Quick...Now's your chance to rework Rey!!

So the Rey event is what half over? And don't know about you guys but I am very underwhelmed by Rey. I'm on a Nov 2015 shard and there are 0 on arena teams...a bunch of people have her but no one is using her...because she is lackluster at best. They have said she should be nearly on par with CLS...and even the most avid supporters would agree that she is nowhere near as good as CLS.

So rather than just another rant I wanted to ask the developers (because I've heard multiple times that they read the forums.) to think about a hot fix rework...make her good. Do something...increase her damage (by a lot), let her hit through stealth, reducer her cooldowns, something...anything! and then let everyone know that you guys reworked her.

And its more than just make us dopes that bought crystals to get the Vets to unlock her happy...I know a lot of people in my guild and in my arena shard chat that have talked about not farming her any more because of the negative feedback they are seeing.

So this is your chance...quick!...make her better...announce it...then that would light a fire and everyone and their mom would be itching to get this new amazing character...in stead of being happy they waited it out.

I get that you are trying to slow down the power creep...but a hero's journey character is NOT the place to do it.

    The idea behind the post is to try and get them to give her a little bump sooner rather than later. I'm still gearing her and I think she will have a place.

    and I would LOVE to be wrong. and maybe once someone figures out who to put around her to make her the most amazing defensive player ever all will be good.

    People on my arena shard have certainly figured it out. Rey is taking over now and she is harder to beat on defence than any previous meta I can recall. Maybe players will figure out a good counter but for now the players who won’t get Rey are panicking. With mods as strong as those on the Rey squad certain teams can still beat her on defence, but with inferior mods there seems to be little chance.


  • Most use Grey Rey lead, R2, BB-8, GK and Old Ben. That’s very hard to beat. Alternatives are Beige Rey or Thrawn in the 5th slot. I suspect Beige Rey gets the killing going quicker, but the double tank squad is very hard to stop when it gets crit chance up and the exposes fly.

    There are at least one or two guaranteed counters to Grey Rey squads, but they also require rare toons. It’ll be tough in arena for a lot of players. CLS and GK/Barriss won’t cut it now.
