Evaluate my Vader please, mod suggestions?

Profile: https://swgoh.gg/p/291228138/

Hey guys, I am pretty proud of my Vader, but I am wondering if you guys think I should mod him any differently? I currently have potency cross, although I'm in a Palp lead. Running a full health set currently. Give me your tips! Thanks guys and girls.

Stats:
Health: 41.8k
Protection: 58.6k
Speed: 251
Potency: 71.5%
Tenacity: 58.9%
CC: 30.25%
CD: 150%

  • Speed is always key on Vader and that's pretty fast. Until you could exceed the speed it's not worth changing much.
  • Who are you fighting against? If there's bastilas in your shard you'll need like 150+ potency at a minimum (around 200 is better if you want a good chance of any dots sticking to speed you up at the beginning of the match). 70% is pretty low if the enemy has any sort of tenacity buffs.
  • Is Vader worth modding for Offense or Crit Damage or does he always hit like a limp noodle?

    I initially modded for Potency to land the DoTs and slows and Health/Protection because he was under-geared at the time.

    He's TW/GA B team material so not my highest modding priority but I could work on switching things up if the potential DPS gains are worth it.
  • If you're using him in raids and outside arena then yes, extra damage is great. In arena, as we unfortunately know, 97.2% of the time, speed is king. A speed x4 set with the remaining two being whatever mods have your highest secondaries regardless of speed. Ideally they'd be a pair, but Vader typically needs to go first under zPalp.

    I have a second set of mods for my Vader for when I max out Wampa so I can run a high damage Wampanader team. Just swap between the two depending on where I'm using him. (Not my arena team)
  • TB: Doesn't really matter whether you go for speed or damage, both will be sufficient when you use him under a zeta Palp.
    Raids: Damage
    Arena/TW/GA: Speed (+ potency). You want him to go first with his AoE + Saber throw combo in order to start the TM train. An example of the importance of speed? Palp vs BH. Bossk goes first? BH win. Vader goes first? Palp wins.
