to allies even when he’s not the leader. He’s good to have in all areas of the game except fleet.

CLS is still hugely viable!

One of the top 10 characters in the game. If not top 5.

BTW he's still the #4 leader on the meta report at 10%.

He will always be viable, he is still one of the stongest toons in the game. The only question is: is he viable enough? When they began to break the game with OP toons and Hero's journey toons they undertook something which has no turning back. They can't nerf every toon at the same time, they will just continue releasing ridiculously strong toons to break the meta they previously created.

Uh, we broke the game with CLS, what are we gonna do? Imagine the scenario of that meme where the guy saying the clever thing gets thrown out of the window: release more CLSs but stronger! Rework toons to make them ridiculously OP! Simply nerf cls and go on releasing normal toons so the game is balanced and the better strategy wins!

...

*gets thrown out of the window.

They released CLS and they broke the game. So they released Rey and they broke it further in addition to breaking cls too. When every single player from 20 to 1 in every arena had the same team, hey! I have a perfect idea! Let's take Palp and Vader and let's make them ridiculously strong! So we won't have to work on another OP char and we can sell other OP toons as a remedy to this meta. And here we are. The current meta. We just have to wait until they release something which is even stronger than Palp+Vader+ZSion.
