Palpatine is broken

But yeah he isn't the only character broken, that's true !

according to the meta report on swgoh.gg, palpatine is only used in 28% of the teams in the top100 (that includes top10 and #1 aswell)
This is just an indication ofcourse, it doesn't show how much palpatine is used outside of the top100, or by players who don't have their account synced with swgoh.gg.

@leef what's interesting about that swgoh.gg meta report is that 32% of the top 10 teams have palp and 35% of the rank 1 teams have him.

you could interpret this as having palp helps you get higher in arena.

Well the one issue with using that metric is that he's not farmable. A lot of people aren't using him that otherwise would because they didn't have a good rebel team ready for his first event

I would use him more if I had him at 7*. His use is only going to go up when a) his event comes again b) more people get ShT viable and c) Tie Pilot becomes farmable.

He's one of the best in the game. He's not ridiculous like Wiggs, but he is pretty insane.

according to this of the top 100... only 28% of the teams use him

Not really really close to 80%... I'd say

@Ing256 - yes, I know about maths thanks!

My point was that when you have a binary process (succeed in stun or not) and an discrete number of characters who can be affected (5 toons in a team) then this is very easily analysed as a binomial problem (as in fact are most things in this game).

But yes, if you calculate the expectation from the distribution i gave then you get E(toons stunned) = 2.999 = approx 3.

So I agree with you! Just trying to give a bit more detail to where the answer comes from and what we might actually expect to see happen - i.e. we would usually expect to see 2,3, or 4 toons stunned more than 80% of the time.

He no longer lightnings

Hmm well, maybe it was a little overstimate ;) I'm often between 25 & 50 and I can tell you that I face him VERY often, and it's very frustrating to win or loose on a coin flip "Who's going to be stun". But again it's the same against Wiggs and the question "Who's going to die on turn one?" :p

I love seeing EP in the arena. I one-shot him with Wiggs and the fight is over. Not even remotely close to overpowered.
