Thoughts on EP/Vader rework!

I want to hear what your thoughts are on the EP/Vader reworks, because for me... well i'm disappointed and expected a lot more! While they are now generally more capable on the offense (but still struggling against certain teams), they are horrible on the defense. The updates are just something mediocre, not meta-shifters as we all hoped they would be and don't do these Sith Lords any justice. I mean c'mon... we're talking about Palpatine and Vader - two of the most significant and iconic characters in Star Wars and two of the most powerful Sith Lords in the history of the galaxy and these are the buffs they come up with, after all this waiting?! Seriously? Not to mention the lack of a second Unique ability on both!

    Both CLS and JTR have really OP kits that allow them to dominate the meta paired with other OP toons like R2, BB-8, GK, Han that are also LS! Unlike the kits of Vader and Palpatine that even after the "rework" are still not good enough to dominate the meta!


    We shall see.


    Palpi is the 2nd most used #1 leader according to the swgoh.gg meta report. Not that bad afterall ;)


    That's good, but he should be 1st most used and what about Darth Vader - he is the 10th most used as a squad member at #1?


    it's never good enough haha. smh.


    I bet you LS fans would be the ones whining if it was the other way around!
  • I admit i wish Vaders zeta was better, but his normal unique addition is incredible. I zetad all 3, and mostly due to Palpatine managed to get 1st in my arena shard for the first time ever. Im completely ftp and i went from going 150ish to 1st, it does soldily agaisnt rebel teams, and against rey its not the best but can win enough to keep the rank.

    Cant wait for the new raid, hopefully Darth Sion, or some of the others

    The so-called "reworks" just helped Vader and Palpatine raise in the ranks, but not so much as to dominate the meta and that's the problem - these two characters deserved more!

    I don't know. I only know of one selfproclaimed LS player on this forum. DS players however are like vegans, haha.
    I personally don't have a favourite side btw, i just meta lame my way to the top ;)

    worth noting btw is that palp lead is used less in the lower ranks, wich means he's still gaining popularity.

    Why would the dark side need an op tank like kenobi? Kenobi is just a cookie cutter character who doesn't provide any benefit to light side, except Jedi and clones who are pretty bad factions. There's also plenty of strong dark side tanks to choose from like shore trooper or unmasked kylo or zombie


    If he is a "cookie cutter" then why is he in almost every top arena squad? He is arguably the best and most versatile tank in the game right now! Shore, Kylo and zombie are good, but not as good as he is.


    He's in almost every top arena squad because he's a cookie cutter character. He fits well in every team


    He is versatile and not only benefits Jedi and Clones but also Rebel and Resistance teams! The Empire and the Sith need a tank like him.


    you can actually use kenobi in a DS team in case you were wondering.


    I like the idea of using an equally powerful DS tank to fit the Sith-Empire synergies instead. Have you thought about that?


    That's fine, but kenobi isn't only amazing in jedi, clone, rebel and resistance teams. He's also amazing in NS and empire teams, or any other team. Just like Nihilus was amazing in LS teams aswell, unfortunately for him powercreep caught up with him. He might make a come-back though due to the palp/vader reworks.
