Preliminary data on Reva Streams

So far at 50Shards of KAM in runs that we have coached:

29 wins
31 attempts

1 of 2 losses ran Second Sister
5 of 31 attempts ran Second Sister

15/31 attempts had maxed Ops missions
1/2 losses had maxed Ops missions.

Far too early to tell for sure, but preliminarily this falls in line with my expectation that 2S would have a higher failure rate and that Ops missions would have a real but fairly low effect on failure rate. (It may have none at all, we'll see, but quantifying off only 31 attempts is dangerous).

    one of the things that may distinguish when she's viable and when she's not is whether a player is willing to stream.

    She creates new concerns, for sure. If your player isn't ready to handle those concerns on their own AND they're not willing to stream, I doubt you'll have good results.

    Thanks everyone for the data collection. It’ll be interesting to see long term if 2s is a viable alternative to 8b. Having r7 crew in the TIE Int would be a nice plus.


    Long term, 8B is needed at R9 for a combat mission

    Unless by that time the RotE map has changed such that that planet and mission no longer exist

    8B is better if you are fighting an all jedi squad for the blind on everyone, but 2S has a rly good first special.


    This doesn't really address the TB situation, which is different. And the Reva mission is different still. Remember that 2S is a hero toon in TB, which converts every action she takes into an AoE for 2% of her health, which is great in some circumstances, but is terrible against Jawas b/c it becomes a Tsunami of thermals.

    These things are somewhat manageable with modding and strategy, but 8B has the option of not doing an AoE if that turns out to be necessary. 2S does not. Which means bad RNG can't force 8B into picking up 10-12 thermal, but it can force 2S into doing that.

    Again, the situation will not occur in most runs, which can lead people to think that 2S is great if that never affects your personal run. But over many runs the weakness will be exposed.

    Is her strong first special so much of an advantage that it outweighs those times when she stacks thermals on herself and 7S (who will also get them b/c of the 7S assist)?

    This is a legit open question until we get good data across many, many runs.
