As well as qui gon even better, I'm afraid of all the syngeries anakin now has actually.

I main Dooku. I am not entirely worried. Although, there is so much meat to the JKA, Aalya, Rex, 5s, RG/Echo team that was posted as a video here. I dread having to burn through all of them.

Dear god. Yeah that sounds like a very tough squad now. How are you liking Dooku? Is he maxed? I'm kinda debating on him getting either him and daka to gear 9... or Ackbar and Luke to gear 9. My only fear is that count Dooku has too little hp(he really needs his gear 11 to happen soon).. I feel as though this rework was well done, Anakin will be a monster in the arena. So many different syngeries.

EscapeArtist up until today I used Dooku(L). Took him to G10 and fully omega'd him even though doing QGJ or someone else would have been better. I don't regret doing any of that stuff on count dooku. It made him less squishy and with offense up and call assist I seen him do 8k damage a ton of times. Others may say he isn't worth it but in my opinion he is. Old Daka too she is totally worth it. I had to make those same decisions and don't regret them. Easliy stayed in the top 20 with g10 dooku and Daka.

Did you noticed, his unique isnt omega'd since the update. It is on level seven and States 75% more damage.

I used five Omega mats on him before his rework, they are gone now

His unique is and was a level 72 unique that maxes out at level 7. You used purple mats to max it out. This is in line with many other characters who can upgrade a leader or unique ability rank at 72 like Phasma and Fives. The last rank only added 10% turn meter gain to make it 100% turn meter on ally death, up from 90%.

I know this for an absolute fact because a lot of people were miffed about it being an increase in TM gain instead of more damage...because 90% turn meter is pretty much a free turn already because you are almost always going to have more than 10% turn meter when an ally is taking damage.

Oh okay, Thanks for clarification.
I was pretty sure it was his leader ability that wasn't able to reach Level 8 before his rework, but then everything is fine

I faced a max -geared/lvled team :
Anakin (L)
5s
Rex
Echo
Sun Fac

a droid fodder dare I say.
Anakin needs some tank protecting him, or he's not worth being a leader

Oh cool. Yeah I think I will invest in Dooku, and daka. It's just, I'm gonna need a ton of scanners. I know both of them need one for gear 10. And my Royal God needs one for gear 10 as well.. Just a hard choice. I need to be fully sure you know? I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a maxed out Dooku. I just think he's kinda meh, because like Toukai said, his AI plays him kinda horribly, and it's easy to work around, though I suppose that's true for most characters. How much damage does Dooku do on his basic on average?

My dooku does about 4K on his basic. He can easily do 7K with offense up and crits. Over 8k w/offense up and call assist. I'm still missing 2 peices of gear for him. He's geared in G10 and full omegas at the moment. I noticed once I got into the G9-G10 gears the amount of gear needed gets pretty crazy. A lot of Nubians needed.

RG is really awesome with him. Someone drops below 50 and it procs Ani's turn AND the taunt to protect the character.

The big problem with Anakin right now is that he's not using his AoE!! The AI will only use it if someone is in the red basically (to go for killing blow OU as if he still had his old kit).

So what kind of teams are you seeing that work well on offense and not too bad on defense (top-10 level Arena)? Anakin's leader ability is nice but not sure if he's worth being in the lead spot for certain teams yet. Lots of experimenting....

The anakin rework: from the weakest character ever to a new rey?
Its the first time ever i saw him in the top 50 so i wanted to test how good he was after the rework, he hits 10000 with his basic now ....?!
10000??? I have never sern a character hitting 10k with just their basic before not even a rey G10 + imune to healing + imune to buffs i think? I didn't see his aoe yet but he is one extremely powerfull character now damn
