I'm curious to see what other people think of as where JKL is going to fit into the game. Here's my opinions/predictions on how he'll be utilized over the first couple months following his release.Arena: I'm not so sure we're going to see a ton of him in the arena, or if we do, it'll be as a 5th for GL Rey, rather than as a lead. Sure, he can probably make a Jedi team that can take out DR, but with so many other options that people have available for that I'm not sure anyone who can unlock JKL on round 1 won't have a better option. Raids: He'll probably perform fairly well here, especially under a JKR lead. I don't expect to see his lead being used, since it can't limit bosses' speed. You'll probably get a minor boost to your HSTR scores, but nothing game changing like with GAS or SLKR.GAC: Another minor boost. Sure, he'll be able to make your Jedi better than they would be under JKR, but it'll be more of a one or the other, not both, since they're going to require a lot of the same toons.TB: It seems like this is what JKL was designed for. He'll be a leader that will make a second Jedi team viable for LSTB. I wouldn't be surprised to see him leading GAS, Ahsoka, Hoda +1 very effectively, allowing you to keep your GK/JKA for Padme. Whether or not anyone will have him before they don't need him anymore (due to getting KAM at 7* as another route for a viable Jedi team), only time will tell, I guess.

Well, alongside KAM he could turn old GR Jedi into a half-decent team. Because this isn't a Luke kit. This was supposed to be the Mace rework. It's a silly conspiracy theory and I'm totally buying into it.

Luke makes up for the damage loss from losing the bonus and then adds to it. They will still have high damage output due to Luke. You need to pay better attention. Did you read the kits? I don't see a 20% offense in either of them. But KAM gives offense to GR Jedi based on max health, but without all Jedi being GR Jedi they will still be super weak. Jedi's Will will add 25% offense, but 25% of crap is still crap.On KAM his ability gives +30speed, +40% max health and +20% offense of all allies are GR Jedi. These will be missed. The second part of the ability will happen. This gives all GR Jedi that are support or healers offense equal to 10% of their max health. So let me give you an example of a team that would be good with KAM under a JKL lead. JKL lead, KAM, zBarris, Hoda and GMY. JKL’s lead will give all your Jedi 30% CC and CD. It will also help make up for the missing speed from kams ability we don’t get by slowing down all the opponents faster then Luke when he takes his first turn. He also gives out Jedi’s will which gives 100% counter chance, +25% speed and offense. And Hoda will give out +25% offense. Let’s look at GMY as an example. I can get my GMY to 74k health and around 10,800 special damage. With the bonus from KAM he will gain 7,400 offense to his special damage when the fight starts. He goes to 18,200 SO. Then if you give him Jedi Will and the Hoda buff that is plus another 50%. With both buffs his offense will be 27,300 and he will ignore defense. zBarris can get to 120k health and 4,700 offense at relic 5. That will put her offense around 16,600 before the other two buffs would take effect and she would ignore defense. She would also be really really hard to kill with her zeta and she counters attack dealing solid damage. Just one example but Luke can help overcome the ability KAM would lose and still have a really effective Jedi teamunder Luke lead. So they can be really good together.

Don't know about synergy, but he seems like a great plug and play character. Unavoidable and unresistable mass stun seems really, really strong. Time Walk strong (google it, young padawan). He might find a home in a lot of teams, as Thrawn does.

Keep in mind that it can be cleansed, so not working for self cleansing teams. A good example would be SE.

Team combs? HYoda and ... Left over Jedi's? JKR and Jolee... Maybe?
What if we put in Rey under a JKL lead? What about Baby Yoda?

Not much use tbh at least on paper.
