rebels characters abilities besides chopper?

Hera has a leadership that gives every phoenix squad unique to the rest of phoenix squad. So everyone gets Chopper's heal, Sabine's whatever, etc. This leads me to strongly suspect the characters will be pretty bad on their own (like Chopper), and really only usable as a group, so it's going to be a reeeeeeally long time before they see much action since you need to gear all of them (and get gouged at $500 each for them).

Wiggs was effective AND an easy farm. It's unclear if these guys will be any good... Deathtrooper and Krennic certainly weren't, despite having a Wiggs type synergy. But they certainly arent going to be an easy farm, given they wont be in a farmable location for 3-4 months. Their huge pricetag and forced synergy means you probably wont be seeing many teams of them.

I listened to a podcast, don't know who was the host, but EA Jesse was the guest and he talked about this.

I hope so. Not because I have a Zaul (don't even have a maul) I would just really hate every month a release of characters that just leap frog through the metas.
