Farmboy Luke Omicron creates potential infinite TM loop for TW

Farmboy Luke's Omicron lets him attack a second time during his turns whenever he deals a critical hit. Alright.

He gains 40% Turnmeter whenever he crits on his basic. That's cool, with double tap, it means 80% Turnmeter.

Put him under a Wedge Lead, and he gets 10% Turnmeter whenever he deals a critical hit, increased to 20% if he double taps and crits both.

Effectively, he gets 100% Turnmeter whenever he doubletaps on his basics provided he crits both times, which is really easy given his high crit chance even without mods, then add mods and wedge's lead into it as well.

Meaning he gets back to back turns infinitely soon as he double-tap-crits once until he doesn't crit anymore, and each time he gets a turn, attack, defense and crit damage are all increased by 10%, stacking without cap.
  • Funny thing is, this loop is only an issue when players benefit from it. In conquest it is working as intended.
  • Best thing isif you remind of the rage from Ranger about the question whether they would even test new stuff. And then the player-base finding broken synergies instantly only after reading the new kit. Before they could even test the new update.

    The main problem here isn't the incompetence of CG not realising this, but the obscure future.

    This is mega op now, but is it worth giving him an omi? Will we have this opness for years, or will it be fixed in 1 week?
    Ever since the QGJ nerf, we know that CG doesn't give a **** and so they wouldn't refund the mats if they changed the omi ability.


    No, them not realizing it is quite literally the only problem.


    Beep, wrong.

    Although it shouldn't have been released as such, it still wouldn't be a problem if they made an announcement by now, saying that potential infinite loop is ok (similar to ns loop at hsith p3), or not.

    Generally a 'we're looking into it' would have also helped, but they started using this and then giving 0 followups for 6+ months, which diminished this sentence completely.


    Who are you?

    It also has issue with chuef chirpa. So hopefully there fix is to luke himself and not just wedge.

    Well, TW is PVP so I guess "benefit" depends which side you're on.
  • Does the bonus attack count as out-of-turn attack with respect to Padmé's ability?

    Hate to break it to ya, but that's old news.


    I made the post when I just woke up. I saw it about 2 hours later, but by then it was too late to just quietly delete this XD
