  • The old Finn has leader skill while in the movie he only teamed with Rey, Veterans and lead nothing.
    And now he is co-general with Poe and doesn't have a leader skill.
    Totally makes sens...

    Great point.
    Like Hux having leader ability (now!), new Sith trooper having sinergy with First Order.... and don’t forget Qi’ra having a lead ability and Enfys Nest not having it....

    None of the TFA characters are leaders when TFA was released but they needed some leaders to support the faction. Four years ago, I think the only resistance toons we had were Resistance Trooper, Resistance Pilot, stick Rey, Finn, Poe

    Given this list, Finn and Poe are the safest choice to give leader ability to back then using only TFA as a basis

    How the hell does this synergize at all with General Kenobi? This has to be a typo


    Because of Kenobis annoying unique taunt mechanic and Finns zeta. If Kenobi gets stunned Finns Zeta is going to recover 40% of his health and protection.

    Finns Zeta
    "when an ALLY is prevented from using an ability during their turn, they recover 40% Health and Protection and gain 40% Turn Meter."

    The Zeta effect isn't restricted to only Resistance characters.


    Wrong, he's simply a place holder as we've seen them use Kenobi before cuz he's the most versatile tank in the game atm.. Who you think they were going to include in the suggested toons list? Holdo? Royal Guard?

    He got a purse, awesome. Says "best with Resistance" in the Insights, then shows synergy with Kenobi.....I'm confused.


    Kenobi=placeholder

    I mean come one guys, Kenobi and R2 have both been used for placeholders before..
