Rework Plo Koon

+1

+1000 he is my favorite Jedi and it hurts my soul that he is complete garbage

+1, please consider adding potency.

(*Force Judgment)

I agree, he's a jedi master and needs to be buffed

He's pretty awful right now. The only play he gets with me is the tank challenge, but as soon as I unlock Boba or Fives, that will change.

While I agree with you that many discussions would be better off if put on ice for now, I would say Plo Koon's problem isn't at all about the current meta. It's simply that he lacks the potency needed for any of his attacks to to actually stick. His skill palette is not bad really, but I have literally never seen him actually dispel a buff with his basic attack, outside of playful GW battles vs teams twelve levels below. He just needs a major potency upgrade.

Glad hes getting something but still think his kit could be adjusted all jedi worked with clones that isn't neccesarily anything special bout him other then he said i wont let any of you die while talking to clones in the animated clone wars. Think it would be more charistic to give him some of the unique force powers he possessed or even focused on his style of dueling which was the more slow and powerful similar to anakin/vader. As it is now i dont see buffing damage or even potency making him a viable champ.

Also glad to see others in the community feel the same way

Plo Koon revamped

Plo Koon was a stern and philosophical Kel Dor Jedi master, utterly dedicated, serious, and with a deep compassion for his friends and students. He was the one who first discovered and brought Ahsoka Tano into the Jedi order. Of all Jedi, he seems to me to be the closest to embody many of the so-called classic samurai traits - as they are popularized today.

Plo Koon was a veteran of many conflicts. He carried himself with dignity and never showed hesitation. He actively adopted a black and white mindset in the face of danger, but was far too deeply immersed in the Jedi teachings to succumb to the lure of the Dark Side.

As a lightsaber duelist, Plo Koon was a lethal and relentless combatant, unphased by pain and wounds. His great physical strength made him naturally adept at form V, Shien, an aggressive style focusing on countering and overwhelming the opponent. Even with a broken arm, he could stand up one on one against Asajj Ventress. Darth Maul considered him one of the biggest threats in the Jedi order.

Plo Koon was one of very few Jedi who possessed the ability to use a less potent Light Side variant of Force Lightning. He called it Electric Judgment, and its use was frowned upon by the Jedi.

Plo Koon - new abilities
Jedi tank who punishes overly aggressive enemies and protects allies from harm.

Basic attack
Punishing blow - deals physical damage. This attack cannot be avoided or countered. For every ally killed by the target enemy, Plo Koon's damage against that enemy increases by 100%.

Special ability
Electric Judgment - Deals damage to all opponents. For every buff the opponents have, there's a (%) chance that it is removed. If an opponent has no buffs, there's a (%) chance to apply offense down for X turns.

Special Ability 2
Form V - Deal physical damage to one opponent and lock their abilities for (x) turns. If the opponent's physical damage power is higher than Plo Koon's own, Plo Koon also deals (%) of that difference in extra damage, and gains Retaliation for (x) turns.

Unique ability
Veteran's resolve - When any team member falls below 50% HP, Plo Koon grants them Defense up and they gain (%) turn meter. Any time an ally is killed, Plo Koon Exposes the killer for (x) turns and immediately gains (%) turn meter.

I've attempted to keep all of Plo Koon's old skills (except for the leadership skill) but revamped them to suit his lore. Plo Koon is now an offensive Jedi tank with limited initial attack power but high potential threat level, forcing enemies to disable him first, or risk powering him up to deal very powerful blows to the most important enemy damage dealers later in battle.

Electric Judgment is now a combination of old Plo's basic attack and old Force Judgment. Form V would help make Plo Koon more useful right from the start of a battle, whereas Electric Judgment might be better to save for any buffs the opponent may gain, and Plo's basic attack only really becomes damaging once the battle has gone on for some time. Form V can be used straight off the bat, but stays true to the concept of the character, that he becomes stronger against heavy attackers, and focuses on dominating them in combat. Retaliation fits perfectly with Form V and also makes it a little more costly for enemy teams to take out Plo Koon early.

This is really just an attempt to fan the flames of discussion a little, with a few ideas. Would be great to see what kits others could come up with, that would fit the lore and also give this beloved character a well deserved and unique spot in the Jedi teams.

I've been calling it divine judgment ur right it was electric. It's what I've been saying they should of incorporated it in his kit. He could so much even manipulate the environment around him and the weather. A strong duelist as well. I like your rework. I know your trying to keep his old traits but I don't see a necessity to have synergy with clones then any other jedi did when he actually had stronger bonds to jedis. Ie. he had a telepathic bond with Asohka
