Darth Revan will bring balance to the arena

Very well designed character! people who rely on Traya and Jedi Revan might just have a hard time beating him, but i think older teams like JT Rey, Cluke, Ewoks and Bounty Hunters might be good counters to Darth Revan. Might we see a diverse meta again? I really hope so! The kit for Darth Revan is so unique and it really changes things up for this current meta. With some creative thinking i feel people will be figuring out new teams to beat him. Thats much better than EVERYONE running Jedi Revan in arena. Well done devs!

Thank you very much for giving us the character a majority of people have been asking for from the beginning of this game and making him live up to the hype!
  • Seems like the “immune to TMR” clause was put in there to specifically target JTR, so my guess is they’ve tested it out against her and made sure DR can win. EP, on the other hand, will give your team oodles of TM every time those 5 stacks of ferocity expose. Probably gonna see a counter of EP, Vader, triumvirate (with alternates of Thrawn and SiT, but Traya will be required to get rid of corrupted battle meditation).

    JTR: BB-8 throws Secret Intel, JTR debuffs BSF which makes her lose TM, does plenty of damage, gives her ferocity which makes her take even more damage, and if even one expose lands, RT smashes her and 3P0 will finish her off if needed.

    CLS: As long as the assists don't target Revan, their assists and massive crits with take apart the team with ease. Speed is the factor here.

    JKR: Defintiely done. They're gonna get rekt lol

    Ewoks: I honestly don't know.

    Grievous: Will make a return and with the massive damage they do + Revan's defense dropping, they'll take them out.

    Bounty Hunters: Have a possibility. It depends on DR's stats, honestly. But they still hold a possibility with Embo, Bossk, and Jango (L).

    You have grossly overestimated Grievous. Darth Revan’s leadership nullifies Grievous’s in every way. Greivous does TM removal? Revan and his team is immune to that. Lowered defense? Revan’s team is already going to have very low defense, so it is useless. Stacking potency? Revan will already lower the tenacity of all of his allies, making the stacking potency useless. They will get feared, debuffed, and outsped by Revan. Grievous has no chance. Grievous takes time to build his health up to damage, and deathmarked will be the death of him, because all of his survivability is in his health. Even if he somehow did survive long enough to build up his damage, the Revan team will have so many stacks of ferocity at this point that they will have two to three times as much speed as Grievous.

    Umm he takes away foresight. Rey relys on that
  • I hope you are right, but I think you are wrong.

    Feared, staggered, exposed, shocked, (cant gain TM or heal), or reduce TM or inflict ability block teams that can't counter or crit or gain Foresight and have offense, Crit Damage, Evasion and Speed, and crit chance down doesn't seem like a very good recipie for success for everyone else.

    You know I kinda jokingly commented about old Revans Mark ability that the only new ability that would be more powerful would be "pick an opposing enemy to be instantly defeated."

    Looks like I may have been wrong about that.

    Edit: Forgot Crit Damage, Evasion and Speed Down. ;)

    Ewoks for sure. DR will just die laughing.

    you can't land expose on DSR teams with all the tenacity...then you get the deathmark and foresight removal...JTR would be dead pretty fast.


    JTR team's exposes on crit are unresistable. Not sure if it will help against DR though.
  • The fear component defeats all of these teams. When I first looked at DR, all I could think of was that my CLS team was going to get crushed. I rely on Turnmeter control and DR stops that. I don’t see any of these teams even getting any sort of attempt on DR. I can sometimes beat a JKR with CLS, but don’t see any chance with DR.

    EDIT: Nope. Immune to stun and ability block and most of the time TM reduction. The TM reduction will work on his open but probably not after that.
  • Nope. Darth Revan will bring Darth Revan in the arena. Exactly like Jedi Revan brought Jedi Revan. See, they're basically the same thing. We will have another meta dominated by the "few" that bought him and then a couple months of mirror matches.
