Unkillable Droidekas

The developers decided to make changes to the raid to make it easier to complete. But when at the end of the wave there is a Commander Droid with a Charged modifier and 1-2 Droidekas, the Droidekas will use Reconstructive Revolution much more often and remain invulnerable almost all the time. Wouldn't it be better to prohibit Droidekas and the Commander Droid from receiving bonus turns with a Charged modifier?

    Playing this game, I see how the developers make another new character, they don't want to sell him as a character to strengthen the rest of the squad, but make him a meta-character who beats everyone at the moment of his release. Although the same 3rd sister, if Trey had not been nerfed, then players with a small GM would have a chance to win against players with a large GM. And the game would be more like a strategy, and not a race for a new character, because without it you will lose to GAC or TW. Also in the raid.

    That's why I wrote that drodekas will constantly receive invulnerability, and the droid commander will restore them.

    But you’ve been wrong before about the impact of changes. When the changes to Maul’s Scimitar were announced, you made several posts about how this still meant fleet arena battles were a coin flip but you’d have to accept that you were incorrect about this?

    Similarly, since nobody has played the raid with the adjustments, maybe your theory crafting is once again wide of the mark? Maybe this change will make the raid easier for people who use the optimum strategy on Droideka waves?

    If I'm wrong and Droidekas won't get a bonus turn every turn with the Charged modifier active (when there are only 1-2 droidekas and a commander droid left), then I admit that I jumped to conclusions.
    About Leviathan. If the only reinforcement is Scimitar, then there is still RNG in the form of getting enough debuffs.

    "Only reinforcement is Scimitar" -- Are you talking about on Defense, so that Scimitar is definitely going to be the first reinforcement? 

    No one wants that. We want the defense to deliberately play with sub-optimal strategy so that on offence people can move up for their payout. And that's exactly what this allows. I've never lost using Scimitar as the first reinforcement whether or not my hangars were sabotaged first. 

    If they are, then Scimitar dies, but it's the reinforcement ability that makes the difference. If the hangars are not sabotaged, then I stealth everyone but the tank. Either way my next move is to sabotage hangars and then I bring out the Mk6 Interceptor next time, insta kill their tank and win. 

    Are you choosing not to bring in Scimitar during your first reinforcement turn b/c you want to sabotage their hangars? That's not the optimal play. Get Scimitar out as early as possible so that your speed advantage can allow you to lap the enemy ship as soon as possible. I think you'd still win bringing out Scimitar on turn 3, but I know I always win bringing out Scimitar on turn 2. 

    The Scimitar change has been perfect. Scimitar is an underpowered ship and it's not going to make a difference most times, but it does a great job of ending the coin flip problems with Levi.

    Scimitar update is a lazy band-aid that CG did for the fleets that they broke.  They didn't just break one fleet, they messed them all up by releasing one ship (P1) and then tried to fix what they broke, broke it more, then fixed that, then broke it again, then made the scimitar an offense win 100% option. 

    Their apathy for quality is getting to the boundless level. Though, players are putting leviathan on defense with scimitar and one other non-sith ship for defense.  So, it's not going to be a 100% win rate from this season of GAC because of the band-aid tweaking players have done.  In fleet arena it's still easy to win, but GAC is back to fleets giving a win because CG's messed them up so badly.  (Not that they are concerned about that of course.)

    No. There are no other reinforcements besides Scimitar.

    But it was enough to add Dagger just 1 line:
    "If the enemy Capital Ship is Sith, while TIE Dagger is active, enemy Dark Side Ships gain bonus Turn Meter (including the Capital Ship)."
    But they did not do this.

    It just doesn't always work that way, though, does it? Frequently, the wave with them in there starts, you get one shot, you hit one, taking it 50% down (been as far as 95%), then they get their 27 turns and both of them shield up with damage immunity. So, it can absolutely screw you. Nice to know i'm not the only one who's noticed this change either.

    If anything my teams are better than when this thing started, yet, originally i found my targets and got my points in a battle or two. Now, having to waste a ton of time doing some over and over (specifically maul/nute/sid) due to the issue above.  I am not complaining here, though, just acknowledging his issue. I've just rolled my eyes or yelled at my screen while playing. They (cg) are going to be who they are and that isn't going to change. Of course, i would imagine those changes mean fewer people are participating as to a number of people it's more PITA than anything else.

    Because you kill them, its not difficult to target the Droidekas first.

    All you do here is show you are either playing on auto or haven't a clue what you are doing on manual.
