Kit Reveal: Omega

UNIT NAME: Omega
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Attacker, Bad Batch, Clone Trooper
Clever and empathetic attacker who utilizes buffs, debuffs, and the presence of her Bad Batch allies to take out her foes.

------

ABILITIES:

Basic: DISARMING SHOT

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy. If Omega has Evasion Up, inflict Blind and Daze for 1 turn.

If Omega has a buff that can be dispelled and it's her turn, she deals damage again dealing 50% less damage.

Special 1: ADAPTIVE LEARNER (Cooldown 3)

FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) Deal Physical damage and inflict target enemy with Zeroed In. Dispel Zeroed In from all other enemies and Omega gains a stack of Target Practice. These effects can't be copied, dispelled, prevented, or resisted and last until the end of the encounter, Zeroed In is removed from an enemy, or Omega is defeated

If the target enemy is Exposed, this attack inflicts Target Lock for 2 turns and removes 10% Turn Meter.

Zeroed In: Omega has Target Practice while a character is afflicted by this; Omega can ignore Taunt to target this enemy

Target Practice: +5% Critical Chance, and Offense, and +10% Critical Damage per stack

Special 2: EMPATHY FIRST (Cooldown 4)

FINAL TEXT: Omega dispels all debuffs on herself and gains Stealth for 2 turns. Bad Batch allies gain Protection Up (40%) and Defense Penetration Up for 2 turns and 10% Turn Meter.

If Omega has Critical Chance Up, Bad Batch allies gain an additional 20% Turn Meter, and Protection Over Time (20%) for 2 turns.

If Omega already had Stealth and an enemy has Zeroed In, she gains a stack of Target Practice.

Unique: PART OF THE SQUAD

FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) At the start of the encounter, if all allies are Bad Batch, whenever the allied leader begins their turn, Omega gains +5 Speed, and +2% Offense (stacking, maximum 50 Speed and 20% Offense) for the rest of the encounter.

While Omega has Stealth, she has +10% Critical Damage, and when another Bad Batch ally uses a Special ability, Omega assists dealing 60% less damage. While Omega has Defense Up, she has +10% Critical Chance.

Omega's attacks deal 5% more damage for each buff she has, and 5% more damage for each debuff the enemy has.

Watched her tested at r7 with r7 Bad Batch and she looked underwhelming. I was ready to whale on her and BB. Please tell us something isn't right.

I quickly brought her to five stars and have sunk heaps of Kyros on the other 4 BB toons. It seemed like she would really complement them, but doesn't.

I have her at R7 and she arguably makes the team worse than a whole host of other potential fifth characters. At the very least, she adds little and isn't worth taking up a fifth slot as you will just lose banners in GAC with her on the squad. If she is WAI, I would definitely pass.

She seems pretty lore accurate to me. 5th member of a squad that was working fine with 4, but now you have an extra member you need to worry about losing.

That’s pretty good. CG is putting lore above balance this time.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Not to dismiss current claims, but every toon comes out at junk or OP, and then tends to fall in line somewhere as more players get to use them. Not sure what will happen here, but it is a common theme.

It's clear they didn't get the numbers right. She doesn't get any turn meter or cooldown reduction mechanisms like other attackers and at 150 base hero speed,with a 3 turn cooldown on Adaptive Learner, she's just too slow to get going.

Tech hands out Translation, and both Omrga and several other BB characters generate TM.

It’s there, it’s just not at all passive.

But her damage does seem pretty bad. When I played the marquee it was hard to get 3 stacks of Target Practice before the rest of the Bad Batch ripped everything apart.

She reminds me of Young Han. Can stack stats to crazy levels, but it’s reliant on her taking turns which means it’s irrelevant in everything that isn’t a Raid. There it could be pretty useful.

Isn’t the fact that she gives pretaunt and mass stun t1 to wrecker good enough to make her a good fifth on the team ?

Adding that in doesn't allow the BB to beat any teams that they couldn't already with 4 (or adding in any number of characters as a 5th member). The squads that would be helpful against end up keeping wrecker in an extended stun and you can't get defense up to ramp up the additional damage needed. In some cases, you are actually better off having him not pretaunt so you can get the defense up out more quickly. The core problem with her is that she really doesn't change the squad dynamic at all. She was supposed to add damage to the team which may have allowed them to take out some additional squads. Because she is so lackluster on that front, the original 4 do a fine job on their own or you are better off adding more utility to the squad for the fifth member. As it stands, I'll probably just use the original 4 to underdog a squad in GAC. I had high hopes for the fifth member, but BB was already a great squad and it's clear that CG didn't want them to become any stronger by adding her in.

What about Defense, does it change anything if you play against them ? Pretaunt is usually a pain.

And as it stands, Wrecker taunts as soon as he’s damaged once or twice, or as soon as Hunter goes and stealths him.

I agree she’s junk. Placeholder
