It ridiculous that such an awful character in the movies is on nearly every team as the Leader. She needs a rework that only works with FO toons. I'm not saying it's op, I'm saying that it doesn't make sense. She was one of the most disappointing characters in the Star Wars universe and yet she is the best leader in Arena? No, the devs need to make her leader ability work way better with FO toons and nearly not at all or even better it only works with FO toons. I'm tired of seeing the silver bucket head in 80% of squads.

"Nicol_Bolas;426018" wrote:Old Daka?Geonosian Soldier?Royal Guard?That's the thing all of those toons you target first or stun them so that they aren't an issue. Phasma's leader ability you can't stop. If it was only for FO toons then you could do something to counter it.

Don't know what your Arena Rank is but I've never had an issue facing off against Phasma Led teams. Heck I run a Phasma team and get a grin when I see one in the sea of Dooku/Ben or Droid teams because it's a sure win. Her leadership skill doesn't proc that much, and even when it does its never been something so pivotal that it's the only reason I win or lose. Heck I dropped from 23 to 77 practically overnight since they neutered Fives. So she's obviously not that great on defense. Lvl 79 half my squad is Gear 9, others are just waiting on Furnaces

Lvl 79 half my squad is Gear 9, others are just waiting on Furnaces I'd love to be on your server then, my top 20 is filled with 50% OB, 25% Dooku, and the other 25% Phasma. I run a Jedi team so I've come to terms with never being able to get #1, but that doesn't mean I want to see the exact same leaders every day. Right now I just do the 3 arena fights a day to fill the daily activity, it's a chore for me.

you must be in a really new server, she is definitely a rarity in top arena teams from last year

The devs really need to rethink what they want. They said they wanted more diversity in the arena but all they have done is limit it to a very select few. I just looked back at the top 50 and it gets even worse becuase there are only 4 people that aren't using Phasma, OB, or Dooku as lead.

She was? I just thought she was a bit character... Can't say I was disappointed by her though as I did not have any expectations....

Then you didn't watch the trailer which made her look like the new Boba Fett and you didn't read the comic where she was a important in the training of Finn.

There are very few ftp chars worth any attention currently making it hard to compete with p2p. If you like nerfs, would appreciate you aiming towards paid characters - or just learn how to counter Phasma (which is, in fact, very easy)

Old Ben and Dooku are both F2P toons. What toons are you talking about?

A lot of her scenes got cut, and she'll have a bigger role as the trilogy unfolds. If you just watch the movies Boba Fett is a punk too. Dude was useless in the movies, and died trying to kill a blind man.

If anything they need to make more toons with useful leadership abilities for diversity

Oh you poor uninformed person. Boba Fett is not dead, and Phasma has to be dead. Plus unless they decided to not film any of these scenes that were "cut" they didn't happen. I guess you could say the same thing about Boba Fett if you don't count the books as canon. Phasma's character was so lack luster, I can't see them bringing Phasma back.

That's what I was saying, if you just watch the movies. Also, since Lucas scrapped all EU and renamed it "Legends" it's non canon so until Disney says otherwise he's still being slowly and painfully digested. And it's already been stated that Phasma will indeed return and have a larger impact in the next installment of the series but I personally question the BAness of her simply because she chose to lower the shields at gunpoint instead of being a boss and taking one for the First Order.

Who said she was coming back? Also the Legends franchise is still canon becuase Disney have recognized them as happening. They reserved the rights to use any material from Legends but until they do it isn't as canon as the movies. Its like Disney taking the old fairytale stories like Rapunzel, Cinderella, etc. and remaking them in their own movies. They are based on older stories but they have the rights to change them when they retell them later.

Legends isn't canon, I know a lot of people are upset but you'll just have to come to terms with it. The actress herself has confirmed that's she's in the next installment you can look for yourself.

Legends is canon, it's just not as canon as the movies. That's what Disney did when they took over, they reserved the rights to use any and all previous material that is in Legends which means it is canon until Disney do anything with the material. Legends is like the original version of a movie and until Disney make the remake of the old movie, that's what you base your information off of for the universe.
