Respectfully disagree on the Chaze nerf/balance.

By themselves, they're cannon fodder. They need to be together to have the synergy to make them great. Sorta like wiggs. And droids. And zaul.

Okay, first, let me say two things:

1) As a general rule, I am opposed to nerfs of any kind. I think they unfairly punish paying customers - and those that "paid" with time and gear.

2) I have no dog in this fight. I can beat Chaze teams and finish #1 arena if I am available around my payout time (that's a different discussion)

Those two things said, I DO think Chaze need to be "balanced". Anyone suggesting that they are not OP to some degree either hasn't played against/with 7* versions at max gear or is simply trying to defend their team. When paired together they do almost everything that they do better than any other character that does them. A tank with an AoE debuff that also calls a strong attacker to assist. An attacker that not only hits like a truck but cleanses and heals - and calls the tank to assist. Both of their basics also have abilities attached to them. Oh, and they both counter most of the time - with those basics.

Now, the above would be a sufficient reason to take a close look at them for rebalancing - but the things that makes it almost a no-brainer are:

1) They can function on virtually any team (unlike Droids or Zaul or even Wiggs - who generally need Wedge in the lead to maximize their effectiveness).

2) They have no direct counter.

3) They are labelled as Rebels - already one of the strongest factions in the game.

@Nikoms565 exactly my point. Together, which I mentioned, they are fantastic. The synergy they have with just two of them makes them plug and play in ANY squad, as you mentioned. You add any combo of boba, zylo, nihilus, rex, GK, etc. etc, super tough team to beat. And yes, most of my top ten has Chaze in their squad from 4* maxed to 7* maxed.

My response to the "nerf Chaze" thing, was based on the fact that alone - according to MY experience from battling them on a daily basis - they get crushed. They need to be together in or to be excellent.

Which is why I mentioned would disagree that they need a nerf. If they were rediculously over powered alone, then the conversation would have merit. I too am generally against Nerfs. There has always been a work around to meta teams, regardless of how stron they are.

My previous examples of zaul, wiggs, droids were only to illustrate that those are factions where the sum is greater than its parts. Together, they are very strong.

Basically brother, we're on the same page.

I'll just add this to your response to @Nikoms565.

I don't even have Chirrut unlocked. Or maybe I do, but at minimal stars.

But somehow "magically" , I've stayed within range of #1 without a crystal refresh on a daily basis. I say magically, because no nerfers believe me anyway as they persist with the idea that chaze needs a nerf, so I must have an innate ability nerfers do not in swgoh. I must be the "David Blaine" of swgoh. No wonder some here need a nerf, they just can't keep up otherwise!
