The Jedi Knight Anakin changes ***Megathread***

Na rey is more broken then Anny. Anny is just right.

Faced a gear 11 7 star Anakin, even killed RG first instead of Ani to let him get loose, only guy I lost was ST Han, I let Anakin take a lot of turns also, wasn't that great, but everything went my way so probably just a bad run

My team was Old Ben lead, ST Han, Rey, QGJ, Geo

His team

Anakin lead, RG, Aayla, 5's, Rey

@Berimbolo yeah I don't think anakin is too too great with clones at least not as good with Jedi. Clones just a tad too slow. I faced a squad exactly like yours but with Jedi and rg. I shut them down pretty good I auto battled without controlling targets and won pretty easily

BEAST!!!
JKA Rex 5s QGJ RG (I don't have Rey).
Ani's AOE is sick.
Attacking Rex 5s Echo Rey RG (all maxed on both sides except my Ani needs a furnace for g11).
I do the normal attack Rey (or opponents highest DPS) usually pullback and wait for the GS or QGJ assist special. This time had her down below 50 his RG procs taunt. Take some shots at RG then Ani's up. She's probably at 30-40% Ani's AOE hits her and demolishes her. QGJ HA take care of his RG am rinse and repeat on QGJ game pretty much over.

Tried him against some evasion leader. He's great, but his leader ability either is not working as intended or the wording in its description is misleading.
It states: "Base: Jedi and Clone allies gain 10% Offense and 10% Critical Damage and other allies gain half that amount. Whenever an ally is Evaded, they gain Advantage for 2 turns."
But actually only the one that missed an attack gains advantage. Am I reading it wrong or is he bugged?

No this is how it works and the description is right... If everyone gets advantage it would say all ally gains advantage

You're reading it wrong. It's working as intended. 'They' is referring to the attacker, not the team.

"They" is a plural pronoun. There is no singular, gender-neutral pronoun in the English language.

Correcting grammar is literally my job, and I am paid $22 an hour for it because I know what I am talking about.

While it's not my job, I'm a bit of a grammar na-zi (not sure why the non-hyphenated word needs to be censored in this context) myself, and I had the same initial reaction as you. I always learned that "they" can never be singular, even though it is common in spoken language. However, there is not universal agreement on this today. I personally like the idea of having a gender-neutral pronoun for cases like this, so long as its use is unambiguous. I can see the argument that it is not unambiguous here.

My first thoughts on the new Anakin:

He synergies really well with Royal Guard. Anakin's Righteous Fury has a big bonus damage and big turn meter gain when an ally falls below 50%. So right after Royal Guard activates its taunt, then Anakin usually gets to go next with a big damage bonus, the perfect time to use his reckless assault AOE. Yes he can exposes him, but with red guard already taunting, it will be hard for the enemy to really exploit that, while the benifits of team wide offense up for 2 turns more than makes up for it.

PS His leadership ability to give crits on every evade is a great anti-evasion tool (in addition to the base damage boost which just alone would be good, with the anti-evasion its great).

Which skills would be best to omega for Anakin?

Now if only I didn't need to have G10 toons to farm him in cantina. That final **** battle and 3*... Grumble grumble grumble.

@SlyGambit allow me to help you there PM me here or line bigboss34erick or add me in game 279-513-792 I did the last node with gear 8 toons and level 79

Thanks but I'm not sure how you'd help. I'm fine with toons and allies. It's just a matter of getting lucky on the final with stuns. If you miss one you're down to 2*. My stunners haven't been a gear priority but they need the additional gearing to stick their stuns more reliably.

I'm sure I'll get it once I decide to farm him. That battle is just annoyingly dumb since there are two toons that can effectively one-shot any one of mine. I 1 starred it first shot and 've only tried to 3* it ~3 times since I wasn't actively farming Anakin.

Glad I put the work in on Anakin a while ago, he is now starter material and a force.

I have a few observations to add.

First, his reckless assault is not an either/or for offense up/expose. I had a battle where it added both on the same attack. I guess it balanced out in the end.

Second, having Yoda give everyone advantage through battle meditation is a pretty cool synergy to have.

Finally, and most importantly, I had to take Anakin out of my arena squad because he was only 5* and I dropped lower than I have ever been. I don't think it was because he was low starred (he still held his own on offense), but rather because everyone wants to see him in action and I believe having Anakin on your team right now puts a target on your back bigger than Barriss. If you run him, be ready for that for a while.
