I wonder if Zaalbar would be good on a team with three Chewbaccas and Enfys under CW Chewy lead. Lots of defense, taunts, daze, protection regen, revive, stun, etc.Also what is his specific synergy with GK?

I immediately thought of a squad with his synergies except replace GK with Sion. That team would destroy stuff. Everywhere.

I love to see all those new toons not being able to beat the Triumvirate.

Still, Armor shred is a debuff that can’t be evaded or resisted. I would say it works pretty well on both new meta factions.

Sabine/Zaalbar armor shred jamboree? Wonder what the limit to stacks is.

I would assume whatever takes defense down to 0? So on raid Sion 8, since he gains 100% defense and each on reduces defense by 25%. I can’t confirm, but these things always seem to be additive.

Theyre never additive.. Armor shred always reduces the defense by a percent of the current value. So youll never get to zero. Also, the effect already diminishes by one shredder towards the end of the raid encounter, so 2 seems like a waste to me.

But having two for two seperate teams could be huge. I use Sabine with my GMY, Hyoda, GK, Ezra team and can do 4%, even with Sabine at g10.

To be able to also have an armor shredder on my AA, Leia team would be huge, as that team can only barely hit 2% without Sabine.

Well, just realized Z has an active taunt, a passive 2 turn taunt, crit avoidance, and self heals health and protection.

After thinking about it he is plug and play and may be one of the best tanks in the game. Even without Vao.

EDIT: With Stacking Defense and Self Healing and a 49% Crit reduction with an Arrow, he is going to be extremely durable. It greatly increases the value of his self healing. Who knows how good he will be but on paper he is really promising.

Btw the "power blast" animation is awesome, and Chirrut needs a similar one with his light bow. I say make his SOP animation his basic, and give him a "power blast" style attack
