    Wow. Very nice. :)
  • A super easy solution to balance him is to reduce his damage on non-republic allies and increase his damage for republic allies.

    For a 1st Zeta, I am seeing:

    Anakin dispels all debuffs from himself and takes a bonus turn immediately, dealing 60% additional damage (doubled on Galactic Republic allies) when any ally falls below 50% health or is defeated. In addition, whenever Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex or General Kenobi is attacked, Anakin also gains 5% turn meter and 5% critical chance (stacking) until the end of his next turn.

    Therefore, the zeta upgrade would give (bonuses already added in description): the self cleanse, +10% damage and the 5% turn meter and stacking critical chance gain.

    change the text in his unipue in ally the galactic republic and you have a reasonable nerf.

    I'd be fine with this change. However, people are beating DR + Malak teams with zombie in the leader slot or KRU as tank (Malak can't kill him since he takes reduced damage from percent health damage effects). It would be insane to nerf all these characters or to keep reworking Malak every time crafty players find another counter. Maybe everyone should just accept that every meta had some weird counters and no arena team holds indefinitely on defense.

    As I wrote in the comments above, I'm not a fan of Nerf. but since cg so or so anakin nerfen will be as a suggestion as you can change it very easily. zombie lead is something of ....!

    kru tank is a great solution. and I hope that it will not be changed. I would not mind if Revan Ani would continue to work. I would not be sad about that. My Drevan Malak team beats you offensive without any problems. The only ones who see this as a problem are CG.
  • Why nerf Anakin when they can release a canon fix that will earn them money? Episode 3 Kenobi. Give him an ability called “I Have the High Ground” that allows him to inflict the new debuff LIMBLESS KINDLING on a target enemy.

    LIMBLESS KINDLING
    Character cannot counter, assist, or gain turn meter and has speed reduced to zero... you know, because Kenobi hacks all their limbs off and leaves them to burn to death.

    Ouch. Sounds painful. And meta changing I’m sure. Sign me up! Lol :tongue:

    Hm, nice development. Not only was Anakin not nerfed, but now his zeta allows Padme to also take that extra turn. So I guess we are seeing a team of Zombie lead with zero mods and those 2 skills that give it health on revive minimal to make it die even faster (since AI targets leaders with priority), Old Daka, Jolee Bindo, Anakin and Padme. Zombie dies, Anakin and Padme get bonus move. If any team member other than zombie is down, either Old Daka or Jolee will revive it. Lets see how it does in Sith Raid and other PVE, since in PVP it would be as easy to beat as NS.


    Haha, but no the devs removed Anakins synergy with the jedi so you can only beat Darth Revan with a padme lead not zombie lead! Yet another sloppy miscue resulted from putting greed before game integrity. This is really getting ugly...

    So Anakin was good again for the shortest time as the risk to lose money on Malak will prevail over the general love of Anakin character over Malak... shame


    No Anakin nerf. The love is there and stronger than ever. :D



    This didn’t age well...
