Brilliant meta-changing and lore-appropriate kit. Goodbye GK, Barris, Chirrut, Rex, and some shards heavy in Fulcrum being high in the meta (usage, not leader). And good riddance.
Imagine that CLS, DN, thrawn, and crit synergized teams will remain dangerous but much more susceptible. No more shrugging off every debuff in the game and preventing more in one move every few turns. I can already see the danger in EP, tarkin, vader, tfp, b2, GG, maul, vet han and chewie comps if used outside of full NS team. All with excellent debuffs but too easily cleansed and negated in current meta without right teammates.
Damage a health equalizer and its not a guaranteed cleanse, but close. zSavage appropriately enough will be nearly immune to plague while under attack, until fractured or heal/buff blocked.
As long as the unlock requirements aren't too steep, I think this is the best thing they've done all year with the NS rework. CLS is broken power. This is balance, IMO.
