Ima-Gun Di [Leader] Talk Thread

Best thing about this game..5 Jedi all attacking and killing darth Sid after his AOE, ;)

@Push2Stops I really like Ima Gun. I got him from my very first chromium (super lucky) back at lvl 10 or so, and he's been on my team as leader ever since. I recently got him to 5* as well from farming his hard nodes. Took awhile, but worth it. I run an all Jedi team. 7* Mace, 7* Lumi, 6* Ahsoka, 6* Jedi Con. Ima is the glue that holds them all together. Holds top 50 in arena, clears GW.

As a character, his kit and abilities are great. Good basic against droids (I mean, it demolishes them), a special that gives def up (not great currently, but they said def will get better), and a unique that heals him on crit (which everyone does). Now, his leader is where he shines. The bonus defense is all right, but the counter chance is great. 35% is pretty good, and once we can level past 70, his leader ability also adds +25% counter damage.

Ima Gun is a great Jedi leader in my opinion. I will always run an all Jedi team around him. Looking forward to the new event. There is a rework for Mace, I just unlocked Old Ben, and working on QGJ, and if the new hero is Yoda, my team is going to be pretty solid with Ima Gun as the lead.

And then he dodges every one of them instead! ;)

This seems like a good place to start.

Counter Attack - Activation vs. Effectiveness

Which Jedi counter the most or the least?

Who are the biggest threats?

Woot, I saved up 5.7k ally points and spent them all last night. Found out after that sometime in the flurry I got Ima-Gun Di.... Just the Jedi I needed for the event...

Congratulations, I got him in a Bronzium card too, he's useful but a bit hard to farm since he's only on 2 hard nodes and one is level 7. I'm only halfway to 5* with mine.

Okay, lots to talk about here. In what ways is Def. Up getting better? What do we know about the future beyond Lvl. 70, what's the source?
On Ima-Gun Di's all Jedi team how is Ahsoka holding up? She seems severely flawed--dependent on her heal to stay alive but without the speed to make those hits. Does she heal on counter attacks? Qui-Gon Jin seems like a better investment though many of us already have Ahsoka Tano so insight on abandonment or perseverance would be appreciated.
As for Mace Windu, how is he after this new update, worth the farm now?

I had 7900 ally points saved up and spent then last nite also. I got....NOTHING!!! Congrats on ur pull, I'm super jelly :'(

Every Jedi not named Qi Gon Jin isn't worth the cost to lead a Jedi team. I was thinking about Mace before they fixed the speed leadership in turn 1, but now QGJ is best available

That isn't necessarily true. I haven't done the math (nor do I really intend to) but it could be possible for Ima Gun Di to actually proc MORE attacks over the course of the battle. This may be more effective in PVE though, rather than arena. In arena without QJC at leader you would prolly have 2 dead toons before you had a chance to attack. And dead toons can't counter... Something to consider I guess.

Also, it's not the point of this thread. The point is to discuss the good and the bad of this character as a leader--there are so many characters that to discuss who would be better could lead to endless tangents.

Some things to still discuss:
Does anyone know what is taken into consideration for counters, is it just the chance to counter or do the opponents' stats still affect the outcome? Does anyone notice some Jedi countering more than others?
Has anyone done the math to see how many more attacks an Ima-Gun Di teams takes, on average with counters?

Wish I had him
