That is true. I already started farming Sith Trooper and Shoretrooper.

RG seems like such a waste for those who started the game early. I wish he can find his place/synergy just like the new toons they introduce. Especially the ones they introduce after each Star Wars movie.

How about a special ability

Cover Gain the cover buff for one turn. Cover: When an ally is attacked royal guard puts himself between the attacker and his target and takes the hit. If Palpatine is attacked when cover is active gain defense up prior to taking the hit.

That's the power creep.. new chars decimated old chars haha. I can imagine use RG in GK zariss timeout team. RG is fit imo with team with large health pool. But not with papa palpi :sweat_smile:

The only Palpatine royal guard synergy at the moment is that Palpatine has a mass stun, royal guard can follow that up and stun anyone Palpatine's didn't catch.

It's not enough to be useful imo.

You mean taunt. Because that's what cover sounds like.

Maybe they mean even characters that ignore taunt

I admit, I'm a bit hooked on RG. Probably should think about dropping him but love him being there, in the fray.

His zeta should just give Palpatine Crit Immunity while Royal Guard is active. That alone would be enough to keep Palp from being one-shotted without the Taunt ever happening.

Moved to correct sub forum.

I love RG.

Moderately geared he's one of only a handful that are useful to throw in one of those 'annoying' TW defense squads and watch the enemy undersend the amount of offense they need, lose and get frustrated

Come on SWGOH please look into this. Give RG a purpose!
