Finally!I hope it is a great rework too!https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/89005/game-update-1-25-2017-comments-and-questions-megathread/p1

Kylo Ren is the main villain of The Force Awakens but unfortunately, he is not viable in every mode in the game. He deserves to be reworked so that players can use him again. Anyway, here's my idea on a rework for him.Kylo RenDark Side, First Order, AttackerAggressive First Order attacker that can crush enemies and reuse special attacks when damagedPower - 9018Speed - 159Health - 24,448Ragged Cut (Basic) - Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Bleed them for 2 turns. Bleeding enemies take 15% more damage when attacked, deal Damage Over Time, and cannot gain Health.Damage: 3631 - 3907Lash Out (Special) - Deal Physical damage to all enemies and inflict Ability Block for 1 turn and remove 20% turn meter. If this attack scores more than one Critical Hit, Kylo Ren attacks again. (4 turn cooldown)Damage: 3197 - 3501Force Stun (Special) - Deal Physical damage to target enemy and Stun them for 3 turns. Also remove all positive status effects if Stun is successful. (3 turn cooldown)Damage: 4587 - 5143Master Of The Knights Of Ren (Leader) - First Order allies have +35 Speed and a 30% chance to gain Foresight for 2 turns whenever they attack an enemy. Whenever an ally is Critically Hit, they gain 55% Turn Meter and Retribution for 1 turn. Unstopabble (Unique) - Kylo has a 50% chance to reset his cooldowns whenever he is damaged. This chance is doubled whenever he suffers a negative status effect.

The rework you suggest here makes me smile, I spent so much resources into him when I was new to the game. I came to swgoh right after Episode VII and he was very hyped at that time. The unique mechanic (bleed) would make his usually ignorable character noticeable. And that leader ability could help get FO into a possible meta, the only criticism to this is I feel Lash Out might be too good here, all his other moves are super helpful and the fact that with this he is a 5 moveset character, it has to be balanced out. I would say Lash Out AoE ability blocks and removes 20% turn meter, on critical hit, this attack goes again, no speed down mechanic. With Phasma's Victory March this move would be guaranteed to have the bonus attack, but forces the player to not mindlessly spam Victory March and use it more coherently with Kylo Rens kit. All and all, I hope this character does get a tweek, Im embarrassed with how much gear I dumped into him -.- and good suggestions @Velocitious =)

I like the proposed idea a lot. Especially if Galaxy of Heroes could add other Ren Knights in the future. I do like Outrage though. The 75% more damage when Kylo hits under 50% health has saved my life a few times and evened the odds, but I am interested to see Force Stun and a leadership perk. Kylo could definitely do with a leadership passive considering his position in the First Order

When I was new to the game, I also did the same thing as you. When I first saw Kylo Ren in the game, I bought so many Chromium Data packs just to get him. I was really disappointed when I watched a video about Kylo Ren and realized he is weak in the game. I edited the Lash Out ability as what you said. I agree, Kylo and Phasma would be great together because of Victory March. Do you think that Kylo should attack again if he crits while attacking the second time? I was thinking a maximum of only 3 attacks so that he won't be OP. I hope the developers rework Kylo so that he'll be great again.

This would buff the First Order faction since they're one of the weakest factions right now. Adding Ren Knights in the game would make the First Order stronger. I think that Force Stun is better than Outrage as Kylo Ren does this in The Force Awakens but doesn't do it in the game. Anyway, thanks for your feedback! I appreciated it.

Sorry for the late replies lol.

While we're making our wishlists for 2017, lets not forget to ask that the devs OP every character that p2p players throw money at. That way, its more about money and less about something some of us like to call "strategy." If your only concerns at the moment are strengthening a minor flaw in 1 of a bajillion team sets and possible synergies in an already OP'd p2p deck, then I'd say you're already sitting pretty royal above the rest of us.

Yes, but Kylo Ren is a farmable character. The reason why I want to buff him is because he is pretty weak for a powerful character in the movie. Also, many players were disappointed when they realized that Kylo Ren isn't viable. I'm sure many players will be happy if he gets a buff.

So many people are sitting on old Ren I think it more then likely that we'll just get a new Wren toon for Episode 8. He'll have cracks in his armor and helmet, count as Sith as well as FO, and be completely different.

Probably. The new character could also have a Ren Knight tag, along with his knight buddies.

I like the addition of force stun, however I'm not sure foresight is applicable to kylo. Just because he really isn't the foreseeing type. Lash out has a nice touch but I've always like his retribution and I think that should still play a part in his kit. I don't really think he is a leader yet, just because of his current role, is also say replace the leader with an ability called,
Probe the mind: at the beginning of the round kylo ren selects a target. That target has speed down, health down, defense down, and offense down for the rest of the match.

I felt that the force awakens focused on kylo's ability to really affect the minds of his victims and gain intel on them.

Otherwise good ideas here

Foresight suits him. Remember at the start of The Force Awakens, he stops Poe's blaster bolt from hitting him, which is awesome. If Kylo should have Retribution every time he uses Lash Out, then he should have counter chance from his unique instead having that buff because - Counter Chance > Retribution. He should be a leader because he was like the leader of the First Order, next to Snoke.

I would love a Kylo Rework as his is completely useless and does practically no damage

Agreed. Even an Ewok is stronger and more useful than him.

Everyone Is gonna have to wait for Ep. 8 to get new knights of ren added, as for Kylo I definitely feel like he deserves that force stun considering he stops blaster bullets mid-air with it in TFA. Honestly his force stun is the ONLY reason that I feel like he's an impactful character (especially after seeing his face...), its also his signature Sith ability alongside his strange saber.

The Area attack you propose however is essentially Old ben's Special ability minus the offensedown and converted into an attack with Ackbar's tactical genius up.

Lol, Maul is already amazing. He just needs his AOE Daze bug fixed and maybe a boost in his base speed stat, and I'd be super happy with that.

Edit: lol at 3Cheers, great minds......

Um, Darth Maul is one of the best heroes. He just needs more base speed and a daze fix then he'll be perfect.

I said Maul because I heard complaints from others, but I am not to that point. Busy with other characters.

If he is good I will probably focus that direction soon especially witb Kylo Ren fixed.

I know it's unlikely for them to give him a zeta with Phasma already having one & I hope this doesn't get one tbh. Just a fix for his horrible tech.
I am personally really hoping he receives an AoE debuff.

Resistance has 3 characters that can get a zeta

Big fan of the sequels so far, honestly hype leading up to The Force Awakens is the only reason I stumbled upon this game.

I admire your commitment Aero.
I halted @ G9 due to his unfortunate Lack.
Full steam ahead now.
Literally one of my favourite SW characters & it's great to see his toon finally get the opportunity to reflect my opinion of his power.

Agreed, fantastic character. The people that don't like him, or call him whiny, just don't know anything about character development.

Finally, the character I named myself after gets some dev love
Now just make him not lose to Rey so easily in the next movie, and we will be golden (I'm fine if he loses to Luke tho that makes sense, but the fact he lost already to someone who had never used a lightsaber before just made no sense, even tho I get why it happened).

Might have to switch from an empire team to a FO team in the coming months, sorta like the movies.
