Idk.. anakin is a very strong character. He just has a simple kit instead of a complex one, which I feel suits his character. He wasn't a thinker or planner. He was a strong fighter that would go into a rage (how un-jedi of him) whenever his family was threatened. That's exactly what he does now! His kit fits his character well and when used with the proper team, he is a very strong character.
(Insert complaint)
"But he is no longer plug and play! They nerfed him by restricting him to galactic republic!"
True, but that also makes sense. He still gets a bonus turn, taking advantage if the enemies moment of triumph in defeating your ally to strike back. However his righteous anger 100% damage buff only applies if that defeated ally was a friend of his.
Overall his rework thematically is spot on, and let's him be powerful within a team that he synergize with.
Get your padme next time and get them all to G12 and try using anakin in the team that is built to work with him, then come back and explain why his rework wasnt sufficient.
I totally agree! I just think that he should be more useful on a jedi lineup than he is now. After all, he never really supported the Galactic Republic as much.
Also, he still gets a bonus turn, but with his simple kit as you mentioned there is not much you can do against the enemies. I definitely believe he was a better character than what CLS was at than point and he is nothing close to that.
The CLS argument doesn't hold it's ground. You are comparing a 3,5 year old cantina+node farm toon to a Hero's Journey character. This is a game on a holotable, not accurate Star Wars lore. Take into account the difficulty of obtaining the toon, not realistic power levels. (Or if you really insist on the lore, Anakin being used with GR makes a lot more sense than being used with Bastila or Revan).
If story-based power levels mattered, Palpatine would have been the meta since he was released, possibly being outperformed by Triumvirate and/or DR only, but since the two eras are so far apart, there's no "realistic" comparison for that either. (Those two actually beat Palpatine, but not because of lore. They are both more recent and much harder to obtain, hence the difference in performance).
