I absolutely love the concept of a Jedi Leia to lift JMLS. However, the execution of this one leaves much to be desired. For example. Both unique abilities are essentially just statboosts. They just give Leia a lot of stats and some immunities, which I find a somewhat boring way to design a unique ability.
But what I dislike the most about this kit, is that it doesn't synergize, both with itself and her recommended allies. Her 2nd Unique's Omciron gives her 50% Potency for example. But her first unique already makes all her attacks unresistable. So what exactly is that potency supposed to do? Not even to mention her 1st Special ability. With how much damage the basic will do thanks to her Offense and Max Health bonusses, plus the fact that Tenacity Up won't help her resist all that much more with the amount of Tenacity her unique gives her, that special is straight up a trap 90% of the time.
But it get's so much worse when you consider her allies. Both Jedi Knight Luke and Cal already have ways to grant 100% Counter Chance (Jedi's Will and Configuration - Dual Wield) so Retribution doesn't add much. Plus, with the amount of stats she gains, any additional, from Jedi's Will or Jedi Master's Training for example, isn't gonna be as effective (going from 250% to 300% is less noticeable than going from 100% to 150% after all, another downside of massive stat boosts). Not to mention Cal's constant bonus turns is gonna make buffs expire on him very quickly, making buff sharing not nearly as potent with him.
Finally, JMLS himself. Their synergy is the worst of them all. Inherited Teachings is a granted ability that allows allies to recover protection and deal damage based on JMLS's Max Protection. But Leia's own basic deals damage based on her offense and health. The only effect it has that would still be useful with that granted ability is the Healing Immunity. While that can be useful, compared to Jedi Knight Luke's buff dispel, Critical damage Reduction, and Max Protection increase is clearly a little lackluster. Not to mention that with all the Max Health Leia has, the protection recovery of Inherited Teachings is also not that good for her. Percentage Health damage is going to hurt a lot more for her and burn trough that protection much faster because of it. You don't want to target Leia with it if you don't have to, which is pretty bad for a conquest lifter.
But the absolute worst is that Leia has no protection recovery whatsoever. JMLS is a tank that taunts so long as he has protection. So he wants to recover his protection so he can keep taunting and protection his allies. This is why Hermit Yoda and Shaak Ti are such good allies for him. But there's the problem: Shaak Ti. She's a Galactic Republic Jedi, which Leia actively doesn't want. If she could recover protection herself that wouldn't be a problem, but since she doesn't she has effectively made it so there are scenario's where JMLS is a worse tank than he is now. Let me repeat that: This "conquest lifter", trough a combination of Percentage Health damage vulnerability and less protection recovery, can make JMLS a worse tank. Not in all scenario's, I'll admit. But it's still a mayor problem.
I do like the idea of a Jedi Leia lifter, but this kit specifically ain't it for me. I might make my own version of her thou, as I am a tad inspired by this one. Anyway: Apologies for the somewhat negative post and I hope the feedback helps.
I've made an attempt to fix any discrepancies
To be honest, this wasn't an easy kit to make
