Not sure if this has a dedicated forum discussion or not, but like many of you I'm sure, I like the idea of character synergies between two toons. The Star Wars universe is chock-full of impactful friendships in the lore, and I'm sad that the devs wasted such a cool mechanic on Biggs and Wedge.So, does anyone have any good ideas for additional synergy options? I want to exclude toons that are powerful on their own (while Jedi Knight Anakin and Ahsoka Tano make a lot of sense, Anakin is a great toon on his own; remember, nobody uses either Biggs or Wedge in arena without the other but plenty use Anakin). The goal here is to make more characters viable and offer some new meta changes.Should also note we want to avoid having multiple synergies in the same character subtype, so Wiggs has scoundrels covered (no Luke-Leia, Han-Lando)Some pairs that are pretty obvious:Scoundrels: Dengar-BobaSith: Savage-MaulNightsisters: Daka-VentressJedi: Yoda-Mace maybe? Empire: Veers-TarkinResistance: Poe-FinnFirst Order: Phasma-KyloI'm getting weaker as I go, but some examples of the synergies I'm looking for: Savage and Maul are desperately low on speed and have mediocre damage. So, they both get a speed boost and offense up while the other is out; if one dies, the other "enrages", getting 100% turn meter and advantage immediately, offense up, crit chance/damage up, and speed up for a certain duration. Let me know what y'all think; I think adding a few more synergies could make another dozen toons viable and diversify the meta.

I just realized that having multiple synergistic toons would lead to a meta like Lando lead, Wiggs, and Denba; too much power. So, maybe like a "ally" or "leader" slot, one of your five slots has an optional "synergy" tag. So if you want to use a character combo like Wiggs, you put either Wedge or Biggs in and the game locks you out from having multiple synergy combinations. I know I worded this explanation poorly, bear with me people.

I always wondered why Veers and Tarkin weren't since they are directly related in regards to their empire roles. Besides, Veers is pretty weak and Tarkin is ok.Maul and savage make sense from the clone wars cartoons but maul has limited availability.Some others - Palp and VaderHan and chewie Vader and tie fighter pilotQgj and kenobi

Idk if we want him getting an additional buff. Reason I didn't say Han and Chewbacca is because the Chewbacca in this game is from the Clone Wars time period; a little bit ahead of Han's time. Same with Qui-Gon and Old Ben; now if they made a Padawan-braid-wearing Young Kenobi, great synergy right there (unless the other team has Darth Maul of course)

I would ask for han/kylo synergy ;) ;) ;)

I'm against too many dual synergies. Some characters are fine as-is, and giving them a dual synergy could make them way too good. For example, Maul and Savage is great, as they were essentially by themselves in the Clone Wars. However, Palp and Vader is just crazy, considering how both of them have great standalone value (Vader not really, but under Palp he is much greater). I would only like dual synergies for weakish characters, that are really tight with each other. The toons that are viable right now do not need to be touched.

100% agree, that's why I was going for pairs like Savage/Maul (never see either in arena), Boba/Dengar (same), Veers/Tarkin (again, never see either). It's all about making weaker toons more viable.

I'd love to see new characters with these synergies, namely general Kenobi and JKA, then Jango and Boba.

I can see Anakin and Asohka but I'd rather see Anakin and the new Obi-Wan or General Kenobi we will get (eventually).

I'd like to see Anakin's passive extended to Ahsoka when she's on the same team and he's alive. It won't do anything to make him better, but it will significantly improve her as long as they're on the same team (kinda like what they did with Biggs).

I've also seen other posters here calling for Palp/Vader synergy. I'd like to see this and I think it makes a lot of sense, you also have to keep in mind that under a Palpatine lead, Vader's AOE can pretty much heal him from near dead to full health while granting him 100% TM. They already have pretty good synergy together and so they would definitely need to tone down Palpatine's leader ability before they added anything else.

How about Poe and RP? Maybe when Poe taunts, RP gets a bonus attack and critical chance up? Perhaps it would make them, and resistance squads in general, a LITTLE more viable.

Yup, I agree with those. Boba and Dengar might be stretching it a bit, as I would prefer a rework of boba, because Dengar is okay in things like raids. But having like literally every jedi pair with their padawan/master would be chaos, we don't need dooku and yoda like someone said, they are opposites in the era they are represented in.

I don't understand why Biggs and Wedge got this anyways... did they even know each other? I seriously doubt they knew each other's name. Biggs was Luke's childhood friend. Why wasn't he given a synergy with him?

Old Ben and Luke Skywalker.....both are not bad at max gear but noone play with them. It is shame because both are SWU main characters./i]

Darth Maul and Savage Opress....Availability of Maul is good at this moment. Savage has great potential but noone play with him, because is useless.

JEDI COUNCIL
Yoda, Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto and Eeth Koth...Yoda is great, Mace and Fisto not bad, Eeth and Plo are almost useless. Why the Jedi Council is so weak? Synergy of this five should be great.

I don't understand why some of the side characters are much more better, than the SW main characters. (B/W...no comment, Lando...perhaps, Tie Pilot, Sun Fac...insane, Shoretrooper....absolutely no comment, almost all from Rogue One and so on)
