Is Vader supposed to be so weak?
For the hardest obtainable character in game he appears to be extremely weak. I just unlocked him and he seems pretty dissapointing.
1st) His basic attack damage is pathetically weak. Before you mention that it has chance to ability block, well, other character's basic attacks do get buff/debuff and deal a lot more damage. Im not expecting Tie pilot kind of damage, but at least like sidious/jedi consular damage.
2nd) He is very slow. In fact, he is that slow that after applying his aoe debuffs, fast enemies have time to play 2 turns before vader gets his turn again to throw his blade and their debuffs are gone. And all that, just for his 1 time trick that can be performed once per battle.
3rd) Its impossible to star up. At the time you unlock him he is almost mediocre. When you get him (if ever get him) to 5 stars, then i'm pretty sure you ll have some beasts in your team like Rey, Leia, QG jinn, Luminara, Pilot etc.. sitting at 6-7 stars.
4th) His leader ability only works for some of the weakest characters in the game (Haven't tested that yet but im not in mood to get snowtrooper, veers and imperials just to check it out)
I only met him a couple of times in GW (never in arena) and just ignored him and killed him last. He was no threat and the terribly AI adds to that. (He throw his ligthsaber on a target with no debuffs on).
So, what you guys think?
