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.

Accurate statement is accurate.

Almost as if you have to start low if you want the character arc to have more impact when it finishes high.

Exactly. There are 2 more movies to go. To put it in wrestling terms he has to get his heat (anger towards him). To the people that hate him, GOOD! He's doing his job. You're not supposed to like the bad guys.

Did they happen to fix his stance? For some reason to me he looks lame all crouched over.

I always wonder, what scene is it exactly, that people think Kylo Ren is whining in.

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.

One son of mine is ResistanceFinn (January log in) and the other KyloRen (February log in)

So yea they both got reworks on their in game namesake and favorite characters.

Very cool for them! Love the family SW fun!

I certainly look forward to KR's rework. Poor bastage has been needing it for quite some time. His mask needs to go now, since he ditched it in E7, and since he has an epic new face scar thanks to Rey!

Well it seems you are extremely well off then. Nice

I didn't do too bad myself, Finn I will need for speed mods, Kylo is my fav character and I want to run FO around when Ep8 comes out, and I currently run empire+b2 so krennic and DT are exactly what I need to stay on top of all the zetas I will get next august.

It is from film in general
Spoiler
1. Very first sсene: killing oldman (the real informator) just for fun? The most stupid thing ever.
2. The same scene. Instead for announce search for droid he just remove all troops with some pilot. Really?
3. What's his 'credo': 'I just want to be like ~~dad~~ grandfather'. And that's it. There is no depth in it at all.
4. He smashing valuable equipment just 'in rage'. Veeeeery wise.
5. He lost to girl with no knowlege in force.
6. He made the same mistake in cantina like in first scene. 'Ok, we lost many men, girl saw the map, let's just return back. Again? Really? What about search for droid again?!

All in all Vader in ep. 4 was competent leader, Kylo is just winy

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.

He is hands down the absolute worst Dark jedi, sith, whatever ppl wanna call him. To say that's character development is rediculous. He is whiny, he is weak, and he couldn't even sense an untrained force sensitive when she was literally right in front of his face.

Edit; But he is another character to collect as long as they can make him decent.
